Gag Me

Forgive my lack of a direct link to this video (YouTube is on the fritz), but today’s latest ad from John McCain’s camp (the one with shots of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton titled “Celeb”) is perhaps the weakest I’ve seen for a presidential campaign in recent memory.

Here’s some free advice, Senator: sack whoever came up with this strategic abortion, and then flog yourself for five minutes in a dark room for agreeing to put your name on it.

PS: I wonder if Britney or Paris gave McCain permission to use their likeness in this ad? If so, they are truly dumber than I ever thought.
