Hooked On Novick

Posted on February 29, 2008

I believe I may have found the ideal candidate for the U.S. Pirate Party: Oregon’s Steve Novick.

Why?

So a U.S. Senate candidate with a metal hook for a left hand walks into a bar.

The candidate, Steve Novick, has bellied up next to a voter and the two talk about politics. The other guy struggles to twist off a beer cap. Novick coolly reaches over, grabs the bottle and deftly uses his metal hook to pop it open, telling the other man: “We can’t afford just politics as usual.”

It’s a political ad unlike any other this season, and the video has become a hit on YouTube.

And here’s the ad:
