Burning Down The House

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by Daniel Larison

Noah Daniels Powers Boothe returns as the voice of the McCain campaign in a second television ad that refers vaguely to policy initiatives that sum up McCain’s plans with a series of adjectives (”Taxes: Simpler, Fairer; Energy: Cleaner, Cheaper”) and absolutely no details on what McCain would actually do.  I believe he is also against crime and likes children.  The ad promises that these initiatives will “ignite our economy.”  Igniting the economy sounds like something a pyromaniac central banker would try to do.  It is probably not the best phrasing.

    Writing a blog, you can’t hear your audience laughing out loud. Igniting the economy! Will the White House serve as tinder?

  2. Will the White House serve as tinder? Hah. Are those words of encouragement for an American Guy Fawkes? Or an invitation to aliens, a la Independence Day?
