In the Cape Cod Times, Kevin Dennehy reports, "Greenpeace takes Kennedy to task (April 24, 2006)":
"In the 30-second spot, a cartoon Kennedy looms over the water like a Japanese movie monster, pounding wind turbines as they sprout from the water, and barks, ''I might see them from my mansion on the Cape.''
(Interestingly, though, the voice actor doesn't seem to even try for Kennedy's distinct accent.)
The ads will run in the home states of several key lawmakers in the days leading up to the vote - an $8.7 billion Coast Guard bill that could make the Nantucket Sound wind farm vulnerable to state veto. Among those targeted so far are U.S. Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., and Norm Coleman, R-Minn.
The ad is not being shown in Massachusetts."
