“[Paris] Hilton’s response is now the top story on Google News, and apparently the McCain campaign is receiving so many media requests about it, that they had to post a response on their website. They have gotten into a spat with Paris Hilton, which there is basically no way to win. Hilton has nothing to lose, and the back and forth just highlights the frivolic idiocy of McCain’s recent attacks.”
It’s not so much that I don’t have a joke here–and I don’t–as I don’t have a clue, anymore. I’ve read most of the classics of campaign literature going back to Theodore White’s The Making of the President, and none of it prepared me for Paris Hilton going on Funny or Die and pwning the possible future president of the United States. And it making the public debate over who will lead our country more substantial than it had been previously. When Funny or Die is doing David Axelrod’s job better than him, we are in strange times.
