And THIS Is The Guy Who's Probably Going To Be The Candidate

Yesterday, Mittens was asked about immigration reform. Among the things he said:"You don't have a way of telling, if someone comes and they speak with an accent do you say, well, are you here legally or illegally?"
Somehow, I bet he doesn't wonder if someone's here illegally if they have a Boston accent. Or a Brooklyn accent. Or an Italian accent

The opposition ad practically writes itself. Start off with the clip of Mittens talking about "accents." Cut to a Joisey person saying, "This is an American accent." Cut to a North Texan (for maximum nasal twang) saying, "This is an American accent." Cut to a Tidewater Virginian saying, "This is an American accent." Cut to a Gullah saying, "This is an American accent."

Repeat as necessary. Heck, consider throwing in a group shot of newly sworn-in citizens saying, "Our accents are now American."

It was done in A Matter of Life and Death/Stairway to Heaven back in 1946.

Some things don't change.

DEFINITELY that last bit. In fact, that should be the final shot in the sequence.
