	Got spare money?

The Willie Horton thing is goofie because the original IMO is far more startling and everyone knows that the fact it wasn't done by Bushes campaign officially is just a smokescreen. When Bush did the revolving doors add everyone knew who he was references, helped along by the Willie Horton ad. Check it out...
