Rand Paul's new attack ad on Ted Cruz is an inexplicably bizarre cartoon narrated (apparently) by the male and female voices of Siri. This ad is the manifestation of a promise Paul made after he found himself relegated to the so-called "undercard" debate last week thanks to a poor showing in national polls and decided to boycott. At the time, he told the masses in a statement, "[Rand] will not let the media decide the tiers of this race, and will instead take his message directly to the voters of New Hampshire and Iowa." Yesterday, America found out what that direct message would look like:
Somewhere, there's a Rand Paul speech writer who really appreciates the creative freedom he's getting from the campaign. Then there's everyone else, who are left wondering why this thing exists, and why the characters say "the" in front of every name?
"I hear good things about the Rand Paul... and his hair."
"Campaigning costs money, where does the Ted Cruz get his money?" Note: in the video, Cruz is pronounced "Cruhz," rhymes with scuzz.
If Rand Paul is secretly putting together a packet for South Park, hopefully he's got a few killer spec scripts to go along with this... thing.
