GOP Plan To Scare Voters By Crying Wolf Is A Howler

The impact of the GOP's big, anticipated "Wolf" ad, premiering today (and viewable at the Bush-Cheney site), apparently is turning out to be less of a bang than a whimper. First, the audience at CNN's Crossfire, when it was shown to them, reportedly laughed at it. Second, it lends itself to too many unfortunate metaphors ("Boy King again cries wolf," anyone?). Third -- and I hope Kerry mentions this about every 30 seconds or so, in the next eleven days -- no human being has ever been killed by a wolf in the continental United States -- ever.



And lastly -- aren't those wolf puppies just too cuuuute?
