McCartney, MTV Europe Award Fete Obama

Sir Paul McCartney gave Barack a shout out as he picked up the Ultimate Legend Award at the 2008 European MTV Awards last night, appropriately held in Liverpool. McCartney's praising of our new President earned this headline from MSNBC: "McCartney mentions Obama at MTV awards."

Isn't it amazing that Paul can grab a news headline for merely mentioning Obama in an MTV award speech? I'm a fan of both men, but come on. On the other hand, Katy Perry, of "I Kissed A Girl" fame (the show's host), stuffing her curves into one those Obama mini-dresses is definitely headline material!
