McCain Camp Mocks ‘Temple of Obama’
NewsMax ^ | 08/28/2008 | Rick Pedraza

Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign has released a memo mocking Democrat rival Barack Obama’s decision to decorate the stage he will give his acceptance speech tonight on as the “Temple of Obama.”

The memo, titled "Proper Attire for the Temple of Obama (The Barackopolis)," pokes fun at the neoclassical style Britney Spears’ set supervisor Bobby Allen designed for the elaborate stage at 80,000-seat Invesco Field, home of the NFL’s Denver Broncos.

"It's only appropriate that Barack Obama would descend down from the heavens and spend a little time with us mere mortals when accepting the Democratic nomination," Republican National Committee spokesman Danny Diaz tells the New York Post.

"We'll put it in play against him," added Brian Rogers, a spokesman for McCain.

The original head drilling to relieve tension was a really funny gag in FRANKENHOOKER ... come to think of it the male lead in that looked quite a lot like the silky pony...

Allen, the stage supervisor for Spears and several other rock stars, tells The Post he designed the set more to evoke images of the White House and the Lincoln Memorial, not the Acropolis.

"We've done Britney's sets and a whole bunch of rock shows,” Allen said, “but this was far more elaborate and complicated and we had to do it in far less time."

Once Obama speaks, confetti (made from shreded bandages of the soldiers recovering from their wounds in Germany (/s))will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations (his ass & eyes) around the stadium wall, according to an Associated Press report.

So Britney's designer is doing the stage, that leaves Paris to design the togas and Nancy Pelosi's pasties.

I wonder who'll they get for the Tijuana Donkey dance ~ I hope it's not Helen Thomas again? Or will there be a line, starting with Matthews & Olberman, who together will make their grand entrance, coming out from a mockup of a Greek bathhouse.

Debauchery on a grand scale - that's change the media could sink it's teeth into.

As the Democrat crowned their presumptive Greek God Obama behind his temple Barackopolis, MSNBC, CNN and the rest of Obamatopia mainstream media bows down at their master. They chant: All hail Obama the great deciever. All hail Obama the second coming. All hail Obama the greatest celebrity. Who can save us from this evil, only the mighty John McCain could.

Why is the “temple” on the 50 yard line facing one sideline? If Obama is really drawing 80,000 people to hear his speech, then wouldn’t it have been smarter to put the temple in the open end of the stadium so that more people could see him? As it is set up, either a large portion of the audience will not be able to see anything except on a video screen, or they really don’t expect to actually fill up the stadium. (but they will still claim that over 80,000 were there)

Olympus... Pagan Greek gods descended from Olympus, not "the heavens."
