...late July, the McCain campaign had demonstrated that it could also shake up the presidential race by deploying outrage's lesser twin: outrageousness. In a set of advertisements for both the Internet and television, the campaign compared Obama to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and even Moses, mocking Obama's "celebrity" in a way that was both controversial and certain to grab lots of free airtime...

This is a man who starts his latest stand-up comedy tour, to be aired on hbo on Nov. 15, by walking out in a cape and crown as giant letters spelling out his first name explode in the background.
