'Baby killer' shouter uses incident in new ad
Another House Republican is campaigning on his ability to heckle. A week after Rep. Joe ("You lie!") Wilson celebrated his lack of silentness in a campaign ad, Rep. Randy ("Baby killer!") Neugebauer has released his own ad (below), in which he vows to keep fighting most vigorously for the rights of the unborn. "I will continue to speak with the same passion that I spoke last night, maybe in a little bit different forum, but still with the same intensity," he says, with what can honestly be described only as a smirk. Wilson supposedly raised $1.5 million in the week after the State of the Union incident. Neugebauer will rake it in, too. Who knew shouting the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong place was so lucrative?
