Speak English you lively morons
Campaign ad for Alabama's governor seat have started up. Tim Jennings is among the hopefuls of obtaining the seat. In one of his campaign ads, he mentions about how in Alabama the people speak English; therefore, all driving tests should be done in English and not the 11 other languages they are currently given in. This is a really ballsy thing to say on a television commercial. Now I can understand his point about how it is a waste of money to get these tests in 12 languages, but the fact that this is one of his commercials is a bad choice. Politicians are judged tremendously on these television spots, it is the main way that I get to see them. The ad can be found at this link http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100428/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1831 reading the comments at the bottom just go to show how controversial of a commercial it is. He probably should have saved this idea for a debate or something where people educated on politics could hear it, not a form of mass media.
