“In a 1994 interview, Senator Kerry mentioned a 50-cent gas tax as part of a plan to cut the federal deficit. He never talked about the gas tax again and later refused to back a similar bill by someone else.”
“Kerry has never sponsored, cosponsored or voted for a 50 cent gas tax Increase. Sen. Charles Robb introduced legislation in 1993 that phased in a 50-cent increase. John Kerry did not vote for or co-sponsor this bill. (S. 1068, Introduced 5/28/93).”
“The Bush ad, called “Wacky,” is shot like an old, black-and-white silent movie.
“Some people have wacky ideas, like taxing gasoline more — so people will drive less. That’s John Kerry,” an announcer says. “He supported a 50 cent gas tax. If Kerry’s gas tax increase were law — the average family would pay $657 more a year.”"

As a top prosecutor in Middlesex County, Kerry took on organized crime and put the Number Two mob boss in New England behind bars.
- from Kerry’s official bio
[Black screen fades into a pan over black and white photos of mob violence. Somber music plays.]
ANNOUNCER: Some folks think that organized crime will just go away if you ignore it. John Kerry does. Back when he was a prosecutor, he never once took New England’s Number One mob boss to court. No, he settled for slapping less important mobsters on the wrist. Nobody has ever suggested that this was because Kerry had deep ties to the mob or was taking kickbacks from violent and dangerous mafia dons. So there’s probably another explanation. America deserves to hear it: Ask John Kerry why he let the mafia kingpin go.

“[Kerry and Kennedy] have had policy differences in the past,” she said, specifically citing Kerry’s early endorsement of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction act of 1985…

ANNOUNCER: Which John Kerry do you want? You can take your pick. He’ll tell you he’s a Democrat, but when it was convenient for him he betrayed his party and went behind his state’s senior senator’s back to vote for the Gramm-Rudman Act, a bill that has had to be revised twice because it was… unconstitutional.
[A red stamp reading “UNCONSTITUTIONAL” comes down and partially covers Kerry’s face.]
ANNOUNCER: Not a big surprise from a man who served in Vietnam and then came home to protest the war while his buddies were still fighting.
[We see several snapshots lying side-by-side on a table: John Kerry, Jane Fonda, an unidentifiable hippie burning a flag, Pol Pot, Barbra Streisand, Osama bin Laden, Genghis Khan, and Janet Jackson.]
ANNOUNCER: John Kerry - Not even his liberal friends can trust him.

Kerry’s French Toast
Submitted by: Kerry Lubecki
A French toast sandwich with a cream cheese and brown sugar center. My family loves this, and it can be cut into wedges and served at brunch…
- from allrecipes.com
[Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose” plays while we see slow-motion black-and-white video of Kerry sipping from a suspiciously small coffee cup.]
ANNOUNCER: If you go onto the internet, you can find a prominent recipe for “Kerry’s French Toast.” And no wonder. John Kerry seems to like the French more than Americans. He even married a woman who was born just a few hundred miles from Paris.
[We see a blurry picture of Kerry which seems to sway and shake.]
ANNOUNCER: So what IS John Kerry? A scientific study has shown that he is made up of at least 60 percent water. And other research shows that he may be related… to monkeys.
[A split-screen: We see John Kerry speaking and gesticulating on the left of the screen, and a dirty chimpanzee masturbating furiously on the right.]
ANNOUNCER: This fall, it’s up to you. You can re-elect George Bush, or you can vote for the wet French monkey. The choice is yours.

1“ANNOUNCER: So what IS John Kerry? A scientific study has shown that he is made up of at least 60 percent water. And other research shows that he may be related… to monkeys.”

3I have a sinking feeling that the only reason we haven’t seen these ads already was because they were rejected by Karl Rove for being way too subtle.

4FYI, French toast allegedly hails from Albany, New York. It’s named after the innkeeper who created it. Other stories still give it an American origin.
The whole rightwing anti-French schtick drives me nuts, but the “wet French monkey” bit was funny. I like the monkeys.

6I agree with praktike… You may be giving them ideas for there next commercial. However, if they do you can always sue them for stealing your ‘intellectual property’. Through the DMCA at them.

11Great satire. Kerry’s campaign runs misleading ads to, but, and it’s possible this is just my bias speaking, the Bush’s campaign ads seem to depart further and more frequently from the truth. Bush reminds me of a man who believes the ends justifies the means, and forgot what the ends are.

12Kerry: descended from monkeys.
Bush: sired by monkeys.
It’s more than just a fine line, people.
