Because we sure as hell don’t want a president who is popular around the world

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton … Barack Obama?

All three make cameo appearances in Senator John McCain’s newest television ad that refers to Mr. Obama as “the biggest celebrity in the world” and uses footage from his speech in Berlin, with sound bites of the throngs cheering “Obama, Obama.”

(The McCain campaign likes to call them Mr. Obama’s “adoring fans.”)

  1. I love the McCain TV ad that criticizes Obama for not visiting troops in Germany while showing a photo of Obama playing basketball with troops.

    Not sure what message they intend but the one coming through loud and clear to me is that McCain and his campaign staff are imbeciles.

  2. Keep in mind however, as Glenn Greenwald notes this morning:

    This is exactly what happens every single election cycle. The Right spews some petty, personality-based attack, and the chirping media birds then mindlessly repeat it until it’s lodged into our discourse as accepted fact.
