...heiress - unfavorably - in a campaign ad titled "Celebrity". But like any good reality-show superstar, she's taken her shot at (yet more) fame and run with it. Now, despite her conspicuous absence from the recent debates, which Hilton promised some bitches she would attend, the self-delcared fake candidate for the fake presidency is back - and this time, she's got company...
...posted Oct. 8, Paris gets tips from the greatest Fake President of our time, Jed Bartlet - better known to those of us who don't obsessively watch West Wing DVDs as actor Martin Sheen. The BFFs share a quiet moment at the kitchen table as a party rages elsewhere in Paris' mansion. Wearing what appears to be a "transvestite Paris" Halloween costume, Hilton asks Sheen for help crafting her "FoPo" (foreign policy, silly) and economic platforms. Citing the current global economic crisis as "the biggest Depression since The Notebook," she gives a stiff, rehearsed stance on what should be done...

Obama is cool and cerebral, but I've always thought he is a kind of unifier of the bodily parts of the country because he exudes calm and it doesn't seem like a fake calm.

I tend to think that anybody...
...Moore to dedicate a surprising amount of screen time to musical performances. Singers including Eddie Vedder, Steve Earle, and Joan Baez perform full songs at various points throughout the film. But rather than feeling uplifting, these scenes seem merely out of place. Equally unnecessary is a series of fake pro-Bush commercials that appears midway through the film. Humorous interludes have previously worked well in Moore’s films—an uproarious animation sequence in “Bowling for Columbine” is one such example—yet these clips do nothing to advance the story...
