The Republican National Committee has launched an ad campaign that’s sort of a drive-by attack on Pres. Obama. According to CNN’s Political Ticker, “The 30-second spot will air nationally on cable television, notably in battleground states, throughout the month. It uses a crashing car metaphor to make the case for a Republican president in 2012.”
To be fair, it also uses a crashing train metaphor.
The CNN post dutifully records a pair of party apparatchiks dispensing the usual eyewash.
Republican eyewash:
“Republicans have already changed the conversation in Washington, but with the President unwilling to remove the country from its unsustainable course, it’s time to change direction,” [RNC Chairman Reince] Priebus said in a statement.
Democratic eyewash:
“While the President continues to fight to clean up an economic mess that was years in the making, Republicans would rather run negative ads than offer positive ideas,” [DNC communications director Brad] Woodhouse said in a statement.
Your backwash goes here.

Alas, I find the Republican eyewash far more believable than the Democratic eyewash. They have indeed changed the conversation in Washington. And I have yet to see Obama fight for much of anything.
To each his own eyewash, eh, Brendan?
Heh. Indeed, though in this instance, I think objective reality favors one. Not saying I like it. But there it is.
Seeing as though both parties have cornered the hogwash market, backwash seems to be all that is left!
Yeah, Mudge – when you’ve got backwash, make . . . I don’t know what.
