Britney Litmus Test
Anonymous File :-(, x)
John McCain has introduced a new criterion for the presidency -- similarity to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
I have barely ever picked up a People magazine, but it's clear that the image of Spears/Hilton et al. includes:
Partying-- McCain, who decided to enter politics after treating Senators as Navy Liaison to activities "where grounds for divorce were suspended." Divorce -- McCain, who divorced his injured first wife in favor of a rich youngster, vs. Obama, responsible father and husband in his first marriage Drug Addiction-- pills in Cindy McCain's case, vs. no known adult use in the Obama household Staying on the National Stage past whatever talent got them there-- Clearly McCain has the edge here Desperation for attention-- Ditto Lack of Academic Achievement-- McCain, who barely got through USNA, vs. Obama, President of Harvard Law Review Crashing vehicles -- McCain crashed several aircraft through pilot error Lack of Underwear -- I have no reason to doubt... .
If this is really the criterion for election, McCain made a mistake to raise it.
McCain won election to Congress because of his celebrity as a POW (as his former campaign chair John Weaver said) and his second wife's money. That's certainly less accomplishment than Barack Obama had before he got to Washington.
