NEW YORK The local Fox affiliate here has refused to run a spot by The Ad Store for Manhattan borough presidential candidate Brian Ellner that lampoons President George W. Bush by pasting a photo of his head atop a naked middle-aged torso.

Ellner, a Democrat, also introduces his gay partner at the end of the ad.

A representative from the local affiliate, WNYW, confirmed that it had decided not to run the ad, but declined to give a reason.
