You stay classy, Perez. And he didn’t stop with Sarah Palin. He had a little fun with John McCain, too.
Of course, fabulously fit Perez looks like he may have a little more in common with a pig than McCain or Palin:
If you’re really brave, take a look at this picture supplied by one of Michelle’s commenters. Scary. All I can really say is, it must have been cold outside. Really, really cold.
Perez Hilton doesn’t often talk about politics. His line of work runs more along the lines of who’s screwing who, which starlet is flashing her girly bits, and other vital information for the celebrity-obsessed. He especially loves railing on celebrities, usually females, for their appearance — who is too fat, too skinny, too ugly, needs plastic surgery, etc. He does occasionally break away from the important world of all things superficial and narcissistic to talk politics, and when he does, it’s as liberal as the Daily Kos and the Democratic Underground. He loves smearing Republican politicians, and Republican celebrities better beware: he’s got it out bad for them. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a prime target of his vitriol, with his nickname for her of “Elisabitch” and the common usage of the “c” word for her. (Strangely, the feminist blogs seem to have no problem with this. How surprising.)
So, these photoshops are not altogether surprising. I wonder how Barack Obama feels about them. Perez Hilton has, after all, donated to his campaign. Will he decry the photoshops? Call for a stop to the personal attacks and smears?
But you know, maybe I’m being too harsh on poor Perez. It can’t be easy walking around looking like he does every day. Maybe the “pig” insult hit a little too close to home; maybe his unhappiness and misery is what causes him to be so hate-filled and nasty. Who knows? It must be hard to know that even with a pig’s nose, Sarah Palin is still way hotter than he is. God knows she’s got the smarter, tougher, and more principled part won by miles.
Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin
As big a fan as I am of Gov. Palin, I’m an even bigger fan of the catchphrase “you stay classy, (blank).” I hope history looks back and associates it with the year 2008 like it associates the Macarena with 1996. It hits just the right mix of teenager snottiness, irony, and cutesy-tootsiness turned ’round toward a more worthy goal. Like using Hollyweird’s own weapons against ’em. And the point it makes about these classy libs, is nothing short of brilliant.
Who came up with that, anyway? Is that Michelle’s? Or perhaps yours?
