Oops! Dems Pull 9/11 'Jet' Ad

By Carl Campanile, N.Y. Post

Red-faced House Democrats were forced to yank offensive images of a jet buzzing around lower Manhattan in a planned TV ad attacking GOP congressional candidate Bob Turner -- just as New Yorkers prepare to observe the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

In the 30-second ad, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sought to rap Turner for a quip he made that he “never met a tax loophole I didn’t like.’’

But it was too clever by half.

The ad shows a “Bob Turner for Congress’’ corporate jet approaching the lower Manhattan skyline -- an ominous image approaching the anniversary of 9/11. After complaints, the DCCC quickly removed it.
