VIDEO: Best Ad Ever Produced for Agriculture Commissioner

Posted on | May 16, 2010 | 90 Comments

Ag Commissioner? Who ever heard of a great ad for Ag Commissioner? Welcome to Alabama, son! And say hello to Dale Peterson:

The Winchester sort of makes it, huh?

UPDATE: Adrien Chen at Gawker can’t bring himself to give me a hat-tip for being the first to blog about “The Most American Thing Ever Made,” but I’ll count this as one more uncredited mitzvah for the Clown Prince of the Right-Wing Blogosphere.

UPDATE II: I’ll get re-Tweeted by Alyssa Milano before I ever get so much as a hat-tip from Allahpundit. He’s like the Red Baron to my Snoopy, y’know?

UPDATE III: OK, Peterson’s got the Conservative Lesbian vote. Now all he needs is to be denounced by Rachel Maddow and he’ll catapult to stardom — winning me a case of Coronas in the process. (Politics is a lot more interesting when you’ve got bets riding on the outcome.)

By the way, here’s how I got aced out of full credit for my role in this viral phenomenon: Independent film producer Ladd Ehlinger Jr. e-mailed it to me, I blogged it at 11:08 EDT and Tweeted it:

@DaveWeigel VIDEO: Best Ad Ever Produced for Agriculture Commissioner: http://bit.ly/cBPloZ [] @FilmLadd is Alabama’s John Ford!

Ladd then re-Tweeted, which must have been how Chen picked it up for Gawker, then via RSS to Allahpundit, etc., etc.

Although I don’t do the atavistic blood-vengeance enemies-list thing — it’s too much hassle to keep track of all the people who’ve screwed me over — I must occasionally point out how I get screwed over, just so that my peers in the Chopped-Liver-Sphere know that they’re not alone.

Solidarity is very important in the Legion of the Doomed. Otherwise, we might become even more demoralized than we already are.

UPDATE IV: Weasel Zippers gives me no linky-love. Jim Hoft and Erick Erickson give me none either, but there’s a Memeorandum thread now, and I’m linked by The Lonely Conservative, Mind Numbed Robot and Bob Belvedere at Camp of the Saints. Welcome to the Legion of the Doomed.

Now, we just need, oh, a few million more of him to run for offices across the nation… If there is an argument for cloning, it’s to make more conservatives so we can take back this country.
