LOL GOP video: How not to appear cool

An unintentionally funny video of the GOP’s noble efforts to fight the Waxman-Markey climate change bill has got to cheer the bill’s supports. As Grist’s Kate Sheppard says:

Now the House Republican Conference has produced a “greatest hits” reel on their travels (and if these were the highlights, we’d hate to see the lowlights).  With melodramatic music and stiffs in suits, we think it could be the comedy sleeper hit of the summer.

I’m actually most fond of the red arrows that leap across the map from city to city, as if we’re in 1940s espionage drama.

Seriously: this can’t be for real. Did some congressmen con his colleagues to give the contract to make the video to his out-of-work grandpa?

  2. This is really strong. The GOP is clearly making strides in new media. This video understands young GOP voters like no other political video I’ve seen. They should really keep up the good work – just keep doing exactly what they’re doing here. Because clearly they are on the right track.

  4. You’re right. This is an extremely promising development for democracy.
