Karma is kicking the sh*t out of John McCain. After he aligned Barack Obama with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears in his “Celeb” video, Hilton spoofed the video, and National Lampoon spoofed Hilton’s video. Now, another celebrity is getting in on the action: Madonna.
According to The Times:
The campaign of John McCain went head-to-head with Madonna today after the 50-year-old pop diva appeared to compare the Republican candidate to Hitler and Robert Mugabe.
Madonna, who kicked off her “Sticky and Sweet” world tour at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff yesterday, made the swipe during a performance of Get Stupid, when Mr McCain’s image was flashed up alongside images of the Führer and Zimbabwean dictator, as well as destruction and global warming…
A McCain campaign spokesman, Tucker Bounds, condemned the segment. “The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time,” Mr Bounds said.
“It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
Sure, Madonna took it too far, but has Mr. Bounds forgotten how the McCain campaign originated this series of “outrageous” videos that have snowballed upon the republican over the past month? Perhaps Bounds was too busy counting all those properties his boss can’t keep track of to remember that brandishing the word “celebrity” at Obama has been about as effective as the surge plan in Iraq— i.e. not.
