Thank you for that!
I missed this last night so I just now started watching.
I’ll finish it later though, as this thread is top priority!
n this week’s Time magazine, TV writer James Poniewozik laments the McCain’s campaign against Barack Obama’s celebrity in an eye-popping way: he says it’s “almost unpatriotic,” and that in denigrating America’s celebrity culture, McCain’s like “al-Qaeda and the French.” Here’s the graf:
Why, after all, is celebrity an insult? Personal magnetism, the ability to galvanize attention and rally masses: this is a bad quality in a Chief Executive? J.F.K. and Ronald Reagan managed to soldier on with this handicap. Besides, celebrity is America’s chief international export. There’s something almost unpatriotic about denigrating it; it’s like insulting Obama by comparing him to a GMC truck. (You know who complains about American celebrity culture? Al-Qaeda and the French, that’s who!)
I count at least eleven VP possibilities, I hope we get reports on all of them!
Also I’m in Florida, keeping my eye on Fay, due to hit me in the middle of the week.
