Boy, I sure do wish I lived in Missouri these days. It's not because of baseball fever but because their political attack ads feature more celebrities than a typical night at Spago's. Witness Michael J. Fox stumping for stem cell research. Seems our buddy Jim Talent (R) isn't a fan. (But didn't he change his mind on that anti-cloning bill?).
In any event, nobody could let Marty McFly get away with this "sympathy for Parkinson's patients" crap. So they got together a super-pretentious Aramaic-speaking Jesus, that one Cardinal jerk, that other Cardinal jerk the St. Louisites have a soft spot for, and Ray Barrone's wife for a little attack ad of their own.
It's totally awesome that they think that they can win over St. Louisians with Kurt Warner in an orange jumpsuit. Maybe they can get Yoko Ono to do a follow up ad
I'll admit it: this whole post was basically Valatan-bait. But I also did want to hear the proper term for people from St. Louis so it wasn't all for nothing. Now I know, and I guess that's half the battle.
It shoudl be added that I have kept my registration in Missouri specifically to vote against Mr. Talent, who has not been outside the margin of error against McCaskill the entire election cycle.
Alex was only successful because the Keaton family wanted to establish a young black republican.

Man, the Fox commercial came just in time. It had been a while since Rush had uttered such wonderful BS.
On a side note: Euro football seems more racist even than ours (using Rush's analyst days as an example).
