State of Change

McCain Will Always Have Paris

posted by John Nichols on 08/05/2008 @ 10:13pm

John McCain's campaign suggested that Barack Obama was a political pop tart, going so far as to compare the Democratic candidate for president with Paris Hilton.

The latest polls have Obama opening up a lead nationally and in a number of battleground states.

But it's worse than that.

Now, the Republican who would be president finds himself in the unenviable position of being ridiculed -– quite effectively -- by a woman who is commonly referred to as a "celebutard."

"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity too -- only I'm not from the olden days and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot!" begins the spoof-video featuring the blonde socialite reclining poolside in a leopard-print bathing suit.

"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president," she says. "So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I'm, like, totally ready to lead."

To prove the point, Hilton offers an energy plan to rival anything T. Boone Pickens has to offer: "We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. ... Energy crisis solved, I'll see you at the debates, bitches!"

Hilton offers her vice-presidential shortlist -- "I'm thinking Rihanna" – and closes with: "Ill see you at the White House. Oh, and I might paint it pink."

Points to Paris on this one.

But none to McCain's campaign, which actually responded to the video by trying to make a joke about Hilton having a better energy plan than Obama.

Do they really think anyone who watched the video was thinking about environmental oversight or hybrids – instead of laughing at the "wrinkly white-haired guy" line?

    Bullshit, FRANK. As the numerous posts form "that was then, this is now"...you attacked McCain with much fervor...once going so far as to "regretably agreeing with Limbaugh" and saying that McCain was "mentally unbalanced"!

    All you care about is...her. Getting 2012, her last shot, open for ...her and using poor ol' Maverick John and RUINING this country for another 4 years in your weird-ass obsession with a female politican who wouldn't likely walk across the street to pee on you if you were on fire.

    You want McCain elected...if it means throwing out ALL your previoius stances on the issues and on McCain himself to do it...you will.

    But again, it's not about him...it's about your "Annie Wilkes" mentality over Hillary.

  8. I truly apologize for calling Paris an "air head". That's what happens when one makes judgment based on information gleaned from the media.This gal is really sharp. She really is competitive with T. Boone Pickens. She is most certainly intellectually competitive with McCain.

  9. even a closed circuit slinging match between court jesters (FrankGrits and MaskDelta) doesn't waylay the dignity of the nation or its blog, surely. I saw the attack ad (agin McCain) whose URL is posted in this thread, and can see how the tennis match momentum of these things builds.

    "attacking a senior citizen" as frankgrits writes is the sort of phrase that does tend to reveal he would actually be a (ex) Clinton staffer... 50s mentality gets the attention it deserves...if McCain could generate some real life Arnie Vinick credibility (West Wing character played by Alan Alda), then he would merit better quality debate and flak from his opponents. As to surviving torture (by VietCong) is certainly heroic, but if it is indicative of "an American hero", then I am sure there would be many more such patriots in future, given the Rumsfeld-Cheney doctrine on redefining torture, against Geneva conventions.

  10. As the youngsters say McCain dissed Paris, then McCain got served.

    What should one do when a candidate indicates his opponent is just as vapid and shallow as you are? A tough old fashioned American girl fights back. Bravo Paris, I take back half the mean things I've said. If you stop saying "That's hot" I may take back the rest of them.

    That's a GREAT idea!

    The wrinkly white-hair guy is at it again, distorting Obama's effective ad that shows McSame pushing big oil's agenda of more off-shore drilling.

    Everyone knows that this oil wouldn't be available for at least 10 years (if found) and will be sold at MARKET PRICES and not at a discount.

    The off-shore drilling scheme is all about big oil making more record profits while everyone else suffers!

  14. McCain is no hero; he's a bad joke, and Obama needs to attack him by making fun of him. This was really pretty funny, and I hope it's indicative of what's to come.

  15. Run this by me again. McCain, war hero?

    He finishes 5th from the bottom of his class. Gets preferential treatment because his father and grandfather were very important warriors. Crashed about four planes before getting blown out of the sky while on his way to kill innocent Vietnamese. Saved from drowning (you cannot do the backstroke with a broken arm) and had his ass kicked, before being rescued, a second time, from the ass kickers.

    Then he spills his guts and gets special treatment. He could have come home earlier, but since it is first-in first-out, we would have known for sure that he spilled his guts to the Vietcong, earning the title "songbird."

    He wasn't tortured, otherwise he wouldn't be for torture now.

    Hero my ass.

    Not hard to do.

    Wait till those debates. McC will get a sympathy bounce from morons all over the place.

    BTW: McC was never a captive of the VietCong (South VN insurgent force), but of the North VN army, the military of a sovereign govt.

  17. While Paris' video is amusing, the central message is: "you're right, you're too old to be a celebrity". A generation's repudiation taking care not to directly endorse Obama so her image will not be deteriorated in the right. But other than a publicitary ad it does not have any value.

    What is really the context is McCain trying to reduce Obama to a light headed amateur while he portrays himself as a rough and rugged 'General' speaking nuclear, bombing Iran, and getting more enemies than friends.

    Obama - and Dems - must stop this. Unmask him for what he really is: a warmonger and economics nonsensical.

    Where is the commentary on the trivialization of political discourse in the US? Where is the analysis of how the virtual world of the media blurs into the arguably real world of the political? Just how virtual is the US political world? Where, fergawdsake, is John Berger or Milton Friedman? What about some reflection? Or have we all wandered so deep into the house of mirrors that we can no longer have any idea at all of what's going on?

  20. Just a bit of a blog for my puma sisters; those of you who think that McCain is the Man due to Clinton not winning the nomination, I just want to point out a few recent observations.

    Now we all know that McCain has call Cindy a c**t before. Shocking though it may be, we have all gotten used to the idea that he has a hot head and is ready to lash out at the drop of a hat!! (Just the quality Republicans like in a POTUS), now we have new evidence of the way he views women. And I want you to think about this in the context of Obama's candidacy, and think about this in the context of Main Street Media double standards.

    McCain, and his well funded puppeteers decide to go negative. They need to target Obama's strengths. They need to target Obama's authenticity. So how do they do that? They exploit young women who have had "issues" in the past. Young women that most adult women know have been maligned by the media--yes, even Keith Olbermann--and used in a mocking fashion. Well, with the newsertainmant momentum of our media, it is somewhat understandable. However, for a paternalistic, grandfatherly type presidential candidate to permit the exploitation of young ladies to advance his political agenda, is just plain icky. Yuck. And to hear Lieberman say, "just enjoy it," is even ickier.

    Wow. That's the judgment that they are trying to sell us. Wow.

    In addition, you put McCain in the middle of a bunch of South Dakotan biker dudes, and how does he decide to connect and relate to them? On gas prices, our jobs going overseas, the reemerging issues of the Iraq war and how they connect with the Vietnam war? No. Our paternalistic, knows what's best for us, grandfather guy wants to offer his wife up (our potential fist lady) for a "COW PIE BEAUTY CONTEST!!" A contest that

  21. When Paris and Britney are slipped into the polital fray, we know we have reached the bottom.

    thanks McCain for being a bottom feeder. I thought this campaign was going to be about issues? McCain knows that he will lose soundly if he runs on issues, so he runs ads with a scary black man superimposed on white chicks, lies about Obamas positions to scare people .... , republican politics 101.... FEAR!!!

    Be afraid of those gay people, they will destroy your marriage

    Be afraid of the black parolee, he will rape your daughter..

    Be afraid of phantom wmd's...

  25. We women are so used to rough and tumble manfolk like McCain using us as a negative comparison that it hardly registers. It's part of our patriarchial Judeo-Christian heritage. Leviticus doesn't rail against homosexuality, it rails against a man demeaning himself by sexually serving another man as a woman would.

    I am life long Christian who is blessed with one of those personal relationships with God the right wing is always going on about as if they invented spirituality. My question is, does God have a penis and if so, whatever would it's purpose be. I'm pretty sure John McCain would answer "yes" to the first question and "cause everyone who is really important has one" to the second.

    McCain is of the wrong gender, the wrong generation and the wrong mindset to even understand why we would be offended. Hillary supporters-and I will always be one-who vote for him instead of Obama are fools.

    He's half right anyway. It isn't PMS, but it is a fair permanent state of "I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore". I was raised not to bruise a man's ego and then I married one that loves to compete with me, win or lose, and would be offended if I gave it less than 100%. Now I have even LESS patience with the whiny guys who can't bear a woman with an opinion or a spine.

    Cindy McCain has money, family, social position and still pads around behind her hubby like an over-anxious lap dog. Michelle Obama is brilliant and tough and not afraid to show it. If their wives were running I would still vote Obama.

    To get you upto speed on LVLIB...

    His name is Larry Robinson (he revealed that...so no harm, no foul).

    He's some kind of free-lance circuit preacher of the evangelical stripe. Right-wing, of course. Chauvinistically pro-Israel (to the point of saying that Israel's fate is more important than America's).

    He thinks we should have nuked China ("depots only") to "win" the Korean War. He once said we should "think Dresden" as a means of "winning" the "War on Terror".

    He doesn't read television, radio, newspapers or magazines except for entertainment.

    He vehemently defends the military...unless like Lt. General Robert Gard, they are "liberals".

    He claims to have been some double-nought spy for the Navy during 'Nam.

    And despite calling FRANKGRITS a "dangerous idiot" before...they're now best buddies in the War on Obama.

    Unless McCain picks Romney as Veep, in which case he refused to put a "Temple Mormon" (nearly the same as Al Qaeda to LL) a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

  36. Thank you for the explanation. Of course Israel is desperately important-no Israel, no apocalypse.

    In my work with the disabled I discovered that the teachings of Jesus are so simple a retarded child can, literally, understand them. Revelations on the other hand is a mish mosh of allegory and metaphor written by a mad man. Why sitting at the right hand of God would make Jesus unable to speak clearly was a mystery to me in the fourth grade and seems just plain silly now.

    Well, I'm afraid your understanding of Jesus is probably misguided and due to actually reading what his friends said about him.

    Jesus was a laissez-faire capitalist who disapproved of any Government largesse whatsoever. Despite his "Prince of Peace" accolades, he was a firm and committed foreign policy hawk, who knew you had to take the fight to the enemy...carpet bombing, nukes if necessary to win the peace and that negotiations and diplomacy were fools' errands that only led to your own destruction...

    and of course the necessity for keeping such a war as cheap and EASY on the voting public as possible to not lose political support...

    and that expanding the borders of then-Judea and future-Israel to its Biblically-ordained lines was of paramount importance, to exclusion of any "peace treaty" or any other countries or international security.

    Oh and despite the fact that he never personally broached the subjects...he vehemently opposed abortion rights and rights for homosexuals.

    As FG tried, they pass it off as "just a joke", but do "family values Republicans" usually "joke" about letting their wives appear NUDE in a "pageant"?

    Or was McCain not aware of the "R-rated" aspect of the pageant, in which case, he was just a vapid idiot who was trying to act like he was "connecting" with this audience...when in point of fact, he had no idea what was going on?

    So? McCain...pimping panderer or oblivious buffoon?

  42. Mask, it's otay. Liberals like irony, remember :)

    However, there is-hand in hand with the loathesome "prosperity christians"-a group of CINOs who believe that when Jesus said love thy enemy and love thy neighbor he was referring only to those who were AT THAT TIME his neighbors and enemies which leaves modern Christians free to bomb everyone who didn't live next door to or personally piss off Mary and Joseph.

    These are the sort of people who have had GWBs ear so if John McCain drank that kool-aid God help him. I think I prefer an athiest like Dick Cheney. He knows he is evil and figures since the whole payoff in this life why not be as awful as possible. Far more intellectually honest, though also far creepier.

    That crowd loves anyone who yells "Harley Rules!" or "Tequila" or "Take it off, mama!". I would have recommended-at the risk of irking the Japanese bike owners-sticking with the lesss inflammatory "Harley Rules" rather than offering to sign the wife up for a clothing optional beauty pageant, but it's his campaign.

  47. Happy you sure do like to spin this stuff in McCain's favor. Everything according to you that happens is in McCain's favor. That's because McCain is behind. There is very little that is in his favor. Like with what happened with Hillary, his attack politics will work for him for a little bit, like it did for Hillary, then it will come back to bite him. All these attacks do is serve to remind us that McCain is much like Bush. Obama hasn't taken to saying it but if he does you will watch McCain's ratings plummet from the sky like his plane. This is same as always Rovian politics and even McCain doesn't want to participate in them. Like I said to Mask. McCain's campaign is at war with itself. He and his old schoolers want to go a different way than some of the people in his campaign are telling him to go.

  49. When Ronald Reagan's revolution happened I was a poor working single mom. I received $75.00 a month to pay a babysitter, a medical card and ten bucks a month in food stamps.

    For this handsome sum I had to listen to men in $300.00 suits tell me I was a welfare "queen". Reagan put a stop to all that. The bar for receiving welfare was set so high that when my son needed to have surgery I had to quit my job to reinstate my medical card.

    Now I work for the government, good pay, good insurance and good-bye to all of it if we didn't have a union. If America had universal single payer health care for everyone-not just people like me AND OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES-I would be back working with disabled people for a quarter of what I make filling out redundant paperwork and pointless reports (many of which deal with HOMELAND SECURITY-be afraid, be very afraid).

    A successful revolution changes things for the better. I have yet to see the Republican revolution do anything except raise the national debt and reduce the standard of living for the 98% of us making less than 250K a year.

You don't also suppose, your doing what appears to be worthless work while drawing "good pay, good insurance", is a huge symptom of what the f*&^ is wrong with Big Gov't? Posted by 2HAPPY at 08/06/2008 @ 12:48pm

    Wait Happy!? I thought all that money the Fed is spending on security is important. Obviously she has a job doing SOMETHING for national security, I mean much of her paperwork has to do with Homeland security. I was under the impression that an inflated military budget was supposed to be the ONLY thing our money is used for.

    What worthwhile work do you do again, HAPPY? Sit in the mall filling out proxy statements while your wife does her part for the war effort... by shopping?

    It is YOUR president that created the DHS, the TSA and other new bureaucracies. This is all done because you are afraid of terrorists. If she wore a uniform to work you would drool all over her and call her a "hero" for keeping you safe from Saddams drones.

    "He doesn't read television, radio, newspapers or magazines except for entertainment."

    Talk about lying; I have repeated stated that I read a number of international and US newspapers, that I watch and listen primarily to Free Speech TV, Link TV, and Pacifica Radio (KPFK in Los Angeles), I hardly ever watch Fox News or listen to conservative talk radio (ie, Limbaugh or Hannity); I watch documentaries, the History channel, the Travel channel, and some entertainment programming

I really thought McCain would walk away from the GOP when it didn't chstise Bush and become an Independent. That's what a maverick would have done, right? Instead he is getting hugs, kisses and noogies from Bush and cozying up to the Evangelicals who all but called him the anti-Christ. Wha?

    BTW I do not work for Homeland Security. It has crept into so many industries and institutions that McDonalds probably fills out suspicious substance/package/persons paperwork. I know our local library was asked to a few years back.

    Yeah...kind of figured on a rebuttal...so let's take it point-by-point

    1. "He's some kind of free-lance circuit preacher of the evangelical stripe."----- Wrong. I am the founder and Sr Pastor of Tabernacle of Hope Ministries (a collection of churches and ministries in the US, Philippines, South Africa, Bahamas, and Mexico) which is an affiliate of All Nations Ministries

    So you're founder of a sub-affiliate of a small Texas based minor ministry run by a guy named Sapp. I stand corrected...heheh. (BTW, no problem with the "chauvinistically pro-Israel" thing?)

    2. "He doesn't read television, radio, newspapers or magazines except for entertainment." ----Talk about lying; I have repeated stated that I read a number of international and US newspapers, that I watch and listen primarily to Free Speech TV, Link TV, and Pacifica Radio (KPFK in Los Angeles), I hardly ever watch Fox News or listen to conservative talk radio (ie, Limbaugh or Hannity); I watch documentaries, the History channel, the Travel channel, and some entertainment programming.

    Quote- "If you are relying today on media sources like television, radio, newspapers, and magazines for much more than entertainment...you are woefully ignorant. I really don't care what happens to these "information" outlets since they don't inform me."----Posted by LVLIBERTY1 12/13/2007 @ 2:02pm

    Note: No caveats in that statement concerning "reading a number of international and US newspapers". If you'd like to REVISE the statement, LL...I'll accept it.

    "Bear, Frankgrits and the many other leftists who regurgitate what Michael Moore other radicals voice merely demonstrate they neither know history or current events.

    The insurgents and other terrorists in Iraq have no comparison with our Revolutionary War soldiers. Maybe Bear and Frankgrits can provide some examples of how we randomly murdered innocent women and children as these animals do?

    Dangerous idiots." ----Posted by lvliberty1 at 04/6/2007

    And since you admit to allowing for you and FRANK possibily becoming "good friends"....what "lie" did I tell?

    So...you ARE a fairly independent, shall we say "free lance" (given you are founder of your OWN ministry with only an affiliation with another minor ministry)...

    you DID say you "aren't informed" by TV, radio, NEWSPAPERS, or magazines...

    and you called FRANK a "dangerous idiot" but are now willing to be "good friends"...

    I take it (like the rest you DIDN'T object to)...you can't object to those points too much!

    There is NO Tabernacle of Hope Ministries in San Diego.

    The Atlanta group does have affiliates in the Bahamas, and the Philippines, and Michael is described as the Bishop AND senior pastor.

    I don't know why a senior pastor would tell he is from San Diego when he is not, or give you a name of a ministry that is not based in San Diego.

    Posted by Metteyya at 08/06/2008 @ 3:41pm

  86. So you're founder of a sub-affiliate of a small Texas based minor ministry run by a guy named Sapp. I stand corrected...heheh. (BTW, no problem with the "chauvinistically pro-Israel" thing?)

    Posted by Maskdelta at 08/06/2008 @ 2:34pm

    Wrong again Masked man. I've never been affiliated with any ministry in Texas other than my association with Hagee as a supporting pastor in CUFI (Christians United For Israel).

    While I wouldn't call support of Israel "chauvinistic", I am of course very pro Israel.

    Our ministry website is down while I am in the midst of constructing a new website; however, the founding ministry website which I have linked to before is:

    http://www.sommerhaven.com/index.html

    I was ordained by the founder, Agnes Numer and serve as one of her advisors.

    And I was a Pastor, Missionary and Associate Pastor in the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel for almost 15 years. I also attended their Bible College (LIFE).

    It is always amusing when someone thinks they have my identity through a web search. There are over a thousand people I have discovered over time with my same name. And there are about a dozen I have found with the same middle initial.

    But I tend to keep a low profile when it comes to the media and to the internet itself (other than this site). That is something I learned from Agnes.

    Posted by lvliberty1 at 08/06/2008 @ 3:46pm

  87. Mask-It is a proven fact that strong faith in something can greatly affect ones ability to survive a deadly disease or to not get sick in the first place,but it has,also,been proven that it does not matter which faith,if any,the person subscribes to as many Tibetan Buddhists have,certainly,proven.It is your own faith and not what a healer does that cures you.Don't know if God can cure an amputee or not,but does not seem to desire to do so.Maybe it's a karma thing,but strong faith can help to keep one alive as they become an amputee.At the very least,strong faith can help one to deal with the pain and trauma caused by becoming an instant amputee by way of bomb,bullet,or accident.

    A matter of semantics that a SMALL self-founded ministry "associated" with another small self-founded ministry is anything more than "free lance" compared to larger denominations.

  90. Posted by i'm nobody at 08/06/2008 @ 3:55pm

    The evangelical/fundamentalist premise of "God healing" is that it is a given that God can pretty much do whatever He wants. Got cancer? God can "heal it". Actually cause the cancer cells to cease functioning and die. Tumors, destroyed nerves, etc. All cell structures that God can "manipulate at will" (upon proper prayer and supplication by the victim and/or "healers").

    Now...why can God destroy cancer cells, even facilitate the curing of nerve and muscle cells...but cannot RE-GROW cells into tissues to regenerate a lost limb or even digit?

    The answer is simple. Cancers and other diseases have a REMISSION RATE...a statistical probability that they will cease their march of debility or to death.

    Take 20 cancer victims at random...19 die, 1 survives. A remission rate of 5%. Perfectly reasonable disease pathology.

    Take 20 people and have them "pray God to cure them"...19 die, 1 survives and (being alive) gets to tell people that "His faith was strong and God cured him of cancer!" (the dead 19 with no defense get put in the "not strong enough faith" or "wasn't God's will they get cured" trash heap.)

    So...the premise of "God healing people" is false, since curing an amputee (no major stretch for a God that can "cure cancer") .......never happens.

    Here endeth the lesson....heheh

But how many of those people are also ex-military from Vietnam, Pastors that live in either San Diego or Riverside. I gurantee you anyone who cared enough could find out all they wanted about you by just cross referencing information. All you would do is search different portions of that information together. I am not determined enough because I don't much care and could never confirm it because I would never post it online if I did find out which means I could never ask.

    On Jesus:

    Was your head spinning while you were spewing out green puke? If not, you need to visit your local exorcist. Quickly please.

    Jesus said: Return good for evil Jesus said: Go about doing good Jesus said: Treat others the way you would want to be treated Jesus said: If one asks for a fish do not give him a stone Jesus said: Judge not, for according to the same manner you judge others, so shall you be judged Jesus said: A tree will be known by its fruit, as good tree will not bear bad fruit, nor a good tree bad Jesus said: true love hath no fear

    Jesus also rejected Simon the Zealot's appeal to overthrow the Romans.

    You clearly have not only not read your bible, but you have utterly no understanding of who Jesus is, or what he beseeched us to become.

    You are a POSER!

  99. Maskdelta,

    It's people like you that give Jesus a bad name--you know--ANTI-CHRIST.

    Wow.

    Posted by PrairieDeb at 08/07/2008 @ 12:43am

  100. Frosty, I agree. I get testie when someone disses the big "J", but from my experience, not too many know Him. They judge by others, and quite franky, those who act like they know--know not.

    I stopped going to church when they made God a Republican.

    Jesus is clearly an independent.

    Republicans are Pharasees, they strain a gnat and swallow a camel.

  101. jesus woulda liked this guy:

    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bond, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may ( if ye will ) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty.

    john ball, 1381

    Uh, Deb....I was being sarcastic and channelling your average "LVLIB" type "Christian".

    As you noted, very little of the fundy/evangel right-wing Christianity is based on what Jesus said. (Note: They typically quote a lot of OLD Testament and St. Paul to back up their political/religious dogma!)

  104. wow.

    stupid buzz........

  106. I'm trying to figure out how the attention from the Paris Hilton response ad or the "omigod, I can't watch" performance in Sturgis helped McCain, but an awful lot of chatter is suggesting both were a big hit with Republicans???? Also, what did FOX have to say about MIss Buffalo Chip? I found nothing on the website and no longer subscribe to satellite (too many shopping channels for my hard earned dime).

  109. it's all a mindset.

    Posted by frosty zoom at 08/07/2008 @ 10:05pm

  110. Maskdelta, yeah I figured that out when I reread some posts. :^/ I need to stop that late nigtht, tired from remodeling posts. But I can't, so I'll have to read more closely. Sorry. Still, if I'm going to get tagged, it might as well be for defending the big "J" They are giving him a bad name.

    Peace out.

  111. Maybe he needs a new nickname?

    "Maverick Pimp"?

    Posted by Maskdelta at 08/06/2008 @ 08:58am | warn this person

    And Phil Gramm can fund the production.

    Icky, icky Maverick Pimpie

    I'm even disturbing myself.
