Despite being an evil Republican, I suppose I voted mostly like a Democrat on the California state propositions and Los Angeles city measures today… But I’m a Republican mostly because I’m a neocon (there, I said it!) foreign policy hawk, not a traditional values conservative. And unlike the left, the right doesn’t peevishly evict you if you fail to toe even one section of the party line.

According to Pajamas Medias’ Washington Editor Richard Miniter, Democratic senatorial candidate from Maryland Benjamin Cardin has been playing fast and loose with the “fine art” of political advertising. A supposedly verité Cardin commercial purporting to show “average Joes and Janes” across his state supporting the Cardin candidacy is actually populated by his own campaign workers playing roles. (Note to campaign workers: sign a Screen Actors Guild contract and you will get residuals.)

Celebrated Hollywood producer David Zucker blames the Drudge Report for leaking the GOP resistance to his groundbreaking political ad. A leak that put the kibbosh on the party running his ad in prime time. In this exclusive podcast interview, Zucker tell PajamasMedia Roger Simon, “Drudge is the culprit and I’ve written him an angry letter…. So I’ve handled it.”

Zucker, producer of comedy classics like “Airplane,” created the now infamous ad with co-producer Myrna Sokoloff who also participates in the podcast. As it turns out, and thanks in no small part to Drudge, this “ad you will never see” has been seen by millions at YouTube, with millions more at the door. How did it get made? Well, the GOP actually asked for it. “Then we mailed it in,” said Zucker, “and they just sort of gulped.” Sokoloff agrees but notes that at one and a half minutes, “This is the director’s cut.” Zucker then reveals that there is a second ad concerning taxes: “The premise is ‘What if you could wake up a year from today and you could see your new tax bill if the Democrats get into power.’” Well, we could wait forever to see that bill, but not the Zucker take on it.
