Senator McCain said this week that he is proud of the ads his campaign's been running, comparing Barack Obama to Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton. That got me thinking...
Would Paris Hilton have made a better president than George W. Bush? Probably not, but she couldn't be too much worse. When you look closely, the two have more in common than you might think. Both rose to their positions in society on the achievements of their parents. W's career history is littered with failures (the baseball team, the oil business, his presidency to name a few). Just watch a few episodes of "The Simple Life" for a glimpse at Paris' abilities in the workplace. Both have shown an uncanny ability to achieve great popularity by achieving nothing. And neither have shown a great proclivity for the English language. So, it's a toss-up. If Paris had been president for the last 7 years, the country would be in more or less the same shape it's in now.
If McCain wins the presidency, he's going to owe Paris and Brittany more than just a debt of gratitude. They're going to deserve very high positions in the McCain administration. For Ms. Hilton, I would suggest a cabinet level position... Secretary of Hot. As for Ms. Spears, nothing less than Undersecretary of Underwear.
