| Description | "Sen. Bob Casey's TV ad man fired back at former Gov. Ed Rendell on Friday for comments Rendell had made criticizing Casey's reelection campaign.
"Instructive criticism is one thing, but ignorance is something else," said Casey's media consultant, Saul Shorr.
Rendell, in an interview Tuesday with the Scranton Times-Tribune, was caustic in his evaluation of the "non-campaign" he said Casey was running against his Republican foe, Tom Smith.
"Casey? He hasn't run a campaign. He's run one ad, a stupid tea party ad," Rendell said. "The tea-party ad isn't bad, but that's all they've run. They've run a non-campaign up until now, and Smith has put a lot of money into the campaign."
The ad Rendell referred to - the only one Casey had on the air in Philadelphia for a time - depicts an image of Smith on a tea cup and suggests the GOP nominee is too far right politically for Pennsylvania.
Shorr, speaking to The Inquirer, said Rendell appeared unaware that Casey has two ads on the air in Philadelphia (and will start a third Saturday). He said Casey has run seven commercials statewide." |
