Britney Camp Bristles At McCain Ad

What does Britney Spears think about being included along with Paris Hilton in John McCain's latest political ad?

A representative from the 42West public relations firm declined to make a substantive comment to the Huffington Post, saying only, "why would we want to get Britney Spears involved in presidential politics?"

Sane enough. Rick Davis, perhaps you can answer that one?

Bad timing and really bad choice.

[Tyrus]

What a klutzy ad! McCain should be underscoring his own positives not reframing Obama's -- and using such powerful images of Obama while he fails is insane!

[Jamchinadian]

The irony is - those ladies have higher IQs than McDunce who, by his own admission, was ranked 894th out of his class of 899. He seemed not the least bit embarrassed to admit that.

[straybill]

Oops! He did it again;)

[ProgressiveBum]

maybe the geezer is shopping for a replacement for Cindy.

[AnnieinOR]

yeah, he seems to like the blonde bimbo look

[pupbayer]

Where is Scarlett Johansson anyway?

[lolyla]

It seems Britney has some people with brains now on her side. You go, girl!

McCain is willing to trash two young American ladies so that he can benefit from their humiliation. I think this is a disrespect to all women. It is outrageous.

Compared to all the self-inflicted humiliation Paris has put herself through, being mentioned in a McCain ad is pretty insignificant. Once you've had homemade porn videos leaked to the internet, it's pretty hard to top yourself. I don't think referencing the vacuousness of PH is anywhere near a universal insult to all women, any more than acknowledging that Pee Wee Herman is kinda creepy is an insult to all men. Women are not some collective, like the Borg on Star Trek. It is possible to have opinions and feelings about individuals that don't automatically carry over to an entire gender, for Christs sake.

Who was the last Republican tied to Britney Spears???

Oh yeah..Bob Dole.

How prescient.

[justmeinAz]

I wish I was tied to Britney Spears.

[PrincessZelda]

Me too. As long as I could get loose when I wanted to.
(;>P

[birchswinger]

Would McCain have to have paid Britney and Paris for using footage of them in the ad?

I don't care so much about Paris, but Britney is getting her life back on track, and so including her was just plain stupid and mean.

[RJII]

its clear now, McCain doesn't want to win.

Oops! McCain campaign didn't realize that Paris Hilton's parents maxed out their contributions to his campaign.
This is how he repays donors.

" Paris Hilton's parents maxed out their contributions to his campaign."

Yeah, they also disinherited Paris.

I'm guessing they don't really care.

[JiminNC]

I think that was her granpa, he with the purse strings.

[TXOBAMAGIRL73]

They also didn't make her finish HS, so what does that tell you about them??

[S1m0n]

It's good to know that a former Monty Python has a load more couth than John McCain, the man who thinks he could be president.

Biden, Kaine, Britney, Paris...Hm­m. Obama/Spears 08

[PrincessZelda]

Maybe she could be in the Cabinet as Secretary of Depants.

[whatsthatsound]

Does that mean there won't be a McCain/Spears "Toxic" tour?
Shucks.

[tlgeiger62]

You call that bristling?!
