John McCain pushed back, hard, as he should and hopefully will again and again. There have been lots of occasions over the years to disagree with Senator McCain, but no one has ever before accused him or running a dishonorable, racist campaign, and his anger is genuine. The accusation of racism is a slander, and McCain won't put up with it, nor will most voters. Obama's sensitivity to being compared with light weights Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton --"fame without portfolio" is how McCain surrogate Lindsey Graham put it in noting the tie that binds the trio-- led him to throw down the race card, an unforced error on his part, worse even than the demonstration of empty-suitedness with his "inflate your tires to energy freedom" baffler.

I find that line intriguing...
Many seem insulted that McCain used charcter comparisons of Obama to people like Paris Hilton...
But what many don't know is that the comparison of Obama to Paris Hilton was used long before McCain used it...
"By who?" you may ask?..
Well...That would be one Barack Obama himself!!...

"Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame," says Barack Obama. "I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."
