We here at M&P have been critical of some of the McCain campaign's recent advertisements. So to bring you the fair and balanced coverage you deserve, here's one from the Democratic National Committee that fails in so many ways. It centers on the controversial McCain "Celebrity" ad that not-so-subtly compares Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Deciding that the only way to attack a not-so-subtle ad is with an ad that takes one point and bashes you over the head with it until you're unconscious, then bashes you with it some more, the DNC rolled out this beauty, featuring a clip of the Arizona senator talking about that ad in Racine, WI (Milwaukee's Rockford.)
Did you catch that? I had to watch it a few times, but I think what they're saying is McCain might have been proud of that commercial. Hard to tell, though.
Aside from the ad's Marge-Simpson-esque (a part of us all) tone, it doesn't exactly say a lot. It tells us nothing about McCain, except that he likes a commercial. Of course he does, he did the whole "I'm John McCain and I approve this message" thing at the end. It's not like he can condemn it now. Besides, he's not going to throw his own campaign staff workers under the bus. And what does his approval of a stupid and likely meaningless ad have to do with anything important?
I sure hope the DNC isn't proud of this commercial.
