Dirty Deeds

It was just a matter of time. I just knew this AC/DC song would be coming out in the campaign. This was probably the first video in production with RPV’s media crew, just waiting for the last pieces of footage to finish it off.

It boggles my mind that the very same website that popularized the term “Creightards” now has the vapors because Sheila Johnson made fun of Creigh’s stutter.
Maybe the left’s mock outrage will bring Deeds to within 10 points of McDonnell.
Awesome Song! Awesome Ad!
The left’s mock outrage at Sheila Johnson is similar to their mock “respect” for the troops!
Thanks for sharing the funny video.
Hope the election leaves Deeds Thunderstruck.
Let’s imagine a candidate running for office. It’s a man and he’s 5′7″ tall and weighs 230 pounds. He has a beer belly, chubby cheeks and kind of waddles when he walks. Then, he says he’s a professional bodybuilder. Wouldn’t that make you wonder?
Deeds is a professional lawyer, a practicing attorney. Shouldn’t he be able to put a few sentences together? Shouldn’t he be able to answer questions after the Fairfax Chamber debate without stumbling and bumbling?
General Assembly members in Virginia are very much part time politicians. They need to be either very rich (not needing a non-political job) or they need to work somewhere beyind the statehouse. What’s the story with Creigh Deeds? He’s a lawyer that can’t manage a coherent statement? Does he come from family money and the lawyer gig is just a sidelight? Is Bath County one of those places where a very few people run the county and Deeds gets all the leagl work regadless of his seeming unsuitability for the legal profession.
Shelia Johnson made inappropriate comments. She has apologized. But her uncouth, unfunny attempt at humor does bring out a bigger question - How has Creigh Deeds supported himself in the 27 years he has held a part time GA position?
Anybody save the video? It’s gone from youtube.
Wow, that’s strange. I’ve never seen RPV pull a video from YouTube before.
Maybe there was a royalties issue. From my experience with folks like ASCAP and BMI (the two big guys you need to pay royalties to) is that you pay them a flat rate for a year’s license, and then a penny or so per view. If the video becomes wildly popular, that fractional payment per view can get AWFULLY expensive. Since they have other things to spend money on, I imagine they might have had to make a decision about whether they’d want to continue paying ASCAP or BMI hundreds of dollars a week when they need that money for other things.
That’s a big reason I only use royalty-free music with video. One, I don’t want the accounting headache, and two, if I got surprised with the popularity of something I don’t want to have to be shelling out big bucks on royalty payments.
Of course with this one, stock royalty-free music wouldn’t have worked.
