The Law of Unintended Consequences

So John McStrange airs a campaign ad that compares Obama to Paris Hilton; the implication being that he is also a celebrity for no reason (other than being on law review at Harvard Law School, a law professor at the University of Chicago, an Illinois state Senator, a US Senator and a bestselling author, you know, lightweight shit like that).

Seems like funny stuff. But it turns out that Paris Hilton has a lot of relatives who have given a ton of money to the GOP, in the "many tens of thousands of dollars" range, and they have also given buckets of cash to the McCain campaign. They are not at all amused. And they are making their displeasure known to the McCain campaign.

Smooth move, guys. Look for a few more sacrificial terminations.
