OK, Tom, stop begging

* Tom Bowen over at the mayor’s campaign listened to some new radio ads I posted in the subscriber section this afternoon and has now taken it upon himself to persuade me to release the spots to the Interwebtubes public. I like Tom, always have. And I just hate to see him look so silly on Twitter, so I am relenting.

These radio ads were produced by former state Sen. Rickey Hendon for state Sen. Annazette Collins (D-Chicago) and Napoleon Harris (D-Flossmoor) in their respective Senate primaries. Hendon’s black radio spots are legendary.

First up, the Collins spot…

Now one for Harris…

You’re welcome, Tom.

7. TCB, not always, but Rickey’s candidates tend to win.

8. Yet another reason why Tom Bowen rocks

9. He left out the part about getting a state scholarship no matter where you live. Other than that, not bad.

10. In my dreams, Hollywood Hendon hosts a daily show on WLS or WGN. Imagine the transition between the Don Wade & Roma show and him…

11. They forgot to mention that Senator Collins voted for the ComEd rate hike over the Governor’s veto… oh, wait maybe they left that out on purpose.

12. @ArchPundit:

14. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! The Harris ad sounds like those speacial movies no one is supposed to know you watch. Listen to the cheesy background music!!!! Why???

    Comment by Anon Wednesday, Mar 14, 12 @ 4:53 pm

15. That’s spectacular. Hollywood Hendon should move into Harpo now that Rosie’s gone.

    Comment by Winchester Wednesday, Mar 14, 12 @ 6:53 pm

16. Reminds me of the tim meadows ladies man movie. Harris was an NFL player-why don’t we mention that?

17. I’m an African American woman and I’m offended. Seriously?

    Comment by Anon Wednesday, Mar 14, 12 @ 8:36 pm

18. LMFAO.

    This reminded me so much of a throw back to Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood:

19. my mouth is open and I’m speechless. hollywood hendon missed his calling.

    Comment by purple haze Wednesday, Mar 14, 12 @ 11:29 pm

20. I live in Annazette’s district and have been going back and forth on her and Van Pelt-Watkins (I know about Annazette’s troubles but I have had ZERO contact with the VP-Watkins campaign and Annazette has had calls from Personal PAC and loads of mail out to me).

    This ad and one of the commenters though seals it for me that VP-Watkins has my vote on Tuesday. I don’t have a car so her gas tank on the spot bit won’t help me but I am a ComEd customer paying more thanks to her support for the rate hike.

    Thanks SportShoz.

21. Would the term “low information voter” be appropriate here?

    Comment by Chicago Cynic Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 6:23 am

22. Sorry….I’m speechless.

    Comment by Foxfire Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 7:07 am

23. I forgot all about these! They are classics. Thanks for the laughs.
