Breaking: Script for new DeVos attack ad found in Grand Rapids!

The MDP reports that Dick DeVos has dropped a cool million on the two new attacks ads that debuted last week. After complaints arose that the "man on the street" ad was not specific enough, a source inside the DeVos campaign leaked a rough draft of a new attack ad that goes into more detail. Although the actors have not been lined up yet, rumor has it that pre-production has begun on a sound stage at Alticor somewhere in the city of Grand Rapids.

Voice:

Woman: "When Jennifer Granholm took office, I thought she said she would buy us all a pony. Now, 3 ½ years later, still no pony. My child has to ride the dog around the yard".

Couple No. 1: "We were real disappointed that Jennifer Granholm didn't come over and repaint the house. What good is a public servant if they don't actually, you know, serve? And the weeds are getting kind of high, too."

Man No. 1: "I had to sell off my wife's speed boat just to pay off the mortgage on the lakefront cottage, and now I can't buy my second Ducati. Jennifer Granholm is obviously trying to put me out on the street."

Man no. 2: "I was told that Governor Granholm could sing and dance, and was going to write the great American novel. I still haven't seen a DVD and the bookstore doesn't have a release date. And what about that world hunger thing?"

Couple No. 2: "Weren't there supposed to be miracles? We were promised miracles. Jennifer Granholm can't even walk on water. What good is a Governor that can't walk on water? And Michigan still has too much snow."

Closing graphics:

Jennifer Granholm.

No ponies. Can't control the weather. And she won't paint your house, either.

This has been a test of the Emergency Snark Response System. Had this been an actual snark emergency, you would have been instructed to tune to your local TV station where you would see the actual "man on the street" commercial running every 15 minutes until you realize that this guy is jerking your emotions and you should start making fun of him like I do.
