Celebrity Politician Barack Obama Calls Celebrity Politician John McCain a Celebrity
If feel like I must have missed something back there a week or so ago.
Like, was I maybe in the bathroom or outside smoking a cigarette when someone explained just why exactly it's bad thing for a politician to be popular…
My favorite part is when — in the middle of this counterattack ad with Ragtime background music (hint, hint) — the Obama people attack "John McCain's Low Road Campaign."

i think there's a significant difference between blasting someone for being popular and comparing them to vapid celebrities and calling someone out on being a Washington insider to the establishment and lobbyists. the point of calling McCain a "Washington celebrity" is meant as an ironic jab at McCain's own attack ad.
you HAVE heard of irony, right Comedy Central? or has Mind of Mencia completely numbed you to actual wit?
Who gives a fr@ck?!?!?
I already know who I'm going to vote for (Go Colbert!), so what's some superficial celebrity ad going to change? It doesn't even have Paris or Britney, Obama could've at least got the Brangeline twins! I mean come–
Hey look at McCain and Commander Guy's manhug! Holy [insert diety/divinity of choice here] their [insert politically correct/preferred term for non-[insert politically correct/preffered term for men who fr@ck with women] men]!
The visuals for the Low Road bit and the Nothing for You bit are hilarious.
What, no footage of McCain on the Daily Show?
This attack ad must be following the Polish battle plans from WWII set to elitist ragtime jazz. They just need to splice McCain bee-bopping at a USO event with a young Bob Hope.
the way I see it, if you punch at someone then you better be able to take one yourself.
The Mack has punched and punched and thinks he shouldn't get hit back. If the truth were really told about the man…there wouldn't be enough TV time to run all the true dirt about MacK Daddy Cane.
