Busted! McCain's own website called him a political celebrity---until they scrubbed it.
Edited on Thu Jul-31-08 10:39 PM by trumad
The 2006 midterm campaign had just ended when McCain took the first formal step toward a presidential run in November. He formed an exploratory committee and gave a speech casting himself as a "common-sense conservative" in the vein of Ronald Reagan who could lead the party back to dominance after a dreadful election season by returning to the GOP's core principles.

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

6. It's actually pretty funny--McCain is famous for his POW story, not for his
achievements in life. If anyone is the empty celebrity, it's the man who married his sugar mama and built his whole career on something that happened 40 years ago that he had little control over.
