Dumb Like a Real Fox

Politics / Humor - Is Barack Obama, as a new McCain attack ad suggests, a lightweight celebrity like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton? Or could the opposite be true? Are Britney and Paris bleach blonde brainiacs?

Think about it. Hillary Clinton, a brilliant woman, lost her only run for president. Britney and Paris have yet to lose. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright failed to bring peace to the Middle East. Britney and Paris’ foreign policy records are unblemished.

Maybe it’s time to give Barack Obama credit for walking among giants. John McCain should be honored for his service to his country, but does he have the right stuff to be president? After all, he's never made a sex video in a hotel or exposed his genitalia while staggering out of a car.
