McCain Website Scrubbed Article Calling Him "Political Celebrity", Campaign Forgets About Google

Guest post by debrazza

In another edition of you can't make this up.  McCain's own website referred to him as a "political celebrity".

A political celebrity, McCain is considered a top contender for the nomination.

But...since this is self-defeating and contrary to their line of attack against Obama, they thought they could just delete from their website and it would disappear.  Don't these folks know about Google Cache?

Can someone explain to me again exactly why John McCain has a reputation for being a "maverick" or "straight talker"?  This is now getting pathetic.

Update from Jed (5:10PM on 8/2/08): Here's a funny new wrinkle on this story (originally reported by Crooks & Liars): he appeared in "Wedding Crashers" -- and I'm pretty sure he appeared in 24. Also, Politico is picking up on C&L's meme in a new article here.
