The Bush 9/11 Campaign Ads
This would be the kiss of death for any candidate who ran it but I'd still like to see it as an answer to Bush's ads using the fallen towers and flag-drapped body.

The filmed sequency of the second plane hitting the tower - with the words printed large at the top of the screen "On Bush's Watch".

1. It'll never happen
The most powerful ad in American History would be a simple split screen video of what was happening in NYC and what was happening at Booker Elementary School at the same time.

We'll never see that on network television.

2. No, but
you can see that split screen video here:

It's quite powerful to see the side by side sequence of events that day. It's really a must see.

Then when you have time, check this out:

You have to scroll down past the link titles to get to the timeline.

4. Very effective and powerful
thanks for the url. I wonder (though i know the answer) whether any tv station of any importance will play this? Sigh - nice dream.
The man and is cohorts ane f.....g criminals on the same level as the nuremberg defendants as far as im concerned - just on a smaller scale since the moment isnt ripe yet for larger devastation.

3. There is an acceptable way to do it
As you suggested: Split Screen

On one side a clock; on the other Bush sitting at the elementary school.

Script beneath: Time: X:XX First plane hits trade center
Time : X:xx Second plane hits trade center
etc., etc showing Bush's inaction during the time of crisis.....no pics of the center, just the clock and dubya........

6. why isnt this being looked into.. REALLY looked into?
This is a much bigger deal for a president than whitewater or Monica Lewinsky, but the witch hunt went on forever over those topics. This one, nearly silence. Oh, there is finally some committee looking at stuff now, but with a deadline of next year to give any info. Very convenient.
