Attack ads should be seen not heard.

Continuing with my thoughts on TV political attack ads. See previous posting for a sample “Attack Ad” designed specifically for and against Mit Romney. LOL.

The person I really like to disparage is Newt Gingrich. He has a cloud covered personality begging to be besmirched. Almost like wearing a target on his forehead. “Attack me. Make my day!”

As mentioned in the previous posting, I prefer to give an image characterization of a candidate rather than a full frontal verbal attack to the political enemy. Economizing the verbiage and dramatizing the image characterization. And as they say a political cartoon is worth a thousand words. Oh really? So, here is for dear old Newt.

In the foreground Newt is standing up on a second story balcony overlooking a multitude of loyal supporters out on a vast open plaza. The camera is at Newt’s back looking towards the audience. Then the camera pans around to his side showing straight locks of black hair angled down over his forehead and a Charlie Chaplin mustache. Newt is wearing a red armband that says, “Erase.” Newt is holding in one hand a stack of papers that says Obama’s Executive orders. And in the other hand is an electric eraser.

The only verbiage that is heard is, “Bla bla bla bla bla…” Finally and scrolling across the bottom of the screen is a brief disclaimer: “Any character likeness of an old European dictator would be purely coincidental. Have a nice day.

Pretty cool huh?
