Oops, McCain did it again

After watching McCain's new ad mocking Barack Obama as a self-important celebrity along the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, I was inspired by the last time Britney got involved with a politician in a commercial, back when the media was still in love with the straight-talk express.

Who is that?

I can't tell if it is Bob Dole or John McCain, not that there's a whole lot of difference.

Bob Dole

At the time I didn't get it, but is the "easy boy" line a reference to Dole's viagara-generated randiness? This came second, right?

This

was all a bit forced Rob

Funny!

Ah yes, back in the day when Britney Spears was hot! Seems like twenty years ago!

That McCain ad was a huge win for McCain. It was an ad the news media had to talk about whether they wanted to or not.

I hope that ad runs from now until the day before Election Day. It will take a significant amount of air out of Obama's sails, not to mention a lot of the hot air radiating from Obama himself!

Now THAT'S hot!

He sucks you guys right in. So consider yourself sucked!- Bill Parcells

Sweet Little Lies

I don't have time for detail, so enjoy!
