Why Democrats Should Be Like Kevin Nealon on SNL

Thu Feb 24, 2005 at 06:36:43 PM PDT

To win, Democrats must tell a good, simple story for each candidate and campaign. Every website page, every campaign handout, every press release must tell our story simply and clearly. We do not excel at this (yet). The Dark Side does (bastards).

Kevin Nealon's Mr. Subliminal from Saturday Night Live shows us how. Kevin (balding) appeared on the SNL Weekend Update and dropped in low-voiced frames (funny) after each news item. Like this (made-up quote):  

"President Reagan (old guy) visited with Prime Minister Thatcher (scary) for nearly three hours, leading some observers (tabloids) to comment on their enduring friendship (hot affair.)"

Um (grossed myself out), anyway (ewww), Subliminal Man was funny! Read a real subliminal transcript.  

And Democrats should be more like him.
