Wonkette

A scrawny mixed-race guy gets the endorsement of a scrawny mixed-race gal...

I hear rich, anorexic, drunken tramps are swing voters.

Isn't she the superdelegate from Trampsylvania?

Ewww, ewww,ewww...I clicked on the "US" magazine site. I thought it was the traditional "More" link. I can't believe I gave them a hit! And now it's on my account history. I'd rather get busted watching porn, or posting on Wonkette.

Years from now, sociologists will point to the examples of Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton to argue that physical attractiveness is a purely social construct, and that individuals that are viewed as glamorous and beautiful in one era can come to be seen as hideous, crass and tacky a few decades later.

A lot of these celebrities are jumping on this trend. The moment I saw George Clooney wearing an Obama bracelet to an awards show I realized, Obama is the new Kabbalah.

@Serolf Divad: Here's to them pointing to the Clintons and saying just that. Right now...

Serolf : we don't need no stinkin years. I think you're overgeneralizing a specific media subset as representative of this era's glamor and beauty. I submit that the majority, i.e., those who are not the demographic consumers of parisite-ista, already hold her skanky rail in disregard.

Bitch be done, gangsta style, with my twin Glock-9s. (So, anybody get Grand Theft Auto IV?)

The Change We Can Scarf Down Now And Yack Up Later

@WadISay: Bitch be gone, what a great idea...

Well that cancels the advantage McCain had going into the general election from Heidi Montag's endorsement.

@Canmon: Except for M. Night Shyamalan, who likes Clinton. He also likes weird scary things, sees dead people and drinks beer.

Mike Easley is all set to endorse Clinton, but this is obviously bigger news.

I will vote for whoever Charlie Manson endorses.

@Godless Liberal: Somehow this is less depressing news.

I totally saw this coming. For weeks I've been poring over Rasumussen's Skank/Non-skank crosstabs.

@Godless Liberal: Oh yea, the tide is turning. I feel it. Hillz is totally gonna ride that crest of Easleymentum into a huge victory in Guam.

@Canmon: @lovethebomb: I think the esteemed sensei's point was that if Simple Life can be accessed from the great data bank/libraries of the future but not our humble Wonkette, then the sociologists 100 years from now will naturally generalize that WE are hideous, crass, and tacky to have allowed such bimbos to reign over our pop culture in the first place. Meh-be. And obviously the future-lings will have higher standards.

Still undeclared:

- Dakota Fanning
- ZZ Top
- Francis the Talking Mule

@elburrito: Nicole's not mixed race, she's Latina. I know it's not needed for political snark, just sayin'.

@wheelie: and John Edwards.

Sheeple, fucking sheeple.

@FloraWay: I am depressed that Nicole Richie votes. But otherwise, yeah.

I'm still holding out for the Chris Crocker's endorsement.

Darehead : possible that. I am, however, naive enuf to think that the future-lings will have traced the slow decline of mass pop culture as the internet gradually built a community of thinking citizens who in turn became the dominant culture.

Nah! JK! Pop culture in the 22nd century will probably consist of more tween reality TV, only more vapid. The decline of western civilization is inevitable, given the corporatocracy's need to keep the public as uninformed and complacent as possible. Given that projection, perhaps future-lings will look upon Paris Hilton as an enigmatic and complex sophisticate.

As an Obama supporter, I hope he will publicly refuse and denounce this endorsement. This is worse than Farrakhan.

@lovethebomb: The dominant species of the 22nd Century will be ants, and Nicole's spindly little arms and legs will still look good to them.

...I say Nicole Richie and Barack Obama start a new version of the simple life. This time they will roam the Bible Belt making fun of those gun toting racist religious nuts all while sipping Perrier water and reading J.K Rawling books to little white children.

@Darehead: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that guy.

Meanwhile, top Austrian sex captor Josef Fritzl has remained tight-lipped over who he will endorse.

Now we begin to see what an Obama cabinet will look like.

I see a Rage Against The Machine endorsement in Barry's future.

@lovethebomb: Yah with your nah. I was trying to do an exegesis of Prof. Divad whose thesis was so bright it had to wear shades. We do tend to look at our parents' yearbooks and congratulate ourselves for improved standards though. But given present regress, future-lings of the world will debate whether to teach about devolution vs. unintelligent design in the classroom/crass-room. That being said, big shoulder pads did make carrying heavy bags a bit easier.

She's 3/4ths... 1/2... 1/3rd a Lady!

Rich morans can sit in the caboose aboard the Hope Train.

Nicole Richie's 15 minutes, or 10 minutes, ended about three years ago. Unless she poses naked for Vanity Fair with her fathers, no one really gives a damn about her anymore.

@Canmon: With regards to Obama being the new Kabbalah - did you know that the letters of "Barack Hussein Obama, Jr." can be rearranged into "Jesus Maharani Back Bro"?

As an older guy, I have to warn you kids. I had a real bad case of coachella in college. I spent a week in front of an oscillating fan with a tube of lanolin and an ice pack nursing my inflamed crotch. Stay away from girls like her.

@AxmxZ: You are evil. Now I'm going to be making anagrams all day. Evil you are, evil.

Who cares about Nicole Richie. What America REALLY wants to know is: Who's Paris Hilton's choice?

@Rob_Peter_to_Pay_Paultard: she's a quarter black, isnt she? Lionel Richie was half black?

@PutinMuscles: She is of Caucasian, Black Creole, and Mexican descent. Lionel adopted her. Her real father was a member of his band and her mother was an employee of Richie's.

@PutinMuscles: and "was half black?" He's still alive.

I forget, which Olsen twin is she again?

@Serolf Divad: "...individuals that are viewed as glamorous and beautiful in one era can come to be seen as hideous, crass and tacky a few weeks later."

Fixed. One must consider the American public's attention span.

God Damn America!

@Lionel Hutz Esq.:
I think that happened when Faux gave her and Show-Me-The-Coochie Hilton a show.
