Seems Mr Cafferty sees it the way I do. Note the hesitation after "piece of...". Totally stolen from Al Rodgers, but that gives me an excuse to tell you to go over there and look at the glorious pictures he's accumulated of all things Obama. Don't worry, I'll be using some of those pics soon.
CAFFERTY: I'd be willing to make you a bet. If you added up all of the people who have attended every political event John McCain has held since the campaign started, the number would not get to 200,000, which is the number of people that watched Barack Obama speak in Berlin.
That ad that he put out is nothing more than the same jealousy he displayed last week when Obama was on this tour.
McCain went to Canada, Mexico and Colombia. And the only thing I remember about any of those three trips or visits was some hostages got released one day while he was in Colombia. It had nothing to do with McCain being there.
So, you know, Obama is getting a lot of attention and McCain doesn't like it. It's jealousy.
But at the beginning of the campaign he said -- this is the guy who rides around on something called the Straight Talk Express -- this will not be that kind of a campaign. We're going to keep it on the high road. We're going to talk about the issues. And he's come out with one snarky, low rent piece of television after another.
Now, that being said, McCain's running on short money.
So how do you compensate?
You put out these goofy commercials with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in them and then people like us run them over and over and over again for free.
