Tom DeLay: Paris Hilton’s New Best Friend?

It seems House Majority leader Tom DeLay and Paris Hilton have at least one thing in common: a disdain for the Internet. Maybe their fear of technology is really just a desire for a simpler life?

“We’ve got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States? That’s just outrageous. And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous.” – Tom DeLay, 4/20/05

MSNBC Interview, 5/3/05:
Q: Do you read blogs?
Paris Hilton: What’s that?
Q: Um, they’re these things on the Internet where people write about news and stuff.
Paris Hilton: No, I don’t really read anything on the Internet except my AOL mail.
