Sarah Palin: The Anti-Celebrity

This summer, John McCain's campaign produced an ad calling Barack Obama the biggest celebrity in the world and equating him with Paris Hilton. This was meant to sting, since celebrities are out of touch with things like small-town values. That's why there are no celebrities in the McCain campaign. Take Sarah Palin. Why, in just the last two weeks she has…

…sensibly graced the covers of Vogue, Time, OK!, US Weekly and The National Enquirer;

…homespun-edly pulled down the highest ratings of anyone in convention coverage history;

…industriously turned Joe Biden into the drama-free vice presidential candidate;

…rolled up her sleeves to make millions for hard-working lens manufacturers;

…and inspired a line of super hero/school girl action figures, just like your grandma from Kenosha.

Yep, it's a good thing Sarah Palin is just a down-to-Earth hockey mom and not a celebrity, like Barack Obama.
