I'll leave it to Dr. Merten to comment on the content of Vote No!'s brand spankin' new ad, which the pro-hotel campaign just posted to the series of tubes interconnected to each other, and instead just let you watch as God and Tom Leppert intended. Because it's mighty meta and awfully entertaining. And I think the mayor just came up with a new dance move.
The more I see of this guy, the more I truly despise him. He's like a parody of the evil, lying politician who acts all warm and cuddly.
How many people are going to walk into that voting booth and think that by voting "No" they are voting against this ridiculous hotel idea? Or how many won't people won't show up at all because they don't understand the language?
What a bunch of bait-and-switch bullshit.
"Student of History says:
What was the estimated "Economic Impact" from the King Tut exhibit? Wasn't it supposed to be somewhere around $4 or $5 million?"
Not after they had to lower the ticket prices since no one would pay $70 for an exhibit that sucked so badly.
Fuck a bunch of Mayor Tom.
"This election isn't about a hotel."

Wow. That's exactly what it's about. He's not even trying to spin, he's just waving his hands around, and lying as he talks.
Leppert must think he's a magician.

Really bad teleprompter eyes. Watch him again. Looks like he's reading it on a post card held by a midget with a bad case of the shakes.

Come on Jim, Lakewooder has every right to make a living like the rest of us. If I had my choice of any midget it would be him. He's the best in the biz, that's why he can afford to rent an over priced duplex one block from the Char Bar.
Tom also has that odd and rare characteristic, Skinnyfat. He looks to be a thin framed fellow, but his waist is nearly as broad as his shoulders.
He should be a bean pole but looks like he's much more filled out than that, or maybe it's just the camera angle.
The music brings a tear to the eye

@Larry: Shh! Don't give them any ideas. Let them keep putting him out there with his freakishly light-colored eyes, off-putting smarminess and manic "jazz hands" gesturing.
This campaign is NOT about a hotel. Its about uniformed people who wear khaki pants with azure blue shirts and the ability to control the world like an ipod with hand gestures. Its not really going to be a hotel its going to be a training base for the upcoming Ipod War lead by General Leppert and his amazing hands...............
The pro-hotel people had better get a clue and quit using Lie-pert to be their shill. It's not working.
I just figured out that his freakishly light-colored eyes are part of what bothers me about his face. Some dark-colored contacts might make me trust him more.
Then again, they might not.
Has anyone noticed that the guys on the anti-hotel ads look disturbingly like Leppert? The first one really did. The second just somewhat.
Do you think that's on purpose? Some sorta subliminal mind game?
Ugh... what a schmuck...
This part was edited out of the commercial:
"One other thing I probably should tell you because if we don't they'll probably be saying this about me too, we did get something-a gift-after the election. A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was.
It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate that he'd sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl-Tricia, the 6-year old-named it Checkers. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it. "
Two Words...
"Wide Stance"
I'm ignorant, is this about the hotel? Vote no to what? Does Dallas have to revert to skewing the voting language into dog meat so only PhD candidates who have lots of time can understand it. Well, I still can't
Damn someone beat me to that.... But it's true.
I'm pretty sure if you make a comemrical that says you can be trusted, you can't be trusted.
@bacon: Well, he's right. This election <i>isn't</i> about a hotel. It's about the God-given right of the City of Dallas to do whatever it deems necessary without pesky interference from "citizens" who think they know better.
<i>This election isn't about a hotel.</i>
And he's wondering why people don't trust him?
Jack-
Get off my man! You can't have him, HE'S ALL MINE!!!!
Those hands haunt my dreams.
