OK. FINE. I'LL BLOG ABOUT THIS TOO.



Whoever green-lighted the now notorious John McCain advertisement comparing Bama Mama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton deserves a mother fucking Clio award.

The Internets just can't keep their fingers shut about this. Anyone with a pulse and functioning key boards have giddily unleashed massive amounts of "unimaginative" "racist" and "unfair" blah blahs and splashed it all over screens large and small.

Clearly this is just McCain's sour grapes at the media's new hotter, younger, much more virile boy toy. It sucks to get dumped. All you have left is memories, and it does seems like just yesterday that the media wet itself over McCain. They even had pet names--calling him the "maverick" and saying he was "too good to be true" as Steve Chapman so deftly pointed out in his Chicago Tribune article.

Personally, I think it's much ado about nothing. Although as nymag so snarkily added: "Andy Warhol would have appreciated the deadpan, if not the politics."
