This is what our press gallery is doing:

Seeking comment from Paris Hilton! Paris. Fucking. Hilton.
Are they for realz!!1!?
They are asking Paris Hilton for comment on this? Really? Fo’ Shiz?
Joe Hockey is to humour as lime is to beer. It has no place there!
I assume his weight is now fair game though, which is good news for most of the internet.

I have to admit, if Samantha got Paris to comment it would be a good get. Though perhaps she should also ask Messrs Abbott and Hockey to back up their statements with actual detail.

And ask Joe why he is stealing so much oxygen

A quick comment from Paris Hilton would be a good get and an interesting way to flesh out the story.
But I’m not cool with it taking precedence over actual scrutiny of the announcement.
A fluff story would be fine if there was some real journalism in the mix too.

Here in Canberra we have a spot on ABC radio each morning for Samantha, under the ABC’s Support Rupert’s Network campaign. This is fairly typical vapid Samantha unfortunately.

I wonder if she will comment. And if she does, how will she comment?

My big gripe with Hockey’s comment is that it was a stupid analogy.
Paris Hilton, if she were so inclined, could decide to embrace celibacy tomorrow morning. Did Hockey mean to say ‘virginity’? Or was he inferring that Paris Hilton is a nymphomaniac who has no hope but to be a promiscuous slut?
Stay classy, Joe.
Cheers
