Hillary Clinton Auditions For Paris Hilton
1 comment July 18th, 2007
Hillary Clinton and her sidekick William Jefferson Clinton may be auditioning for more than the Sopranos finale remake. In the last Democratic forum, references were made about the candidates competing with Paris Hilton for public and media attention. In fact, the Paris Hilton celebrity dynamic is what the Hillary campaign machine looks to as its role model. Here is the reason why.
If the American voters had to render a thoughtful decision in November 2008, Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations would be severely degraded. However, if the presidential election is reduced to a mere popularity contest, then Hillary as celebrity may be unstoppable.
No one will accuse Paris Hilton of being one of the great thinkers of history, or a scientific genius, let alone a figure of human accomplishment and nobility,worthy of being a heroic role model. But celebrity images are about the illusion of being “famous,” and as such, the Paris Hilton phenomenon is exactly the campaign dynamic that Hillaryland is seeking.
Just as the legal problems of Paris Hilton became the center of gravity for the American media, Hillary and Bill mimicking gangsters (just for fun ) on YouTube becomes an act of cosmic significance. Al Qaeda may be plotting mass murder, the Iraq war disaster is being compounded daily, however the leading news in this campaign will be a song contest or video spoof conducted by aspiring commander-in-chief Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Hllary Clinton as the Paris Hilton of the 2008 presidential election is the recipe for Hillaryland’s planned romp to the White House. At least the first Clinton presidency based its case on an issue (the economy), no matter how contrived their sincereity was. However, Hillaryland is increasingly basing its campaign on pure fun and games, hoping you the voter will be so mesmerized by the Hillary celebrity syndrome, you won’t think before casting your ballot.
Not a hopeful outlook for the United States of America.
