McCain's Meltdown Continues, Compares Obama to Britney and Paris Hilton

This ad is just fucking ridiculous:



Obama is like Britney Spears? Or Paris Hilton? If this is the best the McCain campaign can come up with, Obama will have no problem winning in November. Americans are dumb, but they aren't THAT dumb. Hillary Clinton already ran this kind of campaign and lost, despite having many more inherent advantages than McCain has.

And of course, the ad is filled with more lies. "Higher taxes on electricity"? Where the hell did that come from? But apparently the McCain campaign doesn't care about the truth anymore.

I do find it funny that they can't find any unflattering images of Obama. He looks better in his worst shots than McCain looks in his best shots. And I also don't think that Obama drawing huge crowds it necessarily viewed as a bad thing.

[UPDATE]: The Obama's camp's response:

"On a day when major news organizations across the country are taking Senator McCain to task for a steady stream of false, negative attacks, his campaign has launched yet another. Or, as some might say, ‘Oops! He did it again.’"

Our dependence on foreign oil is one of the greatest challenges we face. In this election the American people have a real choice -- between Obama’s plan to provide tax rebates to American families while creating a renewable energy economy in America that frees us from our dependence on foreign oil, and Senator McCain’s plan to continue the same failed energy policies by handing out nearly $4 billion in tax breaks to oil companies while investing almost nothing in the new energy sources that represent our future.

Pretty funny. McCain is setting himself up for lots of jokes about Paris and Britney.

As I seem to recall, McCain's hero Bob Dole once did a series of Pepsi ads with Britney Spears. Just past McCain's face on Dole and you already have a pretty good comeback right there.
