Goodness Gracious Sakes Alive! Will wonders never cease!
An attractive young woman is running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona. A recent news cycle played her campaign ad over and over. It’s great.
It opens with her dressed in tight Levi jeans, Stetson rakishly shading her eyes from the Sonora desert sun. She blasts away with a Thomson submachine gun.
A Tommy gun! Shades of the good old days of Chicago politics. Al Capone and Elliot Ness blasting away at each other in the streets so the good citizens of the city could enjoy lively jazz bands and cocktails in their local speakeasy.
Next she switches to a long barrel Colt 45 Peacemaker. She carefully sights and fires off several rounds.
Ah yes happy childhood games of Cowboys and Indians. Our heroes were Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday at the OK Corral making the village safe for god fearing folks to enjoy the camaraderie and faro games in the local saloon. Their quick draw 45’s took care of the bad guys – both Indians and Rustlers.
The commercial closes with her steady hand holding what looks like a Gluck 9mm automatic on target. She rapidly fires off the entire clip. A modern gun for today’s bad guys!
We get the point. She can hit all her targets.
If indeed she beats McCain in the fall election and takes over his U. S. Senate seat, just think how lively their sessions could be.
I’m much too young to have ever seen Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. I understand Annie Oakley was a star attraction. This young woman could hit any target with her trusty repeating rifle. Large crowds of people all over the world paid hard cash to see her shoot.
Maybe if this young woman shooter from Arizona wins, the Senate could charge admission for seats in the Public Gallery. This could help offset the debt incurred by the off budget warfighter appropriation bills that usually pass 99 to 1.
