Call the CDC!

Another viral ad, this one about airport security:




What I find odd about both his ad, and the one posted yesterday (featuring Madeleine Albright changing the tire on a terrorist's limo) is that they express the views and feelings of what I suspect is an enormous majority of Americans. In favor of the Iraq war, or against it, happy with the President, or not, at least among that portion of the population not terminally ill with Bush Derangement Syndrome, there is much frustration with security measures that pretend that we don't have any idea who the enemy is, and with Government policies that play kissy-face with murderous psychotics like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-il, and that ignore the fact that the regimes in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, for example, aren't on "our side" in any meaningful sense.

That being the case, one wonders why we won't be seeing these ads during the first commercial break on CSI.
