PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -- A Philadelphia radio station manager says he
won't run an ad featuring the impersonated voice of President Bush
endorsing a "Big Oil" agenda.
KYW-AM declined to air the ad, which was sponsored by the Democrats
and features the imitation Bush thanking Republican congressional
candidates for backing the Big Oil agenda.
It apparently sounded real enough that the station decided might think
it was the genuine president speaking.
"As an all-news station, we were concerned that our listeners would
have been misled by usage of an impersonator in the creative
delivery," General Manager David Yadgaroff said in an e-mail sent to
The Hill.
The newspaper said Thursday the radio spot is part of a Democratic ad
campaign running in 13 congressional districts nationwide held by
Republican incumbents.
The Hill said the faux Bush also quips that GOP stands for "Grand Oil
Party."
