Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin was less than pleased by the McCain campaign's embracement of the Daddy Yankee endorsement.
At her blog, Malkin blasted it as "another pathetic McCain pander."
"Can someone, anyone, in the McCain camp stop him from self-immolation?" Malkin asks. "Can the open-borders GOP establishment drive a bigger wedge between the conservative base and the GOP ticket?"
Malkin mocks McCain citing an attack ad his campaign issued against Obama: "Celeb-u-pocrisy, anyone?"
Some commenters at Malkin's blog agreed that this was a major gaffe by the McCain campaign, and they were particularly irked because Yankee has also been an "outspoken critic of immigration enforcement."
"Daddy Yankee has also recorded with and performed live with Akon and uses the N word in almost all of his songs," one commenter complained.
Another one wrote, "Performing with Snoop dogg should have raised a few eyebrows with his advisors, that scumbag was arrested here in the valley not long ago on gun and dope charges."
