Important news from the Wonkette Inbox(!): “Today on TNR.com, Dayo Olopade offers the definitive fact-check of Paris Hilton’s energy recommendations in her new ‘campaign’ video. While Hilton’s video is perhaps a humorous response to McCain’s recent ‘celebrity’ ad featuring her likeness, Olopade concludes that even Paris, alas, gets the facts wrong on offshore drilling.” While this seems like the perfect setup for a Rick Roll, or a blinking screen that says “No Shit,” Mr. Olopade did, in fact, write this article challenging Paris Hilton’s claims. What’s next? Jamie Kirchick’s imaginary response? UPDATE: Oh dear, someone e-mails to say that it is actually “Ms.” Olopade, which we strongly considered Googling to confirm, but now we’re just racist. [TNR]

Coincidence? Or mass delusion?

iwillsavethispatient August 6, 2008 at 2:52 pm

But wait, wasn’t the whole joke that Paris’ policy actually is the so-called “Gang of 10″ bi-partisan Senators’ plan? i.e. the plan that probably will happen.

AngryBlakGuy August 6, 2008 at 2:54 pm

…so when is he going to write an article debating the “Mutant Registration Act” from X-Men comic book?

villageatrois August 6, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Hey, Paris… beating up Munchkin McCain on energy just makes you a bully.

P.S. Pump ‘em up, honey, like Barack said.

Wagamuffin August 6, 2008 at 2:57 pm

I’m no Margaret Mead (I only play her on television) but even a basic study of human behaviour and fellow Wonkette participation-observation leads me to the following conclusions:

Guys who sit behind their computers and crack wise about Ms. Hilton, actually have a deep rooted biological desire to do her, regardless of any historical ditz factor heretofore diplayed;

Those who, in the last La Hilton post, gave her the benefit of the doubt, or expressed surprise/delight/forgiveness because of this performance REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to do her and;

She may be shallow, but she can actually be quite clever. This circle is indeed the hardest aspect of female human existence for the brothers to square. And thus, the mystery of the fairer sex rages on.

BTW, I look like Paris. But I have the intellect of Madeline Albright. Which is probably, in the realm of natural selection, a better deal for me.

John McCain is 102.

[re=53242]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Paris has a “gang of 10″ plan? Are you sure it’s bi-partisan and not bisexual? “gang of ten”…That sounds brutal and sloppy. I’d certainly hate to be bachelor number 10. Oh well, she looks strong- she can take it.

MUST POINT OUT OBVIOUS IDIOCY:

WALNUTS will not take celebrities very seriously, like he said. WALNUTS compares Obama to celebrity. Celebrity pwns WALNUTS. WALNUTS fires back at said celebrity.

The winning strategy! WALNUTS is officially giving Paris Hilton legitimacy.

Shush, Mr Olopade! Given the size of her family’s yacht, I think Paris is quite the expert in offshore drilling.

Good Day to you, Sir!

Outstando August 6, 2008 at 3:04 pm

[re=53252]Wagamuffin[/re]: Paris is road kill. I want to win the election, so it’s better to contrast corruption/whorishness versus innocence than it is to contrast age versus youth. She’s funny, sure, but I could give a fuck.

Oh the delicious irony — Paris Hilton’s energy recommendations actually make some sense.
What does that say about our political culture when an airhead pseudo-celeb can so easily become a policy wonk?

Wagamuffin August 6, 2008 at 3:08 pm

It does say something that TNR takes Paris Hilton more seriously than John McCain.

PARIS HILTON FOR PRESIDENT!

Canuckledragger August 6, 2008 at 5:42 pm

PLEASE stop running that photo. Are you trying to ruin blowjobs for the het males here? Because Paris Hilton is likely the only woman I can think of who can suck a popsicle and make it look nasty and fraudulent.

[re=53252]Wagamuffin[/re]: Count me out of the Paris-wanting demo. Looking like her is no crime, but being a spoiled, narcissistic, talent-less, vacuous waste of skin isn’t very ingratiating. So, go ahead and look like her all ya want, kid, but don’t behave as she does. [Even the twat-flashing thing.... though maybe you could pull it off, so to speak.]

Vewol Mevemont August 6, 2008 at 5:42 pm

[re=53252]Wagamuffin[/re]: I’m no Wagamuffin, but I think you’ve arrived at a fascinating conclusion: most guys have a deep-rooted biological desire to have sex with attractive (even mildly attractive) women. This will be the subject of my upcoming phd thesis “Men like having sex with women.” Wish me luck!

Vewol Mevemont August 6, 2008 at 5:45 pm

[re=53476]Canuckledragger[/re]: Nonsense. Twat flashing is classy. You, sir, wouldn’t know class if landed on your lap and gyrated rhythmically about your crotch.

[re=53476]Canuckledragger[/re]: Well, of course this is a satirical site, sweet homeboy (clue to you too, Fear of a Black Reagan–though I have been told the resemblance to Kim Cattrall is positively eerie). Vacuous, never. Vacuuming, sometimes—especially when the dust bunnies start to replicate. And of COURSE I will keep my thighs firmly glued until a really great offer comes along.
Um, doing anything later tonight?

[re=53534]Wagamuffin[/re]: BWaHAhahAHaHAa. Heh. As for me, I look like David Niven and have the intellect of Albert Einstein. Alas, that buys very little these days. Except in the math department, of course, where I can calculate Christoffel symbols like nobody’s business with a debonair flare while holding a dirty martini (Grey Goose).

I’m lying, of course. Christoffel symbols are complete bastards to do.
