John McCain has a new attack ad (shock!) out today against Barack Obama. "Celeb" calls Barry the "the biggest celebrity in the world" while juxtaposing video of him with pictures of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. If you think about it, the comparison works—all three are blond, vapid, attention-seeking skanks. But isn't it a tad trite for Republicans to paint Democrats as in the pocket of "Big Acting?" Even if it seems to be true? Still, the biggest problem with McCain labeling Obama an out of touch Hollywood liberal, is that McCain's own Tinsel Town connections run much deeper.
