Barack Obama's campaign has been seriously frightened by John McCain celebrity-mocking ads. Those celebrities were virtually nowhere to be found for most of the Denver convention. While the Obama machine may control the inside of the convention, outside these celebrities are clearly out of control – again.

That overbaked tart Madonna kicked off her latest concert tour with a fairly typical attempt to put her Kung Fu grip on media attention by signaling her preferences in the presidential race. In her first concert in London – the same city where the Dixie Chicks professed their shame for being geographically associated with Bush – Madonna performed a song titled “Give It 2 Me” with a video screen flashing images behind her.
...
So what was the political message in the song accompanying those visuals? It featured hackneyed Madonna lyrics: “If it’s against the law, arrest me. If you can handle it, undress me.” By now, as she turns 50, the lyrics are beginning to sound desperate.

This is becoming a pattern for the poor, celebrity-loaded Obama campaign. Just a few weeks ago, the rapper calling himself Ludacris lauded Obama and slashed Bush and McCain in a YouTube video entitled “Obama’s Here.” In the lyrics, Ludacris calls himself Obama’s favorite rapper, noting the candidate said (to Rolling Stone magazine) that he listens to Ludacris on his iPod.
First, Ludacris offended all the Hillary-adoring feminists. “Better yet put me in office, make me your vice president, Hillary hated on you, so that b—— is irrelevant.”
Then came the Republican-bashing: “Paint the White House black and I’m sure that’s got ‘em terrified, McCain don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed.” McCain deserves a wheelchair, and Bush is a moron: “Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped, ball up all of his speeches and just throw ‘em like candy wrap.”
...
When he spoke to Rolling Stone, Obama lauded Ludacris as one of several “great talents and great businessmen” and hailed “the genius of the art form.” He said he was “troubled sometimes by the misogyny and materialism” in rap lyrics and added “It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying they were getting bad images of themselves.” He didn’t even claim his little girls didn’t listen to it.
Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but this is not the first time I've heard people say they think Obama is lying in order to win...and being fine with it. That is downright scary.
I believe that was the essence of what the Rev. Jeremiah Wright had to say on or about the day Rev. G-D-America gave his National Press Club speech.

McCain’s next ad should be the following:
A bunch of pictures of the usual Limousine Leftists who want to run peoples’ lives: Rosie, Roseanne, Clooney, Baldwin, Madonna, Bono, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins-Sarandon, Jane Fonda, etc.
Then a single line:
“Obama ‘08: We just know better what’s good for you.”
Celebrities embarrass themselves. They just aren’t aware of it.
