Here's your Kerry campaign ad:
Start with ominous music, and this voiceover: "You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps." Then fade in on this photo. (Crop out Colson -- make it a two-shot of the young John O'Neill and Richard Nixon.) Voiceover: "The Nixon White House urged John O'Neill to attack John Kerry." Pick up some of this from the Nixon White House tapes:
Nixon's secret tapes captured him fretting with aides about the political threat Kerry posed and plotting to "destroy" him. O'Neill, an articulate young vet who had criticized Kerry's anti-war speeches, was invited to the White House in 1971 and encouraged to debate Kerry.
"Give it to him, give it to him," Nixon told O'Neill.
(Audio would be nice, but typewriter font simulating the printed Nixon transcripts would also work,with speaker IDs prominent, especially NIXON:)
Slowly close in on the picture of the young John O'Neill -- then morph it into the mature O'Neill attacking Kerry on Fox or CNN or MSNBC.
Voiceover: "Now Nixon's hatchetman is attacking John Kerry again. John Kerry -- a lifetime of service to his country. John O'Neill" -- back to the O'Neill two-shot with Nixon -- "a lifetime of attacks."
