Backstory: Yesterday, the resident idiot reality television "star" Heidi Montag endorsed John McCain via US Weekly. I feel increadibly lame even describing her "career", but let's just say it involves plastic surgery and self-agrandizing tabloid magazine interviews. She is a proud Republican who is voting for McCain because of his experience.
Her ex-boyfriend's reponse pretty much sums up what I thought upon hearing it:
I don't think anyone cares who Heidi Montag votes for.
But, actually, as I just learned there is one person who cares - John McCain.
Let's hear what he has to say in this Time magazine exclusive:
John McCain told Swampland: "I’m honored to have Heidi’s support and I want to assure her that I never miss an episode of 'The Hills,' especially since the new season started."
Wow. I just don't know what to say.
I would have thought he would be busy learning the difference between Iran and Al Qaeda, or about how condoms help prevent AIDS, or even about who Moqtada al-Sadr is. But no, every Monday at 10/9 central, he's curled up in front of his television seeing if Lauren and Heidi are speaking to each other again.
Nice to know where his priorities lie.
