Flash! McCain to pick Britney Spears for veep
7 comments July 31st, 2008
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who’s recently shown a great interest in the pop chanteuse, likely will choose her as his running mate.
And why not? After all, they’re both big fans of President Bush:
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

From a REPORT by David Kiley at BusinessWeek.com:
“What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was…wait for it…using wounded troops as campaign props. So, no matter which way Obama turned, McCain had an Obama bashing ad ready to launch. I guess that’s political hardball. But another word for it is the one word that most politicians are loathe to use about their opponents—a lie.”
I wouldn’t be surprised. Would you?

Steve Schmidt (above), a protege of the infamous Karl Rove, is NOW IN CHARGE of the garbage-slinging detail at John McCain’s campaign. Consequently, we’ve begun to see such irrelevancies as comparisons of Barack Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
I doubt, however, that Schmidt & Co. are going to have as much success this time around as they previously did selling George W. Bush and his ill-advised war to an unsuspecting nation.
Americans aren’t that stupid. They’re not likely to buy more stuff from an outfit that already has peddled them shoddy goods under false pretenses.
UPDATE: According to THIS PIECE: “For McCain, the new and sharply negative tone toward Obama could damage the Republican’s image as a maverick who rejects the attack-dog politics of traditional Washington.”
UPDATE II: McCain’s handlers have trouble keeping him “on message,” as he sometimes WANDERS OFF into contradictory ramblings.
