Zucker punch

Washington Times:

Movie director David Zucker has made a living off of satirical comedies, including "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun," but the one-time liberal activist is now focusing his camera to mock Democrats in political ads.
In Mr. Zucker's opinion, portrayed in Internet ads for the Republican National Committee, Democrats are unable or unwilling to confront threats to America and are fiscally irresponsible.
...
Like his movies, the Internet spots that Mr. Zucker directed and co-wrote employ fast-paced, gag-a-second slapstick humor that has made him a king of spoof.
One of Mr. Zucker's ads -- funded by the RNC and now available on YouTube.com and an RNC parody site called "America Weakly" -- spoofs the Democrats' reputation as the party of tax-and-spend liberals.
It opens with a shot of a couple peacefully sleeping in bed. A narrator's voice interrupts the calm: "What if you woke up a year from today, the Democrats had taken over, and you were able to see their new taxes?"
Suddenly, a man in a dark suit, the Democratic tax man, appears in the bedroom and holds out his hand for a payoff. He shows up again and again. He hits up a woman who has just given birth, and even demands payment from her newborn. The 90-second spot ends with an army of ominous-looking Democratic tax men, briefcases in hand, marching down the street like some spooky army.
The RNC rejected a second Zucker spot that mocked the Democrats as weak on defense. The controversial ad, which has leaked to YouTube.com, features a Madeleine Albright look-alike handing a basketball autographed by Michael Jordan to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, an event that actually took place in 2000.
"The Democrats' thoughtful gift had two major results," an ominous voiceover says. Suddenly, an image of a nuclear missile being fired followed flashes on the screen, followed by Mr. Kim doing a reverse dunk.
...

The Albright ads is a terrific spoof of Democrat foreign policy and should have been run. Republicans can use more converts like Zucker.
