On Hardball tonight, they debated the new daisy ad. Christopher Hitchens was nearly sick in his condemnation of it as lame and incoherent. If you want to do a derivative ad, there's a better one to use. Stupid ad, I don't even know what they're selling, but it's the ad where the little girl asks "Daddy, will you call me?" Then it goes into into the song of "Wherever you go, I will be with you, until the end of time." Her daddy takes off into a world of airplanes and newspapers and racecars, then finally he calls. "Daddy!"

What if daddy never calls? There's your anti-war ad.
