The Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign is releasing a new radio ad, featuring a Boston cop talking about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry. Here are a couple of excerpts:

John Kerry has been my Senator for 20 years. Now he�s running for President. You might want to know him the way some of us in Massachusetts do. Take his record on taxes. John Kerry likes to raise taxes. So much so he�s voted for higher taxes 350 times�I�m a working guy with six kids. The last thing I need is another Kerry tax increase...

I�d say look it, trust me, John Kerry likes to raise taxes.

(If it were a New York cop, instead of "look it," it'd be more like, "John Kerry likes to raise taxes. Yeah, huh?")

It'd be interesting to see if, in response, Kerry releases an ad with a Texas Ranger complaining about U.S.-France diplomacy.
