Vernon Robinson is at it again. His latest ad for his campaign against Brad Miller for the House seat in North Carolina’s 13th District is just flat out over the top. It’s an attack ad…kind of. He doesn’t call Miller names, but he does say that Miller voted against a bill that would have paid for more body armor for the troops in Iraq and then lists a litany of sex-related bills that Miller voted for. Actually he cherry picks line items out of larger spending bills, but you can’t miss the point. Watch the video below and make sure you watch it all the way through; I swear you will actually hear the words "probes attached to their genitalia".
You may recall that Vernon was the only Winston-Salem leader to take me up on my offer to host their blogs for free (he was a member of the City Council at the time), but the blog never really took off. If he’d brought even 1/100th of the, uh, creativity of his ads to the blog it would be in the top 10 on Technorati.

I never understood why more politicians don’t cherry pick things like this out of spending bills to attack their opponents with. If more of them did then maybe we could get rid of these huge bills that provide cover for pet projects.
That is amazingly close to an SNL fake-ad I once saw.
One thing I can say for Vernon – he ain’t afraid to tell it like it is, even if it is a bit outter limits. It is too bad all politicians don’t do the same. Especially if they were truthful while doing it.
