New lows
I may have just seen the most vicious attack ad in the history of politics, courtesy of LA Mayor Jim Hahn (and the LA media that pollutes Orange County). In it, he attempts to paint two of his opponents as conspirators in the Enron/deregulation debacle, and even goes as far as claiming that they secured the release of a convicted crack dealer! This after he accused the pair of negative advertising! I was literally shocked speechless after seeing it. To tell you the truth, I’m more impressed than disgusted. Impressed that a politician would so readily stoop to such a subterranean level (I guess it gets easier when you don’t have soul). Really - it was amazing, and I think anyone who saw it would agree.
Of course Mr. Hahn - who's running as a brave leader willing to make unpopular decisions for the good of the city – couldn’t muster up the bravery to appear in his own attack ad. And good luck finding it on his campaign website – it’s conveniently absent from the “TV Ads” section.
