When the celebrity ad came out this week, one of McCain's advisors pronounced "that their research showed Brittany and Paris to be the #2 and #3 celebrities in the world."
"What we decided to do is find the top three international celebrities in the world, and I would say from our indications, Britney and Paris came in second and third," said campaign manager Rick Davis.
What happened to Muhammed Ali?
And when was he knocked off the "most recognizable" mountaintop? He was historically always #1 !!!
A paragraph from Bob Herbert's Running on Black op ed this morning provided the clue....
Now, from the hapless but increasingly venomous McCain campaign, comes the slimy Britney Spears and Paris Hilton ad. The two highly sexualized women (both notorious for displaying themselves to the paparazzi while not wearing underwear) are shown briefly and incongruously at the beginning of a commercial critical of Mr. Obama.
McCain's advisor's were searching free porn !!
That's right, Paris Hilton "exposed" and Britney Spears going commando for the papparazzi are what drove their "page/view" numbers into the stratosphere.
Ergo, they are second and third on whatever search engine McCainInc.org uses on their Compaq's, (and that might just be AskJeeves, as technosavvy as their leeder McCain)
A short diary, but just another example of Republican campaign mathematics.
It would be nice if one of you numbers wonks would prove my thesis !!!!
