The anti-Bradley Byrne TV commercials were a topic of conversation on the On The Record show with Tim James as the guest this week. We taped it this morning, and it will air Sunday on CBS 8/WAKA in Montgomery at 5:30, just before 60 Minutes.
The ads were also the mocking subject of satire by liberal HBO Host Bill Maher on his Real Time program this evening, though Maher said they were ads by Roy Moore against Byrne. In reality they are from a third party, which may or may not have received money from AEA. Tim James denies any involvement. And where they got the Roy Moore information, I have no idea.
Anyway, he showed made-up Bryne ads defending himself. Video of the show will be posted later tonight here. The Alabama segment isn't till the second half hour.
The "concept" Maher used to get to the commercials was a competition for the "Dumbest State" title, with Alabama competing against Utah and Mississippi and others. Alabama was up first, perhaps condemned purely for being alphabetically #1.
The conversation with Tim James on OTR was, well, less satirical anyway. James denied any involvement, though he did say lobbyist Claire Austin may have helped fund the ads, and that she was a fundraiser for him as an independent contractor.
