The donors who are financing the new multi-million-dollar TV ad campaign arguing against a withdrawal from Iraq include a Who’s Who of former Bush Administration ambassadors (to plum assignments like France, Italy, and Malta); a least one of Bush’s original Pioneers; the man ranked by Forbes (in 2006) as the third-richest American; and, of course, former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer.
May I go on record as saying that an ad campaign by a President to advertise staying in a war is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard of…
Is it any more absurd than that President also being a cheerleader? Maybe he could do a cheer in the commercial. “Goooooo WAR!!”
