Reviews are in on that sensational Daily Kos/Ned Lamont ad:
* Running Scared: “Is KOS trying to sink Ned Lamont’s chances in Conn.?”
* Jim Geraghty: “It seems to me to be a form of a Public Service Announcement, warning that if you run against a hawkish Democrat, Markos Moulitsas and his Daily Kos band will break into your house and surround you with a creepy, not-quite-right enthusiasm.”
* Blue Crab Boulevard: “This is beyond lame. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond.”
* Baseball Crank: “The effect is much the same as if in 1998 a Republican candidate had put Matt Drudge in a TV commercial.”
* Academic Elephant: “If you are familiar with the political blog-o-sphere and know who Markos Moulitsas is, this will make you sick with laughter.”
* Mr. Atoz: “If this is the direction the Democrats are taking this fall then we know two things: Kos’ endorsement is the kiss of death, and the Republican stranglehold on Congress will last for a thousand years.”
* Jeff Goldstein: “By ad’s end, you’re holding your breath, hoping against hope you’re not about to see Moulitsas thrust his tongue down a slightly confused Connecticut Senate hopeful Ned Lamont’s throat.”
* Justin Gardner: “Pretty damn cheesy.”
* The Democratic Daily: “Conservative bloggers are having lots of fun with this. I can’t say I blame them this time.”
* Those Bastards: “There’s a reason why most of us blog and don’t try to get on television—we don’t belong there.”
- This should effectively end Kos’s career. I mean, who knew that he looks like Adam Sandler’s ugly brother?Posted by paco on 2006 05 19 at 06:09 PM • permalink
- With the heart-stopping impact of sudden horrified, but amused, realization, I now know why that ad creeped me out so much. Markos Moulitsas reminds me of M. Night Shymalan in his American Express commercial.
- it’s hilarious – ned himself looks a bit like a badly photoshopped cross between my favourite martian & a prissy librarian, & the gender & race balanced crew of yoof are on some drug i’d like not to try any time soon. the underdog ad is hysterical too. these make our lame aussie political ads look honest

Saw Kos on The Colbert Report. He reminded me of a fey, dissolute Roman boy-emporer.
I think that effect is intentional.

- David Weigal at Hit & Run called it a homage to a classic Twisted Sister Video.
- Hmmmm.
Saw Kos on The Colbert Report. He reminded me of a fey, dissolute Roman boy-emporer.
Actually he reminded of that guy in the movie Heavy Metal:
“She dies, he dies … everybody dies.”
