Wall Street is in meltdown mode, the economy is in tatters (according to Obama) and Barack “I’m no celebrity” Obama is off to Beverly Hills for a $28,500 a plate fund raiser (when Obama abandons a pledge to take public financing, he goes all the way!) where Barbra Streisand will no doubt explain that a McCain administration will dilute the gamut of goodness in the universe.

Update: A reader suggests:

Something like:
“When a hurricane threatened New Orleans, John McCain and the Republicans cancelled a day of their convention, and directed their supporters to help pay for relief to the threatened city. When a financial hurrican threatens Wall Street and Main Street, what does Obama do? Direct his celebrity supports to help pay . . . HIM.”
