A Ringing Endorsement

Does Washington have itself a new pundit? The floor (sadly) recognizes the representative from Orange County.

Heidi Montag recently revealed to political powerhouse Us Magazine that she'll be voting for John McCain in the upcoming presidential election. Wow, I can't believe that Us scooped all the other publications on that story! The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News And World Report really have egg on their face! What next? The breaking news of what Lauren Conrad had for lunch?

The revelation comes on the heals of her admittance that she's a Republican and McCain has "a lot of experience". Later, she also said that pink is a pretty color and shopping is fun!

American media, you've got it all fucking wrong. Nobody cares if this Aryan reali-twat gets the right to vote. She and her narcissistic ilk on "The Hills" mean nothing to this world, and to have the New York Times call Heidi Montag a "feminist hero" for standing up to beau Spencer Pratt does nothing but confuse the issue.

"Defying our expectations," Heidi Montag "has emerged as a kind of feminist hero" in the new Hills season, a New York Times critic Ginia Bellafante wrote. What expectations? The fact she is smart enough to not suffocate herself when sleeping is shock enough to me.

"Her groundswell of self-assertion begins when [beau Spencer Pratt] insists on eloping, prompting Heidi to declare, 'This isn't, like, Spencer's relationship and you decide what we do'. After taking a break from Spencer at her parents' modest house, Heidi returns to Los Angeles to kick him out and chastises him for taking her flat-screen TV with him".

I believe that Bellafante has now established the new lowest rung on the journalistic ladder. The doodles I make on a napkin when I'm on the phone have more weight than what you do. Thanks for trying to give worth to someone who is worthless. Has feminism and a woman's worth degenerated so far that the bickering between two fabricated celebritards merits validation as forwarding the cause? Elizabeth Cady Stanton? Susan B. Anthony? Ugly intellectuals. But Heidi Montag, that's a woman we can all be proud of.

When Pratt warned her about making an endorsement, Montag replied, "I don't think anyone cares who Heidi Montag votes for". That's the first intelligent thing she's had to say.
