发帖数: 29846 | 1 Poor ‘Senior’ in Dem Ad Bashing George Allen is Actually Democrat Trial
Lawyer

How sloppy. Can’t they just pay someone to read the talking points instead
of one of their own donors?
An elderly man in a widely seen Democratic TV ad who assails Virginia
Senate candidate George Allen for backing partial privatization of Social
Security, possibly threatening his fixed income, is a prominent Democratic
trial lawyer known for defending former Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke in
his legal tussles with flamboyant former wife Suzanne Cooke.
In the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ad blanketing Virginia,
Edwin Williams is portrayed as a home-bound retiree on fixed income. “I
count on Social Security and and I don’t want Washington politicians like
George Allen privatizing it,” says the still active lawyer.
The ad does not further identify Williams, other than show his Social
Security benefit papers and the street number on his McLean mailbox on leafy
Swinks Mill Road populated with million-dollar brick colonials. His home is
assessed at over $987,000. The text of the ad simply calls Williams, “
senior.”
The ad has been a blockbuster hit against Allen who is tied or slightly
trailing in polls against Democrat Tim Kaine.
A blockbuster hit that’s on YouTube for nearly a month and just now people
are noticing? |
