Former McCain Adviser: "Celeb" Ad Is "Childish"

[kevinmc]

John Weaver, who had been one of John McCain's chief advisers up until last year, says that the candidate's "Celeb" ad against Barack Obama is "childish."

"John's been a celebrity ever since he was shot down," Weaver toldThe Atlantic's Marc Ambinder. "Whatever that means. And I recall Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush going overseas and all those waving American flags."

1. heh

[SuperTrouper]

2. McCain is childish. All he does is talk about Obama

and whine about the media. He is digging his own grave and reinforcing his image as a grouch

[Whisp]

4. witless and stupid.

what is it with these top tier repugs.
I just don't get why they get all the stupid and still win (well, yes, I get it - election fraud, etc.)

3. When Steve Schmidt is your campaign boss

you know exactly the kind of campaign you're gonna get. That disgusting turd is a rove wanna be and protege. As soon as mclame signed him on I knew the kind of ads we were going to see.

I'm hopeful that this will truly fuck up mcsame with anybody that could seriously consider themselves an independant, Schmidt will play to the whackjob church shooting base but that's about it. As long as Obama hits him back hard and often Mcinsane is going to go down like Mike Tyson with the weird tatoo on his face.

5. this part's good. Tomfoolery!

Weaver also said: "There is legitimate mockery of a political campaign now, and it isn't at Obama's. For McCain's sake, this tomfoolery needs to stop."

6. Comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears

is about the most insane thing I've ever seen in a political ad. It's beyond childish, it's insane.

[Cha]

7. Not to mention ...now mccain is a

whinya$$ jealous has been.

[BlueStater]

8. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but why did McLame only compare Barack to female celebrities?

Some sort of subtle attack on his masculinity?

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Obama should compare McCain to mini me. He looks just like 'm.

:evilgrin:

10. Actually that wouldn't be to bad of an idea
