Salon picked up on a Mazie Hirono press release criticizing Linda Lingle‘s latest TV spot.

Excerpts from the post:

When you have to fill 24 hours a day of airspace with nothing but your Senate campaign, as does former Hawaii Republican Governor Linda Lingle, who became the first candidate in history to create an entire cable network dedicated to her campaign, you need to produce a lot of content. So perhaps it should be forgiven if her new ad bears a striking resemblance to a John Hancock mutual fund ad from 2010.
