Roberta McCain Chimes In On Britney-Paris Ad

Sen. John McCain may be "proud" of the Paris Hilton/Britney Spears ad released this week, but his feisty 96-year-old mother apparently disagrees.

Roberta McCain was a featured guest at a McCain campaign event on Thursday afternoon at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. The Huffington Post obtained some audio of an exchange after the event where Mrs. McCain is asked about the Paris Hilton ad.

"Oh, well, I didn't see it -- I think it's kinda stupid," she says. "I'm just too old-hat for it. In fact, the other two, I didn't even know who they were. I knew who Paris Hilton was, but then there were other two young girls..." (Someone informed Mrs. McCain that there were only two women in the ad, and that the other was Britney Spears.)

Within a few moments, Roberta was back on message. An acquaintance noted the statement from Rick Davis that was "going to be in the headlines tomorrow," criticizing Obama "for injecting racism into the campaign."

"Oh, he definitely did," Roberta responded.

Just look at that nervous smile on McCreepy's face. He knows his mom is an outspoken old biddy and he is silently praying she doesn't say something "wrong".

And by wrong, you of course mean telling the truth about how low rent McOld has become.

If I didn't know better I would swear he goes to bed at night with a coat hanger in his mouth so he doesn't lose the grin.

I've said it before, but he totally reminds me of those films that they used to show kids in kindergaten......ya you know the ones. "Stranger Danger". He would be one of those the kids is supposed to be running away from screaming at the top of their lungs.
