Guest JMA Report post Posted December 19, 2003 NEW YORK (Reuters) -- He may have beaten Saddam Hussein, but President George W. Bush got clobbered by slinky socialite Paris Hilton when her television show got higher ratings than Bush's exclusive ABC interview Tuesday night. More Americans watched Fox's "The Simple Life," which depicts the 22-year-old hotel heiress working on an Arkansas farm, than saw Bush being interviewed by Diane Sawyer, Nielsen Media Research said on Thursday. "The Simple Life" may have been helped by the public saga of a video, making the rounds of the Internet, showing the granddaughter of hotel chain founder Conrad Hilton engaged in various sex acts with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon. "The Simple Life" drew 11.8 million viewers while Bush's ABC "Prime Time" interview drew 11 million, Nielsen said. In the interview, the president made headlines by saying the recently captured ex-Iraqi leader should be executed -- the "ultimate penalty" -- for his iron-fisted rule in Iraq. But Hilton won more viewers with her performance baking pies and working the town fair's kissing booth in a mini skirt. Perhaps Bush's daughters should get a show. I'd watch that.

No, the chase was in June, and a State of the Union address would be in January. I still don't see the Paris Hilton appeal. She seems to be as dumb as a brick and has no real talent outside of being really rich. I won't say she's unattractive as she's pretty hot, but the other girl on there interests me much more.

I won't say she's unattractive as she's pretty hot, but the other girl on there interests me much more. She's a stupid rich blonde with a decent body who enjoys sex and has no problems with filming it, and you aren't seeing the appeal? Personally, I find her annoying more than anything. And I don't like the way she eyes that horse on "The Simple Life".....it worries me so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted December 19, 2003 She's not good looking, the best she looks is naked and even then she's a starved wannabe super model who looks like she's recovering from a heroin addiction. What happened to men who wanted body? Do you know how many bruises you'd get from fucking something that boney? I'd feel afraid her body's so starved for nutrition it'd try and eat my dick thinking it's a vegetable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haVoc 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2003 Maybe it's the Paris Hailton over exposure, but the bits I've seen of this show, Nicole Richie is much more entertaining. I don't think Paris can speak more then 4 or 5 words at a time. At least Nicole talks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can vote more than once on American Idol, so it's not a great comparison... The vote for the most recent final show pulled in something like 25 million votes whereas the last presidential election was somewhere around 45 million. If you combine all the voting for all the shows it beats it easily, but I still think thats a bit crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
