WOLVES ARE JUST BIG DOGS

Crossfire just aired the new Republican "wolves" ad, and as it ended you could hear the audience laughing. Substitute right-wing host Joe Watkins was aghast because he thought it was powerful! Paul Begala just broke up and kept yelling, "Puppies, Joe! They were puppies! Oooooooo!"

That's EXACTLY the right reaction, mockery. And in fact, the wolves DO look pretty cute. Our youngest daughter used to collect stuffed wolves when she was a young'un, so we tend to view them benignly.

UPDATE: The wolfpack is speaking out. See Wolfpacks For Truth.
