I'm stealing this from another DUer: We should have Paris Hilton speak at the Convention!

[PresidentObama]

Wouldn't that piss McCain off?

Just for shits and giggles. Have her give a hilarious speech talking about what a big celebrity she is, and mocking John McCain the whole time. I think it'd be great. Of course the media would eat it up. Possible backfire is she's probably not the most popular figure among educated voters. But hey, let's piss McSame off!

Paris Hilton for VP!

:P I her she's being vetted.

1. Oh no. McCain isn't pissed at Paris...he LOVES Paris. Thinks

she is simply hilarious.

What would be funny is if they had Paris Hilton do a magazine spread like she was Cindy McCain. I'd die laughing.

[PresidentObama]

2. LOL. At least Paris is good looking. Unlike that thing they call Cindy McCain. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Maybe Paris thinks McCain is some sort of prehistoric exhibit

[Captain Hilts]

4. Actually, that would be really funny. A real finger in the eye to McCain. What a stoopid ad. nt

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

5. Oh hell no!

If Paris wants to do ads bashing McCain on her own, that's fine. But the last image the Democratic party needs to project is celebrating perpetual idol rich type nothing celebrities who are "famous" because their grandparents made money. Geezus, isn't there one of those in the White House right now?

6. Uh, no. That is a momumentally stupid idea. Isn't the line between politics & entertainment blurred

enough already by the MSM? Why should we enable that?

And why would anyone in their right mind want to trivialize our national convention by turning it into a comedy venue?

Stupid, stupid idea. Let Paris do YouTube. The Dems don't need her, and she doesn't need us.

[Gabi Hayes]

8. there are enough celebs already attending, and the pugs are going to make EXTRA hay out of that

it's one of the fundaments of their campaign this year, and they've surely had focus group info/polling data to show that it's working.

if it still polls positively for them at the time of the convention, you'll see a flurry of ads with the dreaded monsters who represent all that is elite and evil and wrong with the sociali....I mean democrat party.

[Fleshdancer]

7. She should speak at the GOP convention

Maybe then, someone will actually watch it. :shrug:
