Miley Cyrus Goes Political

By tessburns

Sometimes I wish I understood the fixation with Miley Cyrus, is it that catchy tune “See You Again,” or is it just the fact that she can come across as a sane schizophrenic with her Hannah Montana counterpart? Whatever it is she’s partook in a skit with both John McCain and Barack Obama that premiered on the Country Music Television awards last night. When I read the title of this article I groaned and went “Not another thing on Miley Cyrus..” but who can run from her now? Especially since she’s in politics, not that she can vote or anything. The most she can do is be humorous

Ms. Cyrus: Hello?

Mr. McCain: Miley, it’s John McCain.

Ms. Cyrus: John McCain?

Mr. McCain: I think you know why I’m calling.

Ms. Cyrus: I can’t vote yet.

Mr. McCain: No, no. I need tickets for the show. And as a U.S. senator, of course, I’d have to pay for them.

Ms. Cyrus: Wish I could help, but I’m all out. Oh, sorry, I gotta run, Senator McCain, but good luck with the whole running for president thingy. Sounds kinda fun.

Mr. McCain: Well, what about an autographed Hannah Montana lunch box?

(Ms. Cyrus hangs up.)

Ms. Cyrus: Miley Cyrus speaking.

Mr. Obama: Miley, it’s Barack Obama.

Ms. Cyrus: Let me guess. You want tickets?

Mr. Obama: Uh, yeah. I’ve got two daughters, and they really, really love you.

Ms. Cyrus: Sorry, but I don’t–

Mr. Obama: Four words: Treasury Secretary Hannah Montana.

Ms. Cyrus: Gotta go! Since when are awards shows so political?

It’s cute right? Miley plays the ditzy pop star and McCain and Obama try and make people laugh with wanting the ever so popular tickets (and ever so expensive) to a show. What do you think about this? I have mixed reviews. It used to be SNL was what political candidates went on but that’s gone done the drain too..now Hillary Clinton is appearing on The Colbert Report for the first time ever. Which would appeal to a crowd more? Colbert..or Cyrus..?

    I think the actual voting people would prefer Colbert. Maybe Barack should go on Nickelodeon
