It’s worthwhile looking at the ad that the group supporting the Republican Party, in their drive to keep Ossoff to 50 percent minus one, has running<\/a>.<\/p>\n All right.\u00c2\u00a0 A attack on this young turk’s lack of experience.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps the credence, or suggestion, of resume enhancement.\u00c2\u00a0 Fair enough.\u00c2\u00a0 Beyond that, though…<\/p>\n Embarrassing footage from his very recent college experience where he goofed about with friends and pretended to be Hans Solo.<\/p>\n The slam on the Billy Joel “Georgetown Girls” routine — “Here’s Jon Ossoff and his friends making fun of Georgetown’s female students” (“female” said with a striking inflection) is striking in that you’d have to be pretty darned politically correct to object to this one.<\/p>\n And we end with a shirtless Jon Ossoff in a Darth Vader helmet dancing and prancing and…<\/p>\n All I can say is that if George W Bush went to Yale in an era of social media video…<\/p>\n Skip to this attack ad — most of which is fair enough for attack ad fodder– but\/ and I’m struck by one thing:\u00c2\u00a0 what’s with the evil looking security footage of Jon Ossoff entering the building at second 7<\/a>?\u00c2\u00a0 (The hand shuffling 100 dollars bills at second 23 is also pretty hilarious — like, surely the perfect way to dramatize “his campaign is funded by out of state donors” — if also a good way to dramatize if his campaign were funded by in state donors.)<\/p>\n
