Original #McConnelling Ad May Break Campaign Rules

Such a face! Image from source, TPM

Who knew, in this post-Citizens United world, that there were any federal campaign rules left? But if Sen. Mitch McConnell (and apparently lots of others on both sides of the aisle) are breaking them? I say shut 'em down. We don't have much left to keep up the integrity of campaigning and elections, but we need to work with the rules that we have.

#McConnelling Ads May Break Federal Campaign Rules

Wordless political ads campaigns post that many say are likely meant to help super PACs could break federal law, according to campaign finance watchdogs. That argument came up after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) campaign posted an ad of what appeared to be b-roll* of McConnell smiling and posing with voters in various shots. Observers speculated that the ad was really meant for pro-McConnell super PACs to use. It is illegal for those organizations to coordinate with the campaigns. . .

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's #McConnelling Challenge

One of the sillier, but funniest Daily Show segments aired on Thursday night. I'll post the clip when it's up, but essentially, they just took a promo clip for Sen. Mitch McConnell, and set it to music. The clip is apparently for use in cobbling together Super PAC commercials or something, but it's a bunch of poses and basic "B-roll" footage of everyone's favorite turtle Senator from Kentucky.

The songs chosen had no relevance, other than they were just funny when played behind the video. In addition to running several (and cracking up on camera), Jon Stewart issued a challenge to viewers to make their own videos, and post them at twitter, with the hash tag #McConnelling. Challenge accepted! My song choice is as far from Mitch McConnell as you could imagine, Clarence Carter's ribald Strokin'. Enjoy!
 

UPDATE: If that's not to your liking, how about Mitch with The Spice Girls' Wannabe?
 

Not doin' it for you? Okay, then how about Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy?
