John McCain’s latest ad compares Obama to the Messiah, or, I suppose, claims that Obama has been doing so. Am I missing something? The negative line at the end seems like an afterthought. In any event, since when does the Messiah have to prove he’s ready to lead? He’s the Messiah, after all. This whole “celebrity” meme, which McCain has now taken to the third power, is puzzling. I guess the theory is that it goes after Obama where he’s strongest, but I’m not sure this line of attack is ultimately a winner, and it’s so ludicrous that it might cost McCain his biggest fans: the media, for as John Aravosis points out at the link above, these attacks are coming directly from him, not from an organization over which he can pretend to have no control.
