Here’s a Campaign Ad Featuring GOP Candidate Getting Punched in the Balls

The 2014 election cycle may go down as the Year of the Groin.

First we had California tea partier Tim Donnelly’s bilingual boast of the size of his testicles; then Iowa Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst bragging of castratin’ hogs; followed by Ohio Republican candidate J.D. Winteregg’s ad about John Boehner’s “electile dysfunction.”

Now comes Mike McFadden, who’s the Republican challenging Senator Al Franken (D-MN). McFadden is former football coach and loaded up his ad with plenty of pigskin puns. (“Washington’s fumbling our future,” “Obamacare needs to be sacked,” etc.) Then a youngster punches him in the balls. The gag: he’s “tough.”

Might work better if he weren’t up against a guy who used to do this for a living.
