Cavuto Uses Paris Hilton's McCain Video to Promote Drilling and Bash Democrats

[ccharles000]

I couldn't believe this one -- Neil Cavuto took the ad Paris Hilton made in response to John McCain's ad against Barack Obama -- and aired (August 6, 2008) a tiny piece of it, never explaining where it came from or putting it in context in any way whatsoever, and he used it against Democrats (leaving out Hilton's references to wrinkly, white haired John, of course). These guys are somethin' else.

Over a chyron that read, "Paris Gets It: Why Can't Congress?," Cavuto opened the segment with: "Well, forget congress. Would you believe that Paris Hilton may have the answer to America's energy crisis? Why don't we take a look at this:"

Video of Hilton: "Okay. So here's my energy policy. Barack wants to focus on technologies to cut foreign oil dependency, and McCain wants off-shore drilling. Well why don't we do a hybrid of both candidates' ideas. We can do limited off-shore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way the off-shore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in which would then create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved. Bye {blows kiss)."

Back to Cavuto: "I just want to say officially on this show, I want to make Paris Hilton president of the United States, because clearly she gets it. Why can't congress? From the star of a Simple Life a very simple, alarmingly, deceptively simple solution. Drill now until all of those fuel efficient cars are ready. With us now, Democratic congressman Frank Pallone of New Jersey who opposes additional off-shore drilling. Congressman, Paris gets it. Why don't you?"

3. I can't believe these guys are advocating taking energy policy

from Paris Hilton. That's what they are saying and I really am so shaking my head that they aren't getting it. They are showing themselves to be what they accused Obama of being...of course these are the ones that swoon over B movie stars and put them in office...
