I'm almost finished with a paper for EJ Dionne about the way the establishment media covers Presidential campaigns, so I'm a little bit sensitive to the use of political communications as entertainment rather than an informative discussion of policy. Add to that the fact that I have heard the stupid Chuck Norris jokes about a thousand times, and Mike Huckabee's delivery falls very flat. Altogether, I found this youtube video a little bit unsettling and highly annoying.
Silver Lining: At least the commercial contains a message about some policy, rather than simply an attack on the other candidates.
(I saw the video on The Debatable Land, source of Oneupmanship)
