Washington, DC--A diverse coalition of bears took exception today to a new
campaign ad unveiled by Senator Joe Lieberman.
Speaking at a press conference hastily convened at the National Press Building this afternoon, bears from a variety of backgrounds and political leanings put their differences aside to strongly condemn the ad. ""Only Joe Lieberman could've brought together ultra-conservative bears like the Suger Bear and gay activists like the Care Bears. This campaign ad is an affront to all of us Hybernating-Americans," said Tedddy Bear, spokesbear for the group.
More on the press conference after the jump.
A number of bears took to the podium today to express their outrage against Senator Lieberman. Here are some excerpts:
"I can't get enough Super Golden Crisps, but I've had enough of Joementum!"
"This ad is harder to digest than we are!"
It's a good thing we're about to be extinct so we won't have to see this ad again."
"If that bitch Lieberman shows his damn face in my forest, I'm gonna put a cap in his ass!"
"What Joementum did, that ain't cool / he's making us bears, look like fools--break it down now!"
The bears proceded to endorse Ned Lamont, having concluded that he would be "a friend to bears everywhere."
UPDATE: A new, very high-profile bear has joined the coalition:
"Let's wacka-wacka Joe in August!"
