Former Sen. Bob Kerrey is widely expected to lose his comeback bid in Nebraska. But he’s brought out an interesting Web video on Friday: With an endorsement and comedy sketch by Steve Martin.
Kerrey retired from the seat in 2000, then served during the 2000’s as a college president at the New School in New York City, before returning to Nebraska to run again after Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson announced his retirement.
In the new video, Martin does a deadpan send-up of home repair TV shows, to “build” a wad of paper with chewed gum inside it. And along the way, another person’s hand holds up messages on cards to support Kerrey, such as: “He is sane. And his ideas are workable.”
