With the McCain campaign’s recent “lipstick on a pig” manufactured outrage and terrible misrepresented sex education ad against Obama coupled with the Obama campaign’s equally silly “McCain can’t e-mail” ad, I just have to say this:
The is no honor among thieves…
The McCain campaign stole the “change” mantra and the Obama campaign stole the “experience” mantra. And now they are trying to out silly each other. Punditry says this hurts Obama more than McCain. I beg to differ. Both look like dunces. When I saw Obama and McCain emerge from their primaries, I actually thought that this could be a different type of election. One where issues took precedence and they would show some statesmanship. Alas! I was wrong. It’s jailhouse humor time and the inmates are craving for more.
I blame America’s insatiable appetite for celebrities. Barack Obama became a celebrity. So much so that the McCain campaign went and got the self-proclaimed “pitbull with lipstick” Sarah Palin. And Palin’s celebrity status went up exponentially. Look at how Saturday Night Live is working hard to pull a former Saturday Night Live cast member back into the fold to play Sarah Palin. Obama’s celebrity caused the McCain campaign to get silly and Palin’s light speed celebrity caused the Obama campaign to get silly. I think I’m going to start reading Perez Hilton more since he knows how to cover celebrities THE RIGHT WAY instead of the utterly weird way political pundits cover celebrities: without any humor or flair! Slackers…
But since this election as morphed into who can out celeb and out silly each other, I have a clear picture of who should be our next President and Vice-President. The ticket I’m writing in and voting this November. A ticket that will bring this country together or they will kick our butts: Sarah Palin/Michelle Obama ’08!!
Just look at them!
That’s enough edge to cause our enemies to tremble, eh? Domestic financial trouble? BAH! Prez Palin applies the “pitbull jaw lock” on Wall Street. That’ll learn those New York City types! Senate getting fiesty? VP Obama (Michelle) will go straight Black Panthers on them!
The Pitbull and the Black Radical… That’s a celebrity, historic American Presidential ticket for the ages. You may hate Hollywood but Hollywood doesn’t hate you… You big celebrity lovers!
UPDATE
I just realized that Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama look like my junior high school principal and assistant principal. Even better! Nothing like having a few grade school principals sitting in cabinet meetings. Someone gets out of line, it’s off to detention.
I’m not complex. Don’t have time for all that. And all that complex stuff bad for the stomach. Just color me simple and plain with a twist.
