I admire Paris Hilton. While her life circumstances have been far from difficult, she has taken an identity that society despises and made something of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Profound. Where do you start with a statement so brimming with stupidity?<\/p>\n

Paris Hilton didn’t take<\/em> an identity that society despises. She doesn’t personify<\/em> an identity that society despises. She is<\/em> the identity that society despises.\u00a0She invented it and the fact that it was by design, having nothing else to\u00a0occupy her time, is hardly a station to be celebrated.<\/p>\n

Paris\u00a0was conceived where wealth and neglect meet. She is the product of the Cream of the Crap in America.<\/p>\n

She did not turn to lawyers when the embarrassing sex tapes surfaced, but instead “went with the flow” of her notoriety and became one of the world’s foremost celebrities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course she didn’t turn to lawyers. They were undoubtedly consulted, along with others, as to the best means, media and timing of their release. She profited by the strategic use of her genitalia (is it okay to say that here Mitch?).<\/p>\n

It never ceases to amaze me how celebrity is oft equated with credibility in our culture.<\/p>\n

She’s a “foremost celebrity.” Is that sort of like “wholesome feces?”<\/p>\n

At its peril has the John McCain campaign learned to trifle with Paris. She’s back in the spotlight with a rebuttal to the TV ad and her energy plan, which is said to be superior in ways to those which the presidential candidates have presented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.<\/p>\n

Surely her rebuttal was a non-plus to the McCain campaign, who (I’m chuckling at the choice of words) trifled<\/em> with Paris, but I am equally sure that Obama’s campaign suffered even further as the questions it begged of him were answered with…with…with…um…(sorry it escapes me).<\/p>\n

Yes, she is, as she says of herself, “hot.” Not bad for a day’s work while soaking up the sun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paris is\u00a0a broken bat. You got no shot with Paris, Bill. Go back to your People<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
