Keith Ellison (D, MN) lets out his inner Bluto Blutarsky.

I would like to note for the record: EVERY PERSON WHO DOES POLITICAL VIDEOS lives for this day. The day that a sitting politician announces in public that the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Which is what Rep. Ellison did.



It was a lonely vigil, to be sure: but we had faith.  Faith that somebody, somewhere, currently in power would slip up and allow us to at last spotlight what has been one of the classic theoretical oopsies in political punditry.  We have long waited for a politician to be dumb enough to claim that the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor, and finally – Finally!  – Rep. Ellison comes through for us.  I am almost proud of the man for his sacrifice.

But not quite.

Joel Demos (R CAND, MN-05).

This is one of those memorable campaign ads. To set up: Joel Demos is the only Republican candidate in the MN-05 primary next week, which means that he’s going to be the Republican nominee to face off against Keith Ellison. And, trust me: Joel is fully aware of what that means.

Actually, you don’t have to trust me. You just have to watch his own campaign video.

I was hoping for an interview today, but Joel works for a living. Check again next week.

PS: Yes, you may safely assume that Joel could use whatever you can spare.
