The American Spectator

Perhaps he should be pointing the finger at John McCain’s campaign for inserting Paris into the political conversation to begin with. Now that McCain has been hoist on his own petard, Mr. Stein reacts with venom bordering on unhinged.

p>Please take down this ugly piece of writing. br> — Sonja Mendoza br> Socorro, New Mexico /p> p> I had a different take than Ben Stein. First of all, I loved McCain’s original ad. Secondly, I love Paris’ “rebuttal” because it kills two birds with one stone. Paris’ energy plan is what McCain has been proposing. Obama is now dumber than Paris Hilton. Never mind that lots and lots of people will now watch McCain’s ad again. Never mind that the response of the Obama campaign was “Whatever.” The second bird is that it makes Paris appear like she has a brain as well as being 35 years old if she thinks she’s running for President. And there’s nothing more devastating to her image than if she were smart and old. This whole thing is a gold mine for McCain. He gets young people to realize that Obama is dumber than Paris Hilton and he gets old people to realize that they don’t really like young people. br> — Andrew Macfadyen, M.D. br> Omaha, Nebraska /p> p> Way to go Ben Stein, somebody needed to tell the little tramp she’s not hot, and that’s right…not even close to pretty. In telling her, he told so many others as well, and that’s why they’re so exercised. br> — Bill Cook br> Seward, Alaska
