I just saw my first Wesley Clark commercial the other night. The only reaction I remember to it is that there was a disclaimer on the pictures of American GIs fighting in Vietnam, and it read something about "FILE PHOTOS OF AMERICAN COMBAT TROOPS".

I suppose that was put there so as not to leave room for someone to make a big fuss about how the infantryman in the picture wasn't actually Wesley Clark and the like. I don't remember a whole lot else about it, other than the statement of responsibility at the end, which ran something like "I'm Wes Clark, and I authorized this ad". I'm curious as to whether a) that's a Federal requirement b) it's a Virginia requirement, and c) what the requirement actually is. The way that the Clark people weaved that audio snippet in was actually kind of jarring, and it didn't flow well with the overall tone of the ad.

Enh. I suppose I'll get to see that loathsome batch trudge through Virginia in search of Democratic support. If any of them are actually within easy reach, I'll probably go to a public event or two, especially if Kucininch comes around. Hee hee. "Country Pundit last seen shouting 'Take a bath, you hosers!' as an unwashed mob converged upon his stalled car".

Enh.
