Then there was Ross Perot, whom most discounted as a joke, but who ended up being a real candidate. That's what a lot of money will do for you. Look out, world, but Paris has a lot of that green stuff. Heck, Perot did such a good job, I even voted for the guy twice.
This go-round, we had Stephen Colbert as a presidential hopeful, if only for a few weeks. Damn. He is just what this country needs, and I was really pulling for him, too. I spent two dazed weeks stalking him online and joined every official and unofficial web site touting his candidacy.
Between Colbert's ill-fated South Carolina primary and now, we have experienced only minor bumps on the presidential road. Hillary is a woman; Barack is black; Mac is old. Blah, blah, blah. Ho-hum.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank God for Paris Hilton. For it is she who has brought levity back onto the political playing field. And if she makes it into the Beltway with her write-in campaign and paints the White House pink, well, girl, I'm behind you all the way.

If Paris Hilton can get the energy plan right, why can't Pelosi?

Paris is smarter (not to mention waaay better looking) than Pelosi?

Yes, but does Pelosi have a sex tape? Is she less bored in it?

Sources close to her say she was all set to make one, but couldn't find a cinematographer willing to take responsibility for aiding and abetting...
