Desperate Daschle uses pro-Bush imagery for election bid |
How bad has it gotten for Democrats at summer's end: A paid TV advertisement
from Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, President Bush's top congressional
foe, features the South Dakotan hugging and embracing President Bush!
While Democrat party officials of all stripes decend on New York City to
blast the president, Daschle has quietly purchased air time in his home
state for the minute-long campaign commerical -- a commerical insiders have
dubbed: "Bush Hug."
Daschle faces a tough campaign against South Dakota Republican challanger
John Thune.
"This is delightful!" laughed one republican official in New York on Monday
morning. "Senator Daschle now concedes supporting the president can score
him votes in the fall!"
DRUDGE presents a transcript of the controverisal ad:
Announcer:
Sen. Tom Daschle: Tonight, the President has called us again to greatness,
and tonight we answer that call.
Male Voice: In our country's hour of need, Tom Daschle made us proud.
Sen. Richard Durbin: Tom Daschle called us together and said, 'we have to
keep this nation safe and secure.' I thought that was one of his finest
moments. He really said in those moments what all of us felt, that before
we are Democrats, before we are Republicans, we're Americans.
Sen. Carl Levin: Tom Daschle has a great inner strength and toughness, which
is why Tom is such a great leader.
Male Voice: Senator Daschle helped forge a consensus to rebuild our
military.
Headline: Daschle: Time to Unite Behind Troops, Bush
On Screen: Daschle and President Bush hug on House floor.
Male Voice: Tom won significant increases in homeland security and helped
provide law enforcement new tools to track down terrorists.
Headline: Daschle, mayors pitch homeland security
Headline: Daschle Calls For More Body Armor For S.D. Soldiers in
Iraq
Male Voice: And no one has done more to get our troops the equipment they
need or ensure our veterans are taken care of when they return home.
Headline: Sen. Daschle receives 'Unsung Hero' award from
American Legion
Daschle: I'm Tom Daschle and I approve this ad, because a strong military
and a strong America is the best way to fight terrorism.
