2. You left out "I Think She's Hot"
Any poll regarding Paris Hilton is required to have that option. It is not just a rule, it is a really dumb idea.

14. It was joke, from her and from me.
Even if she did, I don't care. Obama is a big boy.

4. I think more of her handlers...
Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 03:54 PM by Juniperx
She's still dumb as a post. This was clearly an attempt to get her back in front of the camera, nothing more, and her handlers took good advantage of the situation at hand. Good job. I doubt she has a clue, much less an opinion.

8. Sometimes I wonder, though
if it is all an act to put people off balance until her father passes on, at which point she will explode into a hardcore corporate overlord.

37. If that's the case, she has pretty well ruined her rep already...
Corp America tries its damndest to keep her kind of naughty activity carefully under wrap!

19. Do you base that on.....
Do you base that on her being blonde or being female? I'm assuming that you've ruled out that she's developed an "on air persona".

32. I'm a blond female... think again...
Edited on Thu Aug-07-08 07:07 PM by Juniperx
No, think for the first time.


:eyes:


I base it on her being dumb enough to think that it's cool to show her business to every paparazzi who comes to her car door, among other things. And if this is an "on air persona" she has carefully developed, she is even dumber than I think.

41. Exactly, McDumb just gave her an opening
To get the attention she is always seeking.

It it almost pitiful and shows that having all the money in the world does not buy happiness.

6. I admire anyone who doesn't take shit from rightwing pinheads.
Before seeing her ad, I wouldn't have found much to admire in Paris Hilton, except maybe a finely tuned instinct for self-promotion.

7. I chose "Other" and I will tell you why
No matter what we think of her..

Her ad was put together quickly, professionally and took a dagger to McCain's whole ad enterprise....she made him look stupid and old.

And the last line of the add, "See you at the debates bitches"! Fucking Brilliant...

Her parents also asked for the campaign donation back from McCain.

Come on she hasn't done much in her young spoiled life but this one....I think she performed and responded beyond expectations.

15. you know, I was sitting there watching it........
...and when she got to the part about her energy policy, I thought 'that's a good idea!' And then immediately, I thought.....I can't believe I'm agreeing with Paris Hilton! I never thought that would ever happen!!

Whoever wrote it did a great job!

23. Paris Hilton?
Man, the few times I was in Paris I couldn't afford, nor did I want, to stay at a Hilton or any other such hotel chain.

Once I stayed at a place called the Cosy Monceau. A hole in the wall in a non touristy neighborhood though I can't remember what arrondissment it was in.

Now, I have stayed at the Cincinnati Hilton. It was very nice.

24. Col. Sanders and Yoda!
Now that's old!

I think the ad is a hilarious response to an insanely stupid ad in the first place.

And it's totally hot.

27. What was really priceless was the attempt by the McCain camp
to spin how funny they found the ad in a desperate attempt to prove that McCain's funny and hip, see? See, he found Paris cool and funny! But all that does is make people think, "Does he realize that he just got smacked down by Paris Hilton??? And he wants to be the leader of the free world."

28. She's never been "dumb"
That girl marketed herself, invented herself for whatever reasons-- I don't know, she was born rich, and has had every advantage. I've never thought of her a "dumb" She did a lot of self parody.

I have to admit before the video, I considered myself above that nonsense. After, not only do I think more of her, I find her far more interesting.

31. Teleprompter reading does not equal intelligence.
She's a moron, IMO.

38. Rumor has it she memorized the whole thing!
Which puts her way above McCain... but it's still not indicative of intelligence.

Any woman who intentionally shows her nakie naughty bits to paparazzi is a dumbass in my book... and being a woman, I know for a fact that women know full well what is and what is not showing 99.9% of the time.

40. She's very good at marketing herself. She learned well from how
Madonna kept reinventing herself, and how she used the media to her benefit.

She's not well educated, but she has some smarts. Still don't like her.

Good press, bad press, is all good, just as long as they are talking about you.
