I have to admit that when I pick up the Metro now and then, I flip to the celebrity section and read about the exploits of Paris Hilton, the Spears sisters, et al. The same pleasure centre of my brain that is fascinated by other peoples lives tingles every time I read any little tidbit of Barack Obama. McCain’s initial attacks on Obama comparing him to a celebrity did strike a chord with me. Could I believe in a politician’s views and ideals because he or she wields the powers of celebrity: a shining smile, good looks, and adoring crowds?
And yet it’s no surprise that McCain has chosen to fight celebrity fire with fire by selecting Palin. She is already the badass celebrity who will have the paparazzi following her in the wake of scandal that follows. Former beauty queen? Check. Pregnant unwed daughter? Check. Bad guy husband with unruly past? Check. Gets dragged into court in the full public eye? Check. Palin is Paris Hilton: the badass celebrity.
What could be better for McCain? Palin is like a black hole that will draw all the attention to his campaign and what is worse (or better if you’re a Republican) is if and when McCain, with a steady fatherly hand, makes this badass daughter good in front of glaring eyes of the nation.
God save Alaska.
