3 Who makes those commercials?

5 I think he should apologize for that ad

6 But he missed!

7 Rockin!

8 Dale ain't apologizing for shit.

9 "3 Who makes those commercials? Posted by: Vic at June 17, 2010 08:22 PM (6taRI)" Vic, they were produced by a guy named Ehrlinger, a twenty-something right out of college here in Huntsville. I think this is his first real "commercial" work. I don't think it'll be his last.

10 That ad was brilliant. I love it. Its showmanship. I bet Dale is going to be running for something bigger than agri commish in the near future.

Posted by: Matt at June 17, 2010 04:28 PM (MHK3Q)

11 Damn, I'm dealing with a bruised rib, and this made me laugh out loud.

Best.concession.ad.evah.

(Could we please replace Barky with this guy? Barky needs a "rest" in an institution. So does Joe.)

Oh NO! He fired a gun! Wait til the MFM paint us all as trigger happy tea baggers. This will cause us to lose in November. Take it back....take it back....nooooooo!!!

13 But he missed! It was a warning shot, less painful than one of my warning shots.

14 Campaign commercials with death threats!

What's not to love?

15 Death threats? What about just having your balls shot off threats?

Posted by: Jane D'oh at June 17, 2010 04:30 PM (UOM48)

16 I do love this guy! Epic Win!

17 LUV this guy... in a manly sort of way of course... LOL

18 Palin/Peterson in 2012!

Posted by: Trimegistus at June 17, 2010 04:34 PM (pNI9U)

19 Wish we could replace Barky with this guy stat. Finally, a guy with balls in the Oval since our wild-assed cowboy, W.

A girl can dream, right?

Posted by: Jane D'oh at June 17, 2010 04:34 PM (UOM48)

Finally. Something else to talk about.

Ryan / Peterson 2012

21 The leak might have still been ongoing or maybe not, but I'll bet W would have been on it hours after it happened.

oh yeah, can you imagine a meeting with Dale, and akmadinnerjacket??

And the media would have been all over his ass.

Posted by: huerfano at June 17, 2010 04:38 PM (rqC5o)

24 Love that commercial. WooHoo,

Posted by: PaleRider at June 17, 2010 04:39 PM (dkExz)

25 I'm not going to be on here much longer, because my freaking rib hurts (and my doc doesn't believe in pain meds. In a few months he won't matter anyway, because the owner of D'oh's business is going to cancel everyone's insurance.)

Anyhow, I love the concession speech, which is better +1,000 than anything we've heard from Barky.

I've also decided to lay off the news for the next few days. My ribs hurt, and I don't need a headache and anger on top of it.

Posted by: Jane D'oh at June 17, 2010 04:40 PM (UOM48)

26 Death threats? What about just having your balls shot off threats?

Speaking as a man, a life without balls IS death.

27 Take care of yourself Jane and come back with a flurry.

28 Vic, they were produced by a guy named Ehrlinger, a twenty-something right out of college here in Huntsville. I think this is his first real "commercial" work. I don't think it'll be his last.

Yeah, he does good shit.

Posted by: Vic at June 17, 2010 04:42 PM (6taRI)

29 'Nam,

kisses. (In the nicest possible way!)

Posted by: Jane D'oh at June 17, 2010 04:43 PM (UOM48)

30 29,

Aw shucks ma'am.

31 The leak might have still been ongoing or maybe not, but I'll bet W would have been on it hours after it happened.

Posted by: 'Nam Grunt at June 17, 2010 08:36 PM (aNTCR)

Well, that's 'cause W has actually SEEN an oil rig a time or two, so he knows what can happen.

Posted by: stuiec at June 17, 2010 04:47 PM (7AOgy)

32 I love this and laughed. Good stuff.

Posted by: Annabelle at June 17, 2010 04:48 PM (sJU8f)

33 Feel better soon Jane.

Actually, it'd be cheaper, I'll say that much.

39 Great ad.

Shooting in the air sucks.

Palin/Petersen 2012!

and, where do I apply for citizenship in the free, awesome and anti-socialist republic of Alabama?

Posted by: louis tully at June 17, 2010 10:10 PM (Vc/xe)

Louis, you may want to reconsider 'Bama until Dale gets everything cleaned up after he's elected governor. He called into Beck's show when he was running for the ag job and said that Alabama is FILTHY with corruption. Came as a shock to Beck and the audience, but Dale believes that AL is second only to New Orleans or Jersey (I'm sure forgetting Chicago was just an oversight!)

Posted by: RushBabe at June 17, 2010 06:49 PM (W8m8i)

43 My very young misguided liberal friend says Dale gives the south a bad name! Me thinks liberals give people a bad name.

Posted by: politicalmuse at June 17, 2010 07:03 PM (kLKnf)

44 Your blog really brought some things to light that I never would have thought about before reading it. You should continue this, Im sure most people would agree youve got a gift.

Posted by: acai max cleanse at June 17, 2010 08:46 PM (m8HQB)

I love this guy.

How about Christie/Brewer 2012. Make Peterson the UN Ambassador.

Oh man...

Posted by: blindside at June 17, 2010 08:53 PM (vT9Nl)

46 Awesome ad! I hope it causes all kinds of head explosions among the liberals.

Posted by: Taxpayer at June 17, 2010 08:57 PM (j6WfV)

47 Wow, shooting a rifle in the air? Hope nobody lives in that direction.

Posted by: floodmud at June 18, 2010 05:07 AM (+Uv5V)

Awesome commercial Dale. Whoo hoo!
