As an animator I like subtleties such as the one above. Notice how Earl’s path follows the outline of North Dakota’s border rather than crossing it! Interested parties may remember that you couldn’t find Earl Pomeroy anywhere near his constituents last year during the government health care takeover debate. Priceless.
The big deal about this video is actually the statistic that Earl Pomeroy, he of such “clout and seniority” on our behalf back in Washington, got only FOURTEEN contributors from North Dakota last reporting period. A more telling statistic I cannot find. I expect this sort of thing to hold true at the polls too, even if ACORN can get a bunch of college kids to vote twice (at home and at school) in November. Oh, and the video says that one of those fourteen was a Pomeroy.
I guess one doesn’t have to be a hapless liberal to write a catchy song about a North Dakota politician! Unlike the one targeting Dave Weiler, however, this one is true.
