Montag & McCain in '08

When you think about the handful of fans Heidi Montag has, you probably don't think of anyone overly intelligent. John McCain has put himself out on a limb to announce that he is a fan of Heidi. It is probably debatable to say that John McCain may either enforce or deny Heidi having a lack of intelligent fans, but it's not debatable to say that McCain talking about The Hills is probably just a plea to entice the younger generation.

First off, McCain goes on to say she's a “fantastic actress.” Again, debatable, but she's not supposed to appear as an actress. Also, it doesn't really seam like he has any idea what he's talking about. He makes the same comment over and over again, and he laughs nervously as he does so. It's pretty clear that before Heidi went out on a limb to support him he had no idea who she was, and I'm still not convinced that he knows. I'm not really familiar with McCain's approach for the younger generation of voters, but I know that aligning himself with Heidi Montag kind of made me dislike him a little more. I know he can't chose who supports him, but to give a political shout out to Heidi was a little odd.

The best part of the clip is when a woman begs for the men to “get serious” and the anchorman snaps back at her. It made me chuckle. They start talking about Heidi at about 50 seconds if you want to forward the video.

I agree, McCain even acknowledging the Heidi thing makes him seem ridiculous. Now they're reporting she's not even a registered voter. Shocker.

Yeah, just like Paris from the Vote Or Die campaign. She didn't even know she had to register to vote. I'd like to think Heidi has a little more sense than that though.
