What are the Repubs thinking? Someone needs to teach them about "safe YouTube."
First, the RNC's "parody" about Obama in Germany (which also features David Hasselhoff) is actually just damn funny in...OK, I'll say it...a positive way for Obama.
Someone needs to tell the McCain people that a "parody" isn't supposed to make people laugh at the people who are making the "parody."

Has someone told them that calling Obama a celebrity isn't necessarily a bad thing...that people spend millions of dollars on tabloids and magazines tracking the movements of celebrities?

When it comes to just about everything about Sen. McCain's campaign, he has not chosen wisely.
