Too much truth in one place

You’ve got to see this video. It’s created by David Zucker, the producer/director of “Airplane”, “The Naked Gun” and “Scary Movie 4” with the intention of allowing the GOP to use it in campaigns. Zucker, a longtime Democrat, voted Republican in 2004 based on concerns he had about national security.

One GOP strategist said "jaws dropped" when the ad was first viewed. "Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top."

The comedy is polished, and the point it makes is rock solid. It's too bad this is so politically hot that it can't be used, so I'm doing my part to make sure people can see it. Hopefully it will stay up for a while. I’ve created a transcript of the video in case it’s taken down. Please email people to the link below instead of just forwarding this message.

Announcer: In the year 2000, in an effort to stop the North Koreans from building nuclear weapons, President Clinton’s Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright [“Pyongyang - North Korea” Pan in on North Korean state building (?)] gave North Korean leader Kim Jong Il a basketball signed by Michael Jordan. [“October 25, 2000”, MA presenting basketball to KJI, clinking glasses for cameras. “We’re not making this up”]

A: The Democrats’ thoughtful gift had two major results. This first was this. [Rocket launch] And the second was this. [KJI playing basketball]

A: In a post-9/11 world, [U.S. Embassy - Tanzania] making nice to our enemies [U.S.S. Cole - Yemen] will not make them nice to us.

A: On the contrary, to them it is a sign of weakness. [MA serving cookies and singing Kum Ba Yah in the house while terrorists run from the basement. Singing continues to end.]

A: The Democrats have their own ideas on how to stop North Korea from building nuclear weapons. [“North Korean Nuclear Weapons Lab”, MA mowing the lawn]

A: Some people think the terrorists will change their ways if only show our good intentions. No matter what we do, the fact remains there is evil in the world. [“Afghanistan”, cave interior, MA painting cave wall while Osama Bin Laden lookalike holding gun makes a video.]

OBL: You missed a spot

A: History has taught us that evil needs to be confronted, not appeased. Evil dictators will be evil dictators, no matter what we do. [MA changes the tire on a Middle Eastern dictator’s limousine.]

Dictator: “Place the bomb in the cargo hold.” [points at watch]

A: Unlike basketball... [KJI coming off the bench at a basketball game]

MA: “Go get 'em you animal”

A: ...the security of the United States is not a game. [MA waving pom poms, fans holding signs reading “go great leader”. KJI comes up from fall with an automatic rifle.]

A: Can we afford a party that treats it like one? [Gunshots, crowd runs, zoom on scared MA staring into camera, fade to black]
