The RNC's latest attempt at cuteness, humor and political and social relevancy finds a James Bond-like depiction of the Speaker of the House (and, I might add, second in line for the presidency) not-too-subtly as Pussy Galore. And you have to love Pelosi in crosshairs, gunshots and blood dripping down the screen.
While the RNC ultimately decided to going with the hip-hop strategy of Michael Steele, they might have found (as the Dems are still wont to do) that depictions of women in politics might be less ham-handed if they had more women in their reporting structure - especially the marketing and ad departments.
As the Republicans try to gain back some traction in 2010, they'll have to hope that Republican, center-leaning Dems and Independent women hate Pelosi more than they hate sexist and violent images against women. Hell, PUMA may even have a hard time parsing this one.
