When fading celebrities complain about the celebrity of fresh celebrities

McCain: The original political celebrity:

It's a striking line of attack for McCain, who's accepted without complaint the "celebrity" epithet from journalists for four decades.

"John's been a celebrity ever since he was shot down," former McCain strategist John Weaver told The Atlantic earlier this week, "whatever that means."

Who does he think he is to portray Obama as a celebrity in a negative way? Oh, the hypocrisy! But he is on his way out (not just due to age, but also due to his despicable behavior over the past several years), and he is peeved that he is not on the top any more. Sorry. Too late.
