“Tea Party candidate Rob Maness wrestles an alligator in his first ads of the Louisiana Senate race, pledging to ‘stand up to the career politicians — and the alligators.’
“The former Air Force colonel, one of three Republicans challenging Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) this cycle, launched radio and television ads on Thursday that feature the wily reptiles that populate the Louisiana swamps.
“‘Here in Louisiana you learn to be tough,’ Maness declares in the television ad, as alligators bare their teeth. ‘One moment of weakness and the alligators could eat you alive.’
“Maness pledges to ‘stand up to the big spenders,’ push for ObamaCare repeal and protect gun rights, each punctuated by an alligator chomp. The ad closes with Maness taping an alligator’s mouth shut as he tells the audience he approved the message ‘”because Louisiana needs a senator that’s going to stand up to the career politicians — and the alligators.'”
In this clip Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks points out how Maness may not be QUITE AS manly as he pretends to be in fending off deadly alligators.
