McCain Advisor Attacks Obama Daughters

Martin Eisenstadt, an advisor to John McCain and former Giuliani consultant is apparently as desperate as the McCain Campaign itself. So much so that he has taken to insulting the Obama girls over musicians that they happen to like.

OK, I hope we're not reading too much into this, but in the course of responding to media requests regarding the Jonas Brothers keffiyeh controversy, one of my interns alerted me to a story in the Indian press that revealed that Barack Obama's daughters are big fans of the keffiyeh-wearing Jonas Brothers. All I can say is, "Oy."

Now, I'm not one of those McCain supporters who believes in perpetuating ugly innuendos about Barack Obama's faith or even his middle name. I believe Senator McCain can win in November fair and square. But....

First Meghan McCain wears a few mis-chosen keffiyehs, and next the Obama girls will be spotted wearing Che Guevara t-shirts. At this rate, it may not matter who wins the election: the Jonas Brothers will play the inaugural ball, Miley Cyrus will be showering in the Lincoln bedroom and Chief Justice Roberts will terror-fist bump whoever he swears in over the Koran. Makes me wish for the days when the Beatles were the biggest threat to national security.

Republicans are no longer capable of taking on people their own size. They have to attack someone attending elementary school. Oh wait, some of us were accused of the same thing when we criticized Dan Quayle. Martin, grow up and find someone else to pick on.
