Okay, maybe not. But man, I wish Barack Obama could borrow her sense of humor – and her ad shop.
As you may or may not know (wink), John McCain put out an ad comparing Obama to empty-headed celebrities like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Senator Obama, the hysterions in the Obamasphere, and many opinionators in the corporate media immediately screamed, “RACISM!” because Britney and Paris are white and of course, McCain implied that Obama wanted to have sex with them. (insert eyeroll here) This tactic backfired completely, and allowed McCain’s true narrative of Obama as young, vapid and unready to lead to infect the public’s brains, completely unchallenged by the Senator from Illinois.
