Remember in “28 Days Later,” when the dude was wandering around a completely empty London? Well, apparently that was a good thing.
Get it? Because all those fatcats ran away. Down with capitalism!
Well, unless you’re renting women by the hour. Then capitalism is awesome. It’s okay to create jobs, as long as they involve Eliot Spitzer’s genitals.
As Seth Mandel at Commentary notes, this ad is “predicated on the belief that New Yorkers would vote for someone who promises to bring the city to financial ruin… An empty financial district and taxpayers fleeing the city is a scene that leaves Spitzer grinning like a madman.”
Well, yeah. Occupy Wall Street! Vote for Spitzer!
Update: Reportedly, Spitzer’s wife says she’s finally going to divorce him. After the election. She seems like a nice lady, and lord knows this is long overdue, but… is it really going to make a difference one way or another? Before, after, whatever. Anybody who’s actually thinking about voting for him is hardly going to be put off by this.
