I grew in the Omaha area and I remember Roman Hruska and his fellow senator from Nebraska, Carl Curtis. One of them was the target of possibly the funniest political ad I ever remember seeing. There was a little wind-up man (with their name on their jacket) that marched back and forth across the screen carrying a sign that said NO! I don't remember for sure if there was any dialogue or not but if there was it wasn't much. I guess you had to be there.<br /> As for the clue, I haven't the slightest idea. I'm going with songs or bands forever linked to Nebraska politicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-71034909429420931812011-07-07T18:31:57.890-04:002011-07-07T18:31:57.890-04:00Or AC/DC.
