Why is this man laughing in your commercial
Photo:Chion Wolf
If Chion Wolf's photo of Richard Blumenthal laughing were any more valued and sought-after, there would be a Dan Brown novel about it. John Dankosky had already made it clear, to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, that our photos are not to be used in political attack ads.
So what happens?
Linda McMahon's campaign does the same thing. Did you people just drink a big glass of stupid juice? Do we have to open up a can of whupass on you? Did no one ever teach you not to take things without asking (or even crediting)?
A McMahon spokesperson assured Dankosky, earlier today, the photo will be swapped out.

Actually, John, they haven't taken it down yet. It's 10:30 p.m., the ad just ran and the picture is still in there.
