Gail Collins is soooo hot

I love Gail Collin’s sense of humor. She manages to be hilarious while being insightful, which makes her a very attractive woman in my eyes. Here she is on Elizabeth Dole’s scurrilous campaign ad:

North Carolina tossed Elizabeth Dole out of office despite her ad campaign aimed at convincing the state that her opponent, Kay Hagan, was an atheist. This was accomplished, you may remember, through the creative strategy of showing Hagan’s picture along with another woman’s voice saying: “There is no God!” If Dole had won, by the next election we would have been bombarded with ads that appeared to show candidates saying “I support adultery!” or “Let’s kill the puppies!” Now that won’t happen. Thank you, North Carolina.

More hilarity can be found here.

And in case you missed it, here’s the ad. Watch it now before Dole uses the DMCA to have it pulled from YouTube.

Hagan, Dole’s opponent, is an elder in her church and a Sunday school teacher. Dole knew this, of course, which makes her ad all the more slimy. The bigger question of whether it should matter whether someone is an atheist tends to be eclipsed by the fact that Dole brazenly lied about Hagan’s religious beliefs. Hagan is suing. Good.
