Of politics and ads (part 2)

As if he needed any more bad rap, Senator Manny Villar is once again on the crosshairs, thanks to fellow senator and presidentiable Dick Gordon, who accused Villar of bribing him a cabinet post and reimbursement of his campaign expenses in exchange of backing out from the race as well as withdrawing his support from Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile (Inquirer article here).

With that said, why is majority of the "mudslinging" happening these days directed towards Villar? Could someone really be so unanimously hated by his peers that even a presidentiable with decimaled ratings would still bother to hurl "dirt" at him?

The answer, I found out, lies in one of Villar's earlier ads. (hint: 0:29)



Apparently, he likes to wipe them on his shirt.
