McCain Blows It Again

By now I am sure everyone has seen McCain's advertisement suggesting that Obama's popularity has made him a celebrity and comparing him to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In equating him to these two young women who have become infamous for bad public behavior, McCain is trying to make Obama's youth a negative suggesting that he is young, inexperienced, irresponsible, and only pandering for attention. Here is the ad below:


Today, I ran across Paris' mother's response to the ad. She said the following:
"I've been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign. It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States."

I think that she makes a lot of sense. To tie this mess with McCain's attack on Obama concerning his plans to solve our energy crisis McCain's spokesperson, Tucker Bounds, said that Paris is deeper than Obama and:

"Sounds like Paris is taking the 'All of the Above' energy approach that John McCain has advocated -- both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama."

I didn't like the comment. It made no sense. From what I have heard Obama has good plan for the energy crisis. I like his better than McCain's plan. Off-shore drilling can only have a negative impact on the environment no matter how careful we try to do it. Tucker was referring to the below comments Paris made as political satire (obviously someone wrote this for her). I posted the video below and if Tucker is so right about Paris being being more substantive than Obama that means that she is also better than McCain. Maybe she should be running and we should vote for her then. Nah!
