Celebrity

The McCain campaign has a new ad ridiculing Obama's celebrity status:



The premise: Obama is an international celebrity. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are international celebrities. Britney and Paris are generally thought to be empty-headed and shallow. Therefore Obama is empty-headed and shallow. I suppose we can expect a forthcoming attack ad against the Dalai Lama. Or maybe Jesus. He's dead, but he's VERY popular overseas.

Special bonus tip for those many McCain workers who I'm sure read this blog: when you're trying to diminish your opponent in an ad, don't show throngs of thousands cheering wildly for him.
