So, Johnny starts campaigning from the gutter, and Paris, well...

I don't respect her much, but that had STYLE! :D

She even mentioned his age... Guess he can't do much against her, and if he reacts, he's screwed. If he doesn't, he's only a bit less so. Thanks, Paris!

Jaw...on...floor.

Saw her image being used in a derogatory manner and hit back with full-on satire.

I don't think she's hot, and I can't say I'm even remotely a fan, but dammit, that's a classy step above a lawsuit and funnier than a press conference.

Fair play to the heiress! Huzzah!

According to the article...


The brains behind Hilton's advert were Funnyordie.com contributors Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, who pitched the idea of filming the spot to Hilton.

"She got it that the McCain thing was a low blow," McKay told AFP. "And she felt she didn't want to return it with angry fire, and that this was the best way to respond. It's a playful jab."

Low? It won't be low until somebody's almost sued for libel, and they're usually the one that wins...if I were them, I'd stop at nothing to drag my opponent in to the gutter and keep them there. McCain needs to just keep hammering away with low blows and he'll be rewarded with votes; considering Obama is barely holding a lead in the polls despite a hell of a lot of absolutely cloying media coverage, he'll be in trouble if McCain can find the Willie Horton or tank photo-op necessary to really unload on Obama.

As a long time supporter of Paris, I expect nothing less, she's hot - I'm not so much into her looks but I used to love her on The Simple Life - I know a few girls who play the nonchalance card to a tee, I like that humour, and I think people who profess a hatred of her to be quite sad.

If you do that, you just give your opponent time to launch his own. McCain is doing very well for someone in his position, and if he can drag down Obama's reputation any actual discussion on the issues will be immaterial.

Ultimately, it all boils down to who can make the other guy look worse.

1- I'm rooting AGAINST that senile pustule by the name of McCain.

2- At any rate, my point was that this ad may remind people that he's using attack ads in an unethical way. It may be a hile before McCain can use other such ads WITHOUT people remembering this one.

Since we have a cyclone running through the city today, I've been watching daytime TV, Ellen had John McCain on and lightly grilled him on gay marriage, not nearly enough I thought, he skipped and danced like a man on hot coals though.

Seemed genial enough though, I couldn't bring myself to call him a man of hatred, I just don't agree with his stance nor the people he tends to represent.

John McCain wants to exclude China from his Grand WASP coalition, certainly talked about that.

The USA would love nothing more than the downfall of the CCP and certainly fund channels that have this as their aim.

The CIA funded the KMT back in the day, funded it through proceeds from heroin, which started the entire Golden Triangle, which ironically hit America in terms of exports.

On an unrelated note, the Thai sex industry exploded due to US servicemen on R&R in the 60's/70's - America has caused all sorts of problems in this region.

All of Asia has meddlings from America - do we forget Vietnam? I'm sure John McCain doesn't.

Absolutely, my own country of the UK went to war with China so it could continue its lucrative opium trade, China itself has few scruples in supporting Robert Mugabe in exchange for natural resources, few countries are blameless in terms of foreign affairs and generally only because they don't have the power.

Anyway, this was merely to answer Heikoku's question, I'm not anti-American, I'm anti-crap foreign policy, which McCain's comments about excluding China were.

I suspect Paris Hilton's foreign policy is to help develop high end resorts on tropical beaches, I'm all for it.

And now let me go back to putting ripe fruit and eggs in the sun - just in case the "old dude" McCreepy decides to pay Germany a visit, I'd rather be prepared.

While I agree with you this is a sad commentary on the American voting public. Too caught up in their own lives, or those of US Weekly fame, to actually learn about the candidates. People take a week or less to come up with their decisions based on whatever media source they have available.

Yeah, if all the attention it took was an hour a night one or more times a week to decide who to vote for, I'm sure things would be a bit better. Let's not act like people have to devote a ton of attention to American Idol to make their decisions.

So? She's an heiress and a dilettante, not a trained actress. Vapidity is her schtick, and apparently her birthright, which is why she's so good at it.

Nor can he fire back at Obama, since he had nothing to do with this. He just has to sit there and take it. It's like Obama gets a free shot back at McCain for that dirty little add.

"Cloying media coverage?" Give me a fucking break. Obama gets more coverage, but it sure as hell isn't all positive. McCain scandals normally last a few days at most. Obama scandals always seem to last for months.

Its a tired old example I know, but compare the obssesive multi-month coverage of Reverend Wright to the multi-day coverage of Mr Haggi'(I think that's his name)'s Holocaust comments, and his affiliation with John McCain. The circumstances are remarkably similar: a Presidential candadite is friends with, and receives support from, a religious figure who expresses views which are offensive to main stream America. The degree of support and the closeness of the friendship may not be exactly the same, but there are enough parallels to make the virtual free ride John McCain received on the issue rather incongruous. It is sad that literally the only recollection I have of a journalist asking McCain really tough questions was John Stewart. You know, the comedian.

This isn't March. Obama is no longer the media darling, if indeed he ever was. Clinton had months to drag his name through the mud, and he's been repeatedly hit with flip-flopping allegations since then. Yet people still cling to the lie that the media favors Obama. Ever since Clinton accused them of going easy on him, they've been overcompensating, in the same way that GOP accusations of "Liberal Bias" seems to have driven the mainstream American media ever further to the Right.

Its a tired old example I know, but compare the obssesive multi-month coverage of Reverend Wright to the multi-day coverage of Mr Haggi'(I think that's his name)'s Holocaust comments, and his affiliation with John McCain. The circumstances are remarkably similar: a Presidential candadite is friends with, and receives support from, a religious figure who expresses views which are offensive to main stream America. The degree of support and the closeness of the friendship may not be exactly the same, but there are enough parallels to make the virtual free ride John McCain received on the issue rather incongruous. It is sad that literally the only recollection I have of a journalist asking McCain really tough questions was John Stewart. You know, the comedian.

Sorry, but the degree of support and closeness is very important here. Also, at that point most people didn't know much about Obama, so character pieces on him would be a bigger part of his coverage. While there are similarities, there are legitimate reasons why the coverage was different.

So, Johnny starts campaigning from the gutter, and Paris, well...

I don't respect her much, but that had STYLE! :D

She even mentioned his age... Guess he can't do much against her, and if he reacts, he's screwed. If he doesn't, he's only a bit less so. Thanks, Paris!

That's funny as hell.

"It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain’s "all of the above" approach to America’s energy crisis — including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan," - Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for John McCain

An excellent reaction and another excellent dig at Obama's lack of substance. What is the Obama campaign reaction? Silence. This does more to hurt Obama than help considering this celebutard has a far better policy recommendation than he does.

But of course substance doesn't mean much to people who dislike a candidate merely because of their age. Clearly old people should be barred from public office.

It's a bit too obvious, I would have cut her reading the magazine and added in a few more digs at McCain to make it a bit punchier.

Still though, I like Paris Hilton. There ain't no-one who's taken the piss out of their public persona as much and as well as she has.

Way to play the age card, and straight up too.

Dit it ever occur to you that my disliking of McCain might be tied to his willingness to go on an useless, immoral, WRONG war that's killed countless people, including your own? Did it ever occur to you that my disliking of McCain might be tied to his willingness to let corporations rape America in the ass with a chainsaw? Did it ever occur to you that these issues might not have anything to do with that sod's age? And did it ever occur to you that I might call him senile not because of his age but because he's SHOWING SYMPTOMS of senility?

NO! Because you're TSF, and in your world, there are Republicans and "US-haters", which is your code-word to "anyone that disagrees with me".

I am playing the age card? Because this quote is from you:

Makes it sound like this was the most ultimate burn.

Oh yes, I am sure that you have many fabricated and unwarranted reasons to hating McCain. I was just making note of your ageism.

Did it ever occur to you that my disliking of McCain might be tied to his willingness to let corporations rape America in the ass with a chainsaw?

Indeed, raping America in the ass with a chainsaw is a bad thing. Yet that is not what McCain is going to do. Obama, on the other hand, has had no difficulty telling us how he is going to punish corporations for being successful. In the end, that is the process that will impact the American economy.

Did it ever occur to you that these issues might not have anything to do with that sod's age?

Many people have issues with McCain, so do I. However, his age is not an issue to me that it seems to be for you.

And did it ever occur to you that I might call him senile not because of his age but because he's SHOWING SYMPTOMS of senility?

Pray tell, what are these symptoms? Tiredness? Stumbling over words? Seems to me that Obama is suffering from senility! Poor guy, it happened so early in his life.

NO! Because you're TSF, and in your world, there are Republicans and "US-haters", which is your code-word to "anyone that disagrees with me".

Oh man, are you going all "boo-hoo" on me again?

I will not be voting for McCain this election but against Obama. Being a Libertarian I cannot possibly vote for Obama. I disagree with many Republicans and can agree with things some Democrats speak. It all depends on what the facts say and what reality is. You speak the Obama dogma and only the Obama dogma and I can readily disagree with most things you say on the matter.

1- I'm pointing that out because McCain has been VERY touchy about his age, to the point of crying ageism when Obama said he was losing his bearings, something that has squat to do with the fact that that unperson is a septuagenarian.

2- I'd vote for any 72-year old Democrat over McCain. You don't want to argue, you want an audience that tells you that Obama is indeed an "ebil mozlem" bent on destroying the "American" (not the American, the "American") values of enfoced conformity, unwarranted war and police statism. As such, I have no obligation to answer to you anymore. Go talk to those morons at Fox News, they might be more to your liking.

Also, the only one between us that has a grasp on reality is ME.

If anything, the greater closeness of Obama's relationship with Wright works in his favor. One is more likely to stick by someone they don't nessissarily agree with if they are an old friend. Personally I was glad that he didn't just ditch Wright for political expediency, but only when Wright stabbed him in the back. Do we really need a President who will gladly ditch a 20 year friend for some gains at the poles?

And yes, their was a reason for "character pieces" on Obama. That doesn't make them flattering ones. My original point was that overt media favoritism towards Obama was largely a myth.

Unperson? Obama brings up race at the drop of a hat. Racism, ageism, blah... You still pointed out the totally awesome age comments.

Oh please, where have I ever said Obama was a Muslim. He is fond of using Christianity as a political tool, not Islam.

And you never had any obligation before to answer me but I do like the reference to Fox News. It shows you really have nothing left.

Also, the only one between us that has a grasp on reality is ME.

I will let your posts do the talking.

1- Yes, unperson. That's right, I called John McCain an unperson. I denied and keep denying his condition as a human being, not because he's old, but because he's John McCain. Now will you answer the point I made that he used his age as a cudgel by deliberately misinterpreting remarks by Obama, and that I went on to point out that Miss Hilton invoked his age to show how much SHE could do after he used her image unethically or will you go ahead and concede it?

2- The Republican Party is synonym with "Christianity as a political tool".

3- Nope, it shows that you are liable to find their notion of reality more to your precious taste.

4- Ditto.
