McCain’s Desperate Measures: Paris Hilton and Britney Spears

Americans want a respectful campaign … People say, negative ads move numbers. They may, but do we have to go to the lowest common denominator? I don’t think so.

This was Senator John McCain on April 14 being interviewed by one of the empty suits on Fox ‘News.’ What kind of campaign has John McCain run in just the first three days of this week?

Negative.

On Monday, he questioned his opponent, Sen. Barack Obama’s patriotism, a scurrilous, cheap attack. Today, the high minded McCain campaign put up a new ad featuring stars to the trailer trash set Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. It begins with footage of Obama’s speech in Berlin – and a foreign or domestic crowd McCain couldn’t attract in a million years. The announcer intones, “He’s the biggest celebrity in the world …” while Paris and Britney strike a pose. From this auspicious start it goes on to misrepresent Obama policies. It’s all negative, including trying to demean a Harvard-educated, public service rendering U.S. Senator. Pathetic.

What does McCain’s words and actions say about him this week? He’s a liar. Reference April 14. It also makes all the more apparent will do anything or say anything to win. The John McCain I admired five, six, ten years ago was the John McCain of Faith of My Fathers. He was the war hero, the straight talker, the man on the high road vs. Shrub Bush. Today, he looks tired, desperate and lacking authenticity.

Losing the election in November won’t be the hardest thing on McCain this year. The hardest thing will be the lasting impression this campaign will leave on America’s memories of McCain.
