In case anyone was thinking that, amidst all the Mccain/Clinton piling on Barack Obama over his 'bitter' comments, that the Illinois senator can't pander to some stereotype of bue collar America, think again. We're talking County Music Television, Miley Cyrus, and no shame.
That said, McCain saying "I think you know why I'm calling" to Miley Cyrus may be the most inadvertently creepy moment in politics since Bob "easy, boy" Dole and the Britney Spears Pepsi ad.
