If this is the kind of crap the Speaker and his supporters are putting out and / or passing around it will end up being quite easy for me to decide how I’ll vote in May.

Yeah it was Willamette Week who made the video, not I, nor any other Merkley supporters. I do think however it is very accurate criticism of the way Novick is handling his disability and notable to say the least that the media may be starting to turn on Novick’s portrayal.

I have to agree with Rev. Chuck Currie. I will laugh at self deprecating humor any day. But picking fun at someone, not cool. I think this video is just plain dumb anyway. It doesn’t make any sense. Sleeve Nohooke…the stupid raspy voice?

Except the most prominent Novick supporters like the parody.
The video makes plenty of sense to me.

Ben,
The video isn’t making fun of Novick’s disability. It’s making fun of his campaign strategy, which has relentlessly hammered (pun) the fact that he is differently abled. Novick’s official website is votehook.com for goodness sake. The Willamette Week is only confirming what party activists have known for months: Steve Novick is a bad joke and it’s by his own doing.
