Really?

Could someone remind the McCain campaign that he is running for president of the United States? I mean, come on, I thought the Brittany ad was stupid and beneath a serious presidential campaign, but this reads like something the Onion would do.

My question is this: do the pundits parroting this crap* (or instigating it) believe the words coming from their mouths, or do they have a contest every day to see if they can get the topic seriously discussed on other shows and believed by their viewers / readers? This is almost as bad as the "terrorist fist bump" in levels of idiocy.

I guess McCain is going to accept the nomination in a room decorated with no more than 2 balloons and an American flag.
