The One Hispanic Vote McCain Doesn't Need - Perez Hilton's

As many Republican office bosses can probably attest, their underlings are spending too much time checking celebrity gossip websites, the most popular of which is Perezhilton.com.  Perez Hilton is the nom de célébrité pute of Cuban American Mario Lavandeira.  A visit to his site will make you start dropping modern feminist terms like 'misogynist' at levels once reserved only for Gloria Steinem.  His sexism is brazen as his targets are mostly women.  The words "bitches", "whores", and "skanks" are emblazoned over the pictures of female celebrities with abandon with no hint of irony.  Catherine Zeta-Jones got the "twat" treatment as recently as Wednesday:

The excessive sexism even has the feminist blog, jezebel.com, devote a regular feature documenting Mario's in-your-face woman-hating. 

Huffington Post has begun to recognize (and I do too) that Perezhilton.com may have some pull in our politics.  His wall-to-wall coverage of celebrity news (some of which he breaks) ranks up there with Drudgereport in providing for water-cooler conversations.  Day-by-day, Mario attacks McCain and other GOP politicians on gay issues (Mario's gay). 

However, as Huffpo's Kelli Goff pointed out, gay rights aren't even that popular on Perez Hilton's site as his latest attack on McCain generated 700 comments, and from the looks of it, a surprisingly large number were against the blogger. 

His website may be popular, but his pull with his audience is tenuous.  He supported the failing bid of Hillary Clinton and was there to fan the Rev. Wright flames to no affect on his readership.  Positive posts on Obama are always swamped with anti-Obama comments. 

One of his problems may be is that celebrity gossip is a downmarket, uh, market.  You know, red state kind of a thing.  Basically, Mario's choir is deaf to his existence as a purveyor of such gossip and because he is a gossip-monger, his more 'serious' opinions are sidelined.
