Paging Karl Rove...Paging Karl Rove
By Ed Driscoll · September 30, 2004 09:49 PM · The Making of the President

Here's a potential ad script for GWB:

FADE IN

BUSH: "Hi, I'm George W. Bush, and I approved this message"

DISSOLVE TO SENATOR ZELL MILLER, REPUBLICAN CONVENTION:

MILLER: No pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

Together, Kennedy/Kerry have opposed the very weapons system that won the Cold War and that is now winning the War on Terror...

I could go on and on and on: against the Patriot Missile that shot down Saddam Hussein's scud missiles over Israel; against the Aegis air-defense cruiser; against the Strategic Defense Initiative; against the Trident missile; against, against, against.

This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces?

U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?

DISSOLVE TO SENATOR KERRY, FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE:

KERRY: Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons...Not this president. I'm going to shut that program down.

FREEZE FRAME, HEAVY REVERB ON LAST WORD

VOICEOVER: Shutting programs down and undermining our own troops' security in a time of war. No wonder Senator Miller--who's in the same party as Senator Kerry--doesn't believe that Senator Kerry should be president.

Do you?

FADE OUT

--There's your 2004 Dukakis in the tank moment, using the Senator's own words.

Update: Robert Modean, in the seventh comment of this Brothers Judd post, also has a great commercial script all ready to go.
