See you at the debates, bitches

I am fairly certain that I have never given Paris Hilton more than a passing thought ever. But after seeing her video response to the "white-haired wrinkly dude's" ad that uses her likeness to insult Obama's presidential readiness, I have a new respect for the woman.



For another amusing take on John McCain's gender trouble, check out Women for John McCain. Here's a little gem for you, gleaned from that site:
Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, "Where is that marvelous ape?"

Hee-larious.

For the more straightforward critique, be sure to skim Kate Sheppard's article, "McSexist" in the latest In These Times.

Loves it.

    "wrinkly, white haired dude"...For me, that's already a classic.

  2. I saw this last night too, and for the first time in my life found myself laughing with Paris Hilton rather than at her. Pretty effing brilliant.

  3. At this point, Mccain has to be shaking in his elephant-skin boots if he's getting served up like a chicken dinner from the "bimbo" he is trying to smear. Bravo Paris, Bravo.
