Senator Daschle's latest tear-stained ad, in which he has his four Republican supporters decry negative ads, ends with a scene depicting an avuncular fellow by the name of Don Frankenfeld. Frankenfeld makes the following statement:
"Ads that attack Senator Daschle in a way that is unfair, it's nonsense, and it's got to stop."
Considering this Daschle ad is in response to a US Chamber of Commerce ad criticizing Daschle's coziness with "wealthy trial lawyers" and blocking medical malpractice reform at the behest of these wealthy trial lawyers, it's interesting to note that Don Frankenfeld is in the business of offering expert witness services to trial lawyers. At his business website, Frankenfeld even has an audio excerpt of Senator Daschle plugging his business at the 2003 ATLA convention in San Francisco. It would seem that Frankenfeld has a pecuniary interest in appearing in these Daschle ads.
I discussed Frankenfeld's ties to Daschle in a long post earlier this year.
