The season of slime starts early, and isn’t even that original, to tell you the truth. Haven’t we seen these same “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” parody attack ads in every elections since at least 2004? Didn’t we see similar ads trotted out against Vern Buchanan two years ago?
Either way, the shadowy 527 group Don’t Bank on Sink has released an Internet ad mocking CFO and governor candidate Alex Sink’s use of state airplanes.
Watch the entire ad and learn more about who’s behind the group after the jump.
According to the Palm Beach Post, the 527 political group has a frontman, former Alachua County Republican chairman Stafford Jones. The group has not disclosed its financing, and its address is a mail drop in a Publix Shopping Center in Gainesville.

Jones’ group has a second version of the ad up as well, and here it is:
