The Celebrity War

In Obama's latest advertisement, he accuses John McCain of being a Washington celebrity. Despite the claims that the campaign is taking a nasty campaign, I have to say that there are worse things than being called a celebrity. I think the back and forth between the campaigns is pretty mild. I haven't seen any ads by McCain referring to Reverend Wright or any Obama ads focused on McCain's involvement in the Keating Five or his cheating on his first wife. It may not be very substantive but I don't think it can be called particularly nasty.
