Truly Mockworthy!

Kigore's newest ad would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic. As Waldo, over at Waldo Jaquith.org noted, this bobble-head doll ad is par for a guy who injected decoder rings into the campaign nomenclature.

So, here we are with citizens who don't know what Jerry Kilgore proposes for the Commonwealth (because he really isn't into telling them). Instead, he poses for a few seconds, does a few very short, well-rehearsed voice-overs, hides from televised debates, and, most recently, tries to weasel out of Sunday's debate. Bobble head dolls, name calling, lying about the Lt. Governor's record. That's child's play. Having fun, even silliness on blogs, is one thing. [Disclaimer: I know. I've been known to wax Seussian --as in Dr. Seuss --when someone like Del. Albo or Sideshow Bob (Del. Bob Marshall) strikes again.}

However, selling voters short with deceptive creations like this is another matter altogether. It demeans voters and our state. It's long past time for Jerry-the-Duck to stop hiding and be honest with Virginians. It's hard to deny: Kilgore as candidate for governor is truly mockworthy. And he's toying with Virginia's future.
