Cruella De Vil: Any way you want. Poison them, drown them, bash them on the head. Got any chloroform? I don’t care how you kill the little beasts. Just do it, and do it NOW!
Get me those puppies!
Sorry, it was just too easy. Quinn is getting a lot of press making fun of the ad and while I tend to have a far more complicated view of animal rights (I don’t see why we can’t slaughter horses if we slaughter hogs) it’s a legitimate issue. Just because it sounds like a parody doesn’t mean it’s not a valid issue. Is it as clear cut as Quinn makes it in the ad? No, but it’s also not the first political campaign ad to be a bit sensationalistic.
That said, it’s not my fault the Republicans didn’t nominate Kirk Dillard.
I am interested to see how Brady is going to respond to this. Most of the ways I’ve imagined it so far don’t do much good. Imagine, “I only want to allow dogs to be gassed when…”
UPDATE: Aaron has a slightly different take–I’m not sure the pure emotional strategy isn’t the best, but he has some good points about this being an example of responding to the wishes of an individual constituent.

Still think it is a missed opportunity. Hope there is something better coming from the campaign.
