Carly Fiorina ad attacks red-eyed fake sheep
Carly Fiorina, whose name sounds like a mispronunciation of the state from which she's now running for the U.S. Senate, has come out with this campaign ad, and it runs the full gamut of terrible: hokey animal imagery (in the style of Georgia's John "Subtlety" Oxendine), public-domain movie-villain music, a solemn voiceover and a clunky acronym. It's the perfect storm of political gibberish. (Be sure to stick around until the 2:26 mark for maximum effect.) Best of all, I still have no idea what Carly's plans are for California. But if they're similar to what her plans were for Hewlett-Packard, I'll pass. Via Wonkette and The Awl.
