| Palin At Bat for Cruz in Houston
Today, crazy less-than-one-term former governor Sarah Palin will be in Texas to support her chosen runoff candidate Ted Cruz. The two will appear together at an event in The Woodlands, where they will be joined by Republican Senator Jim DeMint.
Is Dewhurst Gay-Bashing Cruz?
Seems that way from Dew's web ad "Timeline." The (honestly brilliant) ad takes us through Cruz's Facebook Timeline, starting with his birth in Calgary, Canada. It highlights his years at Princeton and Harvard - and later years in Washington D.C. During the Harvard segment, the ad shows a picture of Dewhurst in the "Harvard Hijinks" - with "YMCA" playing the background. Though reading about it makes it seem like an insignificant moment, watching the video proves that the "gay" association is inevitable.
Austinist gets it exactly right:
The commercial then moves to his college timeline where we learn that he went to Harvard and Yale, a twofer of effete Ivy League insiderdom that smacks of questionable acts of book learnin' and clearly explains the commercial's next image, highlighted by the double take of record scratch. We cut to an image of a young Cruz photographed with a few shirtless men. "YMCA" plays in the background in place of the villany string section, presumably to help the viewer who hadn't yet done the math of Canadian + Ivy League = homosexual.
Dewhurst has also been slamming Cruz for his biggest donor: Peter Thiel. You know, the GAY man who's the GAY founder of PayPal who, by the way, is GAY. |
