MUST-SEE TV: New David Wu Ad - Wu Bungee Jumps

Mari Margil

Congressman Wu's new ad is not to be missed!

In his own words, "Privatizing Social Security is about as risky as…well … jumping off a bridge. That’s why I’ll never vote for it in Congress." And then he off he goes! View the ad here.

    The ad just aired on KATU as I was going to look at it on the website. Excellent. David has always had very creative ads.

    Goli Ameri was out in Vernonia today. I was out there for work and heard all the right-wingers in the local diner talking about her impending visit then passed her on my way out of town. I coulda swerved, but.... nah. David will beat her without my help - well, without that kinda help. ;-)

    That was a hoot! Clever and gets the message across.

    Cute ad, engaging personality, and privatizing social security really is dangerous... people will die because of the resulting poverty and income differentials, but what's risky about bungy jumping?!

    He's making exactly the opposite of his intended point, isn't he?

    Bungy jumping is frightening, but extremely safe.

    Social security privatization seems reasonable if you haven't studied it, but in fact is frighteningly dangerous for anyone who is planning to live a long life.

    I don't get it.

    To me the ad, like David, is annoying.

    But Ameri is more annoying.

    Miles,

    Um, the ad was about jumping off a bridge. He said jumping off a bridge was risky. Not that bungee jumping is risky.

    Wow, you really need to lighten up. Try decaf maybe?
