Kitty Piercy now has a TV ad out in the tight mayor's race that describes Jim Torrey as a "right wing Republican."

The folksy ad also notes Torrey's big contribution to George Bush's re-election campaign.

Kitty Piercy put a big chunk of her limited campaign money into this TV ad in the tight Eugene mayor's race:

With all the excitement about Obama in a town that voted two-thirds Democrat, it's odd Piercy doesn't mention that she is a Democrat that supports Obama and Jim Torrey ran as a Republican and supported George Bush and the Iraq War.

Here's a couple of YouTube ads from North Eugene High School students that don't miss the Torrey-Bush link:

Monday. Sigh.

1. Cecilia, you're not breaking my heart. Wife of French president skips lunch with G.W.B. to go shopping.

2. Christ. Is any country safe? First Poland freaks out, then Ahmadinejad of Iran starts putting the hurt on ministers, and now? Turd Blossom leaves the White House. Calling all rats! Get off the ship!

3. What will happen when all of the water's gone? Aquifer woes.

4. Just in case you hadn't noticed, Barack Obama is one lucky hottie. (With narrated slideshow too!)

5. Uh-oh, Australia. U.S. airlines aren't the only ones in trouble.

6. Emmy-worthy? Doogie Howser can play a straight man on T.V. even though he's really gay! Wow.

7. Is your kid worth less than your dog? Barbara Ehrenreich explains children should get pet health care.

8. Marin Alsop, former Eugene Symphony conductor/artistic director, is a goddess of contemporary music. As Brett Campbell, our longtime classical freelancer always writes, the Eugene Symphony isn't really into new music. Should the Symphony (and artistic director Giancarlo Guerrero) get on it? Hmmmmmm.
