Sexually suggestive ad attacks Fisher
A Republican attack ad uses double entendres, smarmy lounge music and a screen shot of a shirtless Lee Fisher to give the impression that the Democrat is pleasuring himself.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee released the 53-second ad on YouTube and its own website on Thursday, May 6. It uses a screen shot of Fisher, shirtless with one hand on his chest and the other hidden below his waist, and says “he didn’t get the job done” and “he was more concerned about his job than yours.”
Amber Marchand, spokeswoman for the NRSC, insists that the video is not sexually suggestive.
“The video is about jobs. The video is about Lee Fisher’s record as the job czar and the 400,000 jobs that have been lost on his watch,” she said.
Fisher, who is lieutenant governor and the Democratic Party’s candidate for U.S. Senate, served as economic development director in the Strickland administration.

When asked whether NRSC has permission to use the screen shot and other video in the ad, Marchand said they haven’t received any complaints.

You ‘little people’ of the NRSC qualify for Bill O’Reilly’s ‘PIN HEAD’ award. You’re an embarrasment to the old time Republican Party.
