Politics The McGinn Campaign Is Behind This, Right?

Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 12:41 PM

This has to be part of an orchestrated campaign—a poorly orchestrated campaign— of dirty tricks. There's no other explanation that makes any sense...

Does it remind anyone else of Hillary4u&Me?

Holy shit that was retarded.

That wasn't long enough by any measure. I loved the creamy finish!

Holy Shit. Did Local 27 Firefighters really make that video?

If so, and if I ever run for office, I hope they never endorse me.

Sammy Davis, Jr. is rolling in his grave.

1) Why can't they afford a singer who can:

1a) Sing.
2a) Keep up with the beat.

2) What's with his weird obsession with children painted up as half-furries?

OH MY GOD THAT WAS AWESOME

I don't get it. Mallahan is at once a "right stuff" astronaut and a scarecrow? There must be some deep symbolic meaning here, anyone?

Easy, scarecrows eat your brains.

I'm still confused; is this video supposed to make me want to vote for Joe? Wow, I really wish I could get those 3 minutes of my life back.

I can't get this song out of my head now.

Why does the Seattle Firefighters Union hate Joe Mallahan? This is catastrophic.

Posted by Judith on October 26, 2009 at 2:59 PM

Wow, this video has about as much substance as Joe Mallahan's stances on the issues...NONE!

Grendel made out with me earlier

This is hysterical!

Not sure if it's unintentionally bad or deliberate sabotage? My money is on sabotage.

Ever!

The No on Referendum 71's ad about God creating man and woman is better by comparison.

As a McGinn volunteer, I hope lots of people see this.

@16

It says at the end made and paid for by the Firefighter's union.

Posted by passionate_jus on October 26, 2009 at 4:41 PM

What the fuck is this shit?

Posted by Baconcat on October 26, 2009 at 7:16 PM

Ha! The video has been taken down. Hilarious.

Posted by jonhickey on October 26, 2009 at 10:17 PM

Surprise: "This video has been removed by the user."

Posted by ddoo on October 26, 2009 at 10:19 PM

surprise, it's popping up elsewhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSlTMUd8c…

That has got to be one of the worst commercials for ANYTHING!

Must be all that carbon monoxide firefighters breathe in that explains this mess.

Or maybe this is what a campaign $95,000 in the hole begins to look like.
