John McCain’s ‘Rebuttal’ to Madonna’s Concert Videos Makes Our Heads Explode

Madonna’s video, which mingled images of McCain, Hitler, and Mugabe, sounds idiotic, but at least she’s not running for President.

In response to Madonna’s perceived “attack,” his campaign issued the following statement:

It’s a disappointing and vulgar attack on John McCain, who has devoted his life to the cause of freedom and the fight against tyranny. But, it’s not surprising that Barack Obama and his fellow celebrities stick together.

So … celebrities are ridiculous and have no political weight, but it’s necessary to respond to a piece of video that plays during a pop concert? (We should also note that this concert also features film segments including the important socioeconomic commentary of one Ms. Britney Jean Spears.)

The best part? After careful consideration, the McCain camp decided that the best outlet to publish their rebuttal would be the Website for Us Weekly, the celebrity magazine.
