"celebrity" meme

For good or for ill, the "celebrity" meme is here to stay in the presidential race.

After John McCain's campaign attacked Barack Obama on the grounds that he's too popular for his own good -- and compared his celebrity to that of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears -- Barack Obama's ad-makers have responded in kind. They had plenty of material to work with. As the Internet Movie Database shows, John McCain has guest-starred or lent cameos to four dozen different television programs, and not just those of the news variety: Saturday Night Live, WWF Raw and Entertainment Tonight have featured the Arizona Republican, as have all the major late-night comedians.

No , I don't think this wil work. McCain has more in his experience list and isn't more sizzle than steak.

On Monday evening, the Atlantic Magazine released its long awaited opus on the downfall of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

The piece, titled "The Front-Runner's Fall" was based off of more than 200 internal emails and memos many of which were posted online..................

Mark Penn wrote fellow staffers that if it was a two way race with Obama after Iowa, Clinton would best be suited to launch several hypothetical attacks. "

<<Friday we do a media interviews (sic) and basically say that he is unvetted, discuss his ever-changing positions.>>

Worked like a charm, didn't it?

When are some of those Beltway insiders going to get it that people are sick and tired of the same old shit and are ready for a change?  "Unvetted" means unvetted by Beltway insiders.  And that's a GOOD thing.   Every candidate they "vetted" was a fucking disaster.  What part of "change" do they fail to understand?
