Akin Ads Pulled Due to Lack of Payment

Source: KOMU

COLUMBIA - Republican senatorial candidate Todd Akin's latest round of political ads have been pulled from the airwaves of KOMU 8 and other Missouri TV stations due to a lack of payment as of Thursday.

Akin's camp placed an ad buy that was supposed to run in full through this week.

Standard procedure dictates that political ads must be paid in full before ads will run, but KOMU 8 received half of the payment for the Akin ads and ran half of the ad buy.

When KOMU 8 did not receive the rest of the money in time for the rest of the ad cycle, it pulled the ads.

Well, that is VERY good news! Serves the asshole right. Now we need to think of something to nail Ann Coulter - she's literally out of control. Grrr...Sandra Fluke should get her for slander. AC actually tweeted that the convention was so boring that the Dems might have to have a live abortion onstage. Thank goodness she's not a mother. Evil Bitch. Maybe she can get together with Akin.
