Paris is many things, but she's not stupid. She's aware. Sure, she's a "party girl " but she is far savvier than McLame with respect to her image. People want to talk about how she's "done nothing" but she's managed to turn her celeb status (which she created) into lucrative marketing deals and earned money of her own. Granted, she had a built in hook up with her family money, but I know plenty of other rich ass kids who truly have done nothing with their opportunities except waste their time and money. And yes, she's a freak, but I don't condemn her for that, I applaud it. She's not as hot or smart as Carla Bruni, but she is a sure sight smarter than Kate Moss and looks great in person, plastic surgery be damned.
I've worked with her on a video, and found her to be pleasant and sharp. And afterwards, yes, she likes to party. She'll likely die falling off a cocktail table. But of all the rockstars I've gone out with, I've never seen the reaction that she causes when she comes into a club. She is a rockstar, haters, deal with it. (For those who think her album was all studio created, you're wrong. Written by others, sure, performed and programed by others, yes, but she sang it and acquitted herself admirably. Seen plenty of others fail that test.)
In short, this was a brilliant riposte from an unlikely source, and I think it had a Obama bent. When Paris is putting together something far more cogent than the republican old guard, the grand old poobahs are in deep doo doo.
