Celebrity?

Andrew Sullivan makes a good point. For the 'celebrity' in the campaign, how many sitcoms has Barack Obama done guest spots on? How many movies has he done cameos in? How many times has he hosted Saturday Night Live. As John McCain's http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564587/">IMDB bio shows, he's done a lot. 24, Wedding Crashers, The Tony Danza show, numerous appearances on Saturday Night Live. It's another example of http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/206947.php">the curve that John McCain gets graded on. Of these two, there's no question who the more preening candidate is or the bigger 'celebrity' is.

3. Obama is the real celebrity.

McCain is just an elitist who gets to act because he's a senator, which he only became because he married so much damned money. No one really cares what he has to say, nor are they enthusing over his talent.

Obama's the real celebrity, for many of the right reasons.
