Ned Lamont: Bringing the Funny
Posted by Jill | 7:41 AM
Via Hoffmania comes this terrific campaign ad from Connecticut Senate candidate Ned Lamont:



This reminds me of an SNL sketch that Al Franken did back in the days when he was funny. He and Tom Davis played rival political candidates, each making ever-more scurrilous and increasingly ridiculous claims about the other. I don't remember the particulars, other than one of them claiming "We'll kill criminals BEFORE they can commit crimes", and Franken's tag line: "Vote for me. Pete Tagliani."

I suspect that Lamont's people remember that sketch too.
