My Bartlett's informs me that it was Shakespeare in his play Henry IV who first wrote "I want there to be no peasant in my realm so poor that he will not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday." To win the white male vote, I suggest Democrat Harold Ford of Tennessee run a version of this ad to counter the desperate racist drivel emanating from the Republican National Committee.

Posted by gooznews at October 27, 2006 08:56 PMI am a Canadian and deeply offended by the reference to my country. We have soldier after soldier coming home in boxes (and there are more military bases in the region I live in that most others). We are most certainly busy - especially in Afghanistan!!!
And this is a racist and sexist ad of the worst kind. I can’t believe the FCC would even allow it. As someone who actually writes ads, I deplore this one!
