The Terrible Twos

Would this really be America if at least one of these campaign ads didn't go for a poop joke? You needn't worry, because South Dakota Representative Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin goes there in this peach of an ad. Her son Zachary, the Democrat explains, can give you a pretty good idea of "what it's like in Congress." "First they like to eat," she says as her son stuffs his face with spaghetti, and "we know what that leads to!" (Cue potty-training toilet.) Though the mixed metaphors are confusing and it seems like the whole thing could turn into an ad for laundry detergent at any given moment, the commercial does get across what has been a popular message this season: our elected Representatives have a case of the terrible twos.
