Better Than The Onion
They just make it so easy.
When Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., moves the Democratic National Convention from the Pepsi Center to Invesco Field in Denver on Thursday, the freshman senator is planning to speak from a columned stage resembling an ancient Greek temple.
“Is this from the Onion?” quipped a McCain adviser.
The reference to the satirical newspaper came after Reuters reported that Obama is planning an elaborate rock concert setup complete with post-speech fireworks.
The national anthem will even have a touch of celebrity: Jennifer Hudson, the Oscar-winning actress and former “American Idol” castoff, will perform the honors at the onset of the evening.
Starting with a July ad which included footage of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, the McCain campaign has been airing a series of television ads which paint Obama as a celebrity lacking in substance.
The celebrity-like trappings of Obama’s Thursday’s speech may have given the Republicans new ammo.
Just when you think they can’t get more ridiculous, they do. Somebody might start, you know, poking fun at all this Obama worship, and wouldn’t that be awful?
