The Jack Nicholson ad (click here to view) can not have been created by Clinton supporters. If Jack Nicholson, apparently helped by Rob Reiner, created this ad to show his support of Clinton, he has demonstrated an incredible lack of judgement. If his intention was to help Obama, he has struck gold...

First the Joker clips highlight that those with criminal backgrounds, felons, perhaps, support Clinton. While Clinton may want felons to have the right to vote (click here for info on her pro-felon stance), Democrats don't usually like to call attention to their support of these lawbreakers.

Then we have the delusional Jack Torrence, a husband who wants to kill his wife and child, telling the bartender "Things could be better" which raises thoughts of another husband who at times may have thought things could be better...

Then Nicholson showcases his character Col. Jessep, a pompous military leader who covered up the "code red" that resulted in the death of a soldier. Who can forget the scene between Jessep and the young, idealistic attorney played by Tom Cruise? After the badgering of this young, articulate, hopeful attorney who believes he can CHANGE the military by forcing the old guard to admit the failings of their policies and procedures, Jessep cracks and shows his true and ominous leanings:

Jessep: You want answers?

Kaffee (Tom Cruise): I think I'm entitled to them.

Jessep: You want answers?

Kaffee: I want the truth!

Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

Kaffee: Did you order the code red?

Jessep: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.

Kaffee: Did you order the code red?

Jessep: You're goddamn right I did!!

Hillary should ask them to pull the ad and hope the thousands and thousands of people who saw it haven't forwarded it to their friends.

Obama's people should be forwarding this ad to all of their supporters before it is pulled.

And Jack Nicholson suggesting that Hillary Clinton would be the sexual fantasy of military men is just too much to ponder...

Honestly, Obama must be laughing himself silly..
