Kathy wrote, “I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign. It is a complete waste of the country’s time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States.”

I don’t understand all the negativity towards this ad. Is it because he chose two of the most unstable celebrities as examples? Would the reaction have been different had he shown Angelina Jolie or Bono instead? I like the ad and I do not feel that my time and attention have been wasted. Unlike my tax dollars that were wasted on Paris Hilton’s jail time.
