I enjoy that commercial each I see it. Hosemann really gets the point across...
Gold star to Egbert!
now then enforce the law Mr. Hosemann
The gold star should go to the Loosers at Cirlot Agency - the folks that designed and produced the ad, not to King Dilbert that did nothing but play the starring role - something he insisted on so that he could get the credit and the accolades. Another case of our elected officials using state dollars to promote themselves.
Will give Gilbert credit for selecting the Loosers - something I'm assuming he did - to create the ad. I will give him credit when and if he starts enforcing the law which is his job; not for his feeding his ever enlarging ego.
Will voter ID be in place for the upcoming May election?
