So Team Obama decides to refute Team McCain’s claim that Obama is like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears…by picking Britney Spears’ set designer to design the acceptance speech set. The New York Post reports:

Democrats will kneel before the “Temple of Obama” tonight.

As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party’s nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage – built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears’ last tour. …

“We’ve done Britney’s sets and a whole bunch of rock shows, but this was far more elaborate and complicated and we had to do it in far less time,” said Allen, of RDA Entertainment.

When asked who gets more tempermental — Obama or Spears — he would ony say: “I better not answer that.” Heh.
