Obama's latest celebrity supporter
Given my obsession with the celebrity endorsement, I couldn't resist posting this one, courtesy E! Online:
Barack Obama just scored another Hollywood endorsement.
E! reality star Kim Kardashian is backing the Illinois senator in his bid for the White House. She revealed her support last night at the launch party for ex-jailbird Joe Francis’ Girls Gone Wild magazine at Area nightclub in L.A.
“I had dinner with him [Obama] once, and he just seemed very firm about the change, and that’s, like, his motto,” Kardashian said, referring to the slogan "Change We Can Believe In."
As E! is quick to note (and the Obama camp must be grateful), accidental celeb Kardashian did not dine with the senator alone -- the meeting took place at an event.
If celebrity endorsements are already fairly useless unless they're wackily self-aware enough for an image boost, what about the endorsement from the useless celebrity? Useful, or extra useless? Yes, I know the answer to that. Well, at least Kardashian can put some of her sex-tape cash toward Obama's campaign -- a quick search through the Center for Responsive Politics turns up no evidence of a donation.


well, let's see....
Useless celebrities' endorsements are of great value, because these low level celerities are embraced by the same quality of human beings that flock to charming used car sales men when those run for president. See the connection?
What do you expect? Here we have people vote with the same voting power of a Nobel Peace prize winning scientist, yet they can barely spell their name or say for sure whether or not Germany is in the US....
If I were a politician, of course I would see that I get endorsed by their little heroes...
Lord throw down some brain.....

TOO MANY VOTERS SURRENDER POWER TO STAR ENDORSEMENT
The denial is disingenuous, and the evidence is ample.
