Tonight, Jim Talent(R) fired back against the heartbreaking ad that Michael J. Fox made for the Claire McCaskill campaign.  No, this wasn't the clumsy, amateurish ad that was featured on Drudge earlier today.  This was a quite well produced ad featuring Talent on screen, voicing his support for science -- and his disgust at his opponent's "attack ads."

In his ad, Talent was back to his usual low-key, reasonable guy mode, as he told how he didn't oppose research.  He opposed... human cloning.  This was a term he repeated later in the ad, saying again that he had made a "moral and ethical decision" that he couldn't support human cloning.  

Despite the false information, it was a well made ad.  Too bad for Talent, he didn't buy the thirty seconds that followed.
