Effective though labour’s attack ad undoubtedly is.
I think a little more directness is worthwhile.
Post a comment below:
It was the ECB wot done it: Dick Roche takes the Fianna Fail defence to the pages of the Wall Street Journal Europe.
IRA members seek US Medicaid assistance? Only in conservative prank video.
HSBC to pay $US63 million compensation to investors in light-touch regulated Irish investment fund linked to Bernie Madoff.
Saudi Arabia thinks Batt O’Keeffe is still Minister for Enterprise (as of 15:50, 20 April) not Richard Bruton.
“When I am on holiday, I am not foreign minister.” It’s not just Ireland where ministers have blind spots about their connections.
I can’t help but thinking, is the original Labour ad really an attack ad? It’s nothing that the opposition haven’t been saying for some time and it doesn’t target anyone in particular, it’s more of a policy thing.
Sure, it’s more emotionally manipulative, but I don’t think that factor alone defines it as an attack ad, as such.
But yeah, Political Thicko’s re-working of it sure is – and I bet Labour wish they could get away with it too (the PDs probably do too, as nothing helps the parties more than being on the receiving end of a low blow!)
