Democratic Super PAC Takes Romney’s French WAY Out Of Context

A newly incorporated Democratic Super PAC, American LP, is out with what may be the funniest ad of the primaries. The spot features Mitt Romney discussing the Olympics in French, but flashes a subtitled “translation” consisting of old Romney quotes from his days as a pro-choice, moderate Republican in Massachusetts. The effect is reminiscent of Woody Allen’s ‘What’s Up, Tiger Lily?’

American LP is the brainchild of Democratic consultant TJ Walker, who told iWatch News that he plans on using his new organization to produce ads that are “more hard hitting and more humorous than what a typical candidate or party can do.”
