In response to criticism of his "Celebrity" ad, all the the McCain Campaign had to say is that it was "entertaining".
What people need to be asking McCain is this:
Americans are losing their very homes due to the economic crisis. Oil is at an all time high, and we have young men and women DYING in a war that the majority of the country does not want to be in, and all your campaign can do is crack jokes?
Edit
Also, I love how they say right in the commercial that he's the biggest celebrity in the world.
Think about that for a second.
The world hates America. We all know this. Yet they are all in favor of this man becoming America's president. The McCain campaign is eager to tell you the world loves him....
What a jackass.

One's a hardcore conservative who's occasionally strayed, and the other is a Democrat who's (*gasp*) inspirational, and has detailed plans on what to do to fix things.
You can say you disagree with Obama's policies, but trying to make it sound like they're outlandish, or nonexistent just means you're pushing a party line. In fact, the very party line MG is expressing frustration with.
@MarineGunrock:
You should take a look at this article at Politico, particularly the second update with the McCain campaign's response to the clip Paris Hilton put out. Apparently he sees it as an endorsement.
As for compromise, what heckling he's taken from the left has been because he's signaled that he'll compromise on some of his platform.
In truth, I fully expect that none of this stuff will get passed as-is with no compromise. All policy positions indicate are targets they're steering for...at best.
I like the targets, though, and I don't think any are unreasonable to the point of "fantasy".
Obama says he'll withdraw troops from Iraq. But he'll keep them there if terrorist organizations are still there. Well the War attracted those like flies to honey. That is a contradiction.
He says he wants to reduce welfare. Yet he supports it and was opposed to welfare reforms brought to the senate to reduce it. That is a contradiction.
He says he won't take public funds. Then he does. That is a contradiction.
He takes credit for passing a health care bill he never voted on.
He can't decide how his past should go together.
If you support him, that's fine. I think we're just as screwed no matter who gets the job. But don't tell me he doesn't deal in contradictions. Because he is a politician and therefore must lie. He just does it more eloquently then most.
Politics is always the choosing of the lesser evils.
Hope you pay attention to the contradictions from McCain too, and see which one seems more contradictory, especially if you're planning on voting for McCain.
For example, have you heard about what McCain did with campaign finance in the primary? You should look at that before condemning Obama's decision to forego public funds, so he could continue to raise most of his money from small donations through the internet (average donation was $68 last month).
