Remember when Snooki and John McCain Twitter-flirted, revealing Snooki as a closet right-winger and McCain as actually taking the advice of daughter Meghan? That perfect storm has transmogrified into an interview wherein Snooki calls John McCain "really cute."

Behold: MTV's fake-baked mascot for classlessness discusses politics with a woman who was once thought to be the future of the Republican party:

Snooki: I only know politics about, like, you know, tanning and being a Guidette. So when I saw it was Obama and McCain, to be honest with you, the only reason why I voted for your father was because he was really cute and I liked when he did his speeches.

Meghan: Well, thank you. [Laughing] I appreciate that, though it's a little weird… Are you still pissed off about the tax on tanning?

Snooki: Um, I really don't see the reason why there would be a tax on tanning, because so many people go tanning even though they're not, like, Guido/Guidettes. People go tanning because they like to feel tan.

At the end of the interview, Meghan goes on a weirdly self-market-y tangent, offering to help Snooki reach a "different demographic":

Meghan: If you have anything else you want to say to your fans, I hit a different demographic, it's a little bit older.
Snooki: You're awesome. And I love McCain. And no matter how old you are, just be yourself and don't care what people think.
