There's a video making it's way through the blogosphere showcasing Ohio's Lieutenant Governor as a man who won't sleep until he's sure his message is getting out -- and this message shows off more than just political will.
On one hand, I'm not sure this is the kind of message a sitting government official really wants to get out; on the other hand, it is slice of life -- kind of -- just like the photos of the hunky Senator Obama in the Hawaiian surf in early 2008.
Couple thoughts here before things get too weird:
- I first saw this version of the video on Gateway Pundit, a political website with a conservative skew. If the intention of the video maker and campaign is to show Senator-to-be Lee Fisher in a rare moment of candor, they might want to consider the viral nature of where voters will see this;
- Don't know about you, but this kind of stuff hit it's apex with those creepy laughing-during-the-affair plane interviews then-presidential candidate John Edwards did with the film producer, the one he was caught cheating with. This one's a bit creepy, too, especially with the music in the background;
- Is that Jackson Browne singing in the background? Too bad there are no candles to help set the mood even further...
- Note to ALL political campaigns: DO NOT SHOW YOUR CANDIDATE HALF NAKED. Does anyone really think we don't keep this image in our minds when your hero steps to the microphone during a debate to discuss global warming? Not the most flattering photo when we're looking to leadership rebuilding a shattered economy.
Finally -- gotta admit, Lee's in good shape.

Is this from his son's documentary?
ReplyDeletePerhaps that explains the level of comfort here.
Other than that ... creepy!
