ATLANTA (AP) -- Republican gubernatorial candidate Sonny Perdue is facing sharp criticism -- and not just from Democrats -- for a new campaign video that depicts Gov. Roy Barnes as a giant rat.

In 10-minute video, Barnes is portrayed as a huge rodent wearing a ``King Roy'' necklace. He is shown stuffing himself with wine and fruit at the governor's mansion and lovingly hugging the state Capitol as a narrator calls him ``shifty'' and ``crafty.''

I hope Governor Barnes and his campaign staff are smart enough to produce this commercial:
