Screengrab of a closer view of the woman wearing pearls and a dark dress singing (with piano accompaniment) in a black and white 1952 ad for Adlai Stevenson (3 of 4), who according to Dr. Colbert's guest, Chief Curator of the Museum of the Moving Image David Schwartz, thought it was undignified for a presidential candidate to do ads.

Lyrics:
 * I'd rather have a man with a hole in his shoe than a hole in everything he says! I'd rather have a man who knows what to do when he gets to be the Prez! I love [wink] the Gov, the Governor of Illinois. He is the Gov who brings the dove of peace and joy When Illinois the GOP double-crossed He is the one who told all the crooks, "Get lost!"
