Elizabeth Warren's bizarre announcement video

William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection believes this is Warren's "Dukakis Tank" moment.

As you recall Dukakis created a campaign video of himself driving a military tank in an effort to prove he is something that he's not. The result was so ridiculous even the press corps cracked up laughing. It ended his chances.

For that matter, why not a John Kerry blue bunny suit moment?

Or Howard Dean's howl moment.

Or Dan Quail's "potatoe" moment.

Or Rick Perry's moment, "What was that third thing again?"

Whatever. Jacobson picked Dukakis Tank moment, and not Dukakis' devastating answer to a question about a theoretical rape of his wife.

Warren was imitating Ocasio-Cortez by creating a video of herself at home doing ordinary things. Cortez produces videos of herself making dinner. Warren showed herself at home with her husband but she did not tell her husband what she was doing. Whereas Cortez is authentic, Warren is inauthentic. She tells her husband she's getting a beer and asks him if he wants one. Her husband says, "No" in a tone that suggests, "why are you even asking me that?" Then she drinks a beer only to have herself on camera drinking a beer and not because she customarily quenches her thirst with beer. She's trying to show herself as something she's not; authentic.

Photos, videos, tweets at the link, and comments are interesting as always.
