    Not a very memorable commercial. Just a desk, a sign and with a wooden wall with an unemotional drone-on voice over.

    I was more appalled that Franken’s on-screen approval message did not last the full 4 seconds required by law. This ad makes Franken look like even more of a criminal now.

    p.s. Thanks to MNPublius for pointing out the “4 second rule”. It’s great to see we are getting into the serious issues.

    Ok, I don’t understand this law, but how does Franken get away with the disclaimer being less than 4 seconds?

    Ummm…the picture and disclaimer appear at the 25 second mark and last until the end of the ad at 30 seconds. Republicans having trouble with math today?

    Trompo - thanks for pointing out the ending. The voice-over was putting me to sleep and I missed it. I pulled out my magnifying glass and have to admit you are correct.

    So…the v/o was unemotional in your opinion. Noted.

    Just so I’m clear on this jb2…you’re totally fine with the way the reconstruction of Iraq was handled and see no reason to investigate well-substantiated instances fraud and/or war profiteering?

    It certainly is OK to investigate fraud if it is done by sane and impartial investigators. As is obvious to most of the electorate, if Obama wins the election, he will owe his soul to the Daily Kos crowd and the only investigators will be the most rabid people suffering from 3rd degree BDS.

    jb, are you saying Coleman isn’t sane and impartial?

    Sure sounds like it.

    Hey I’ll take any kind of oversight I can get when we are talking about billions of tax dollars being stolen by war profiteers… with the active participation of Coleman protecting them it seems. Crazed or not some oversight is better than no oversight at all when it comes to no bid contracts.

    I would love to see a mashup of al and norm’s commercials. They are starkly different. And I would have loved some sane and impartial oversight between 2002 and 2005, when we really needed it. Normie flushed all of our money down the war profiteering tubes. OUR money, dems, Repubs, and Independents. Sanity and impartiality have been sorely lacking since BushCo took office, thats plain to see. And Normie’s the lapdog cheerleader for the mess they made. Poor Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot, and are mad at all the wrong people.
