Republican candidate Bob McDonnell must be really happy that the NRA is spending over a half-million dollars on TV ads that tell his supporters to vote on the wrong day in November.

(Hint: It’s not “November 2nd.”)

Looks sort of like a cross between Stanley Kubrick and Mel Brooks.

Recall, however, that this comes from the folks who spent more than $13 million to elect President McCain; who so effectively bullied Senators on the nomination of Justice Sotomayor that the Senate confirmed her with 68 votes — including 12 NRA ‘A’ rated votes; who failed to intimidate the Senate into forcing states to accept out-of-state concealed carry permits; and who — so far in Virginia — have managed to not only foul up the correct date of the election, but also “reinforce defaming stereotypes” of Italian-Americans in their campaign ads for Bob McDonnell.

But you know, aside from that, the NRA sure is a scary political machine.

For a gang that can’t shoot straight.
