Here is Paris Hilton’s response to the John McCain ad in which she declares herself a candidate for president and solves the energy crisis. Hilarious, I must say, although it cannot possibly help Obama. See the video and full text below.
Paris Hilton President?
She refers to John McCain repeatedly as that wrinkly “white-haired guy” while boldly proclaims she will “see you at the debate, bitches.” Note that she is not the first person to propose Paris Hilton for President of the United States. Vanity Fair spoofed the idea years ago.
The original McCain ad is here. You can find a lot of discussion about it, including the sleuthing work that was done to discover that Obama compared himself to Paris Hilton before John McCain ever did.
Narrator:
He’s the oldest celebrity in the world.
Like super old.
Old enough to remember when dancing was a sin
and beer was served in a bucket.
McCain, is he ready to lead?Paris Hilton:
Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too. Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy.I’m just hot.
But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I’m running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I’m, like, totally ready to lead. So
And now I want to present my energy policy for America, just as soon as I finish this article on where I can fly to get the best tan.
Oh Maui, enough said.
Ok so here’s my energy policy. Barack [Obama]wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign oil dependancy. And McCain wants offshore drilling. Well why don’t we do a hybrid on both candidates’ ideas.
“We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick-in which will then create new jobs and energy independence.
Energy crisis solved, I’ll see you at the debates, bitches!”
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pick out a Vice-President. I’m thinking Brianna.
I’ll see you at the White House. Oh, and I might paint it pink. I hope that’s cool with you guys. Bye!

That’s hilarious! You have to give her credit for a sense of humor and being able to laugh at herself.
Also, really, her energy policy idea isn’t that bad. Biatch might be a good alternative for the first female President!

i think she is annoying.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
She is a genius! Much smarter than the ancient guy.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
She wears a size 11 shoe - I’m a little embarrassed that I know that.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
lol beth

God bless you, Paris Hilton! Let’s kick those misogynistic GOP’s asses.
Wonder what Britney has to say? Write a song, girl. Your adoring public awaits.
August 5th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Valerie - she didn’t endorse Obama, in case you didn’t notice she said she’s not promising change like the other guy.
McCain can take some joking. Its Obama who gets his fweelins all hurt and has to tell people to stop making fun of him or he’s going stomp his feet and get mad and, you know, like, be mad and stuff. He’s the pouter, not McCain.
August 5th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
And a spokesperson for the McCain campaign said, “It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain’s ‘all of the above’ approach to America’s energy crisis - -including both alternatives and drilling…” Hey, didn’t she feature both in her other videos?
August 5th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
the hiltons and spears are reps.
if mccain was smart he’d appear with paris in a video to show he has a sense of humor about himself too … maybe in a fake town meeting debate
if paris gets it … then why can’t obama … that bar is not too high to jump over
August 5th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
size 11 shoes?!!!!!
she could ski on those things
August 5th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
if paris gets it … then why can’t obama … that bar is not too high to jump over
SERIOUSLY!!!! Isn’t that scary - he’s running for President and he doesn’t get the joke! Even Paris Hilton gets the joke.
Yes - she COULD ski in those! LOL
August 5th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
That’s why all I noticed in the video was her feet.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Some guys like big feet.
In any case, this is probably the smartest thing she’s ever done (not saying a whole lot). I’m sure someone else wrote it for her, but still, pretty clever.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:53 am
I try to like her…but she always manage to make me irk. She is annoying.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Oh, I didn’t realize my peers on this site are a bunch of 10-year-olds.
To clear things up, the word “misogynistic” refers to anyone, male or female, who puts down women. McCain was implying that Britney and Paris, by virtue of their being blond and female (or, let’s speak in code: “celebrities”) are incapable of offering anything of value to the American public in a leadership sense.
Just in case anyone remembers, there was a blond female candidate running for the Democratic nomination earlier this year. if you know this individual’s name, I’ll give you a blue ribbon and a banana.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Valerie K., I once said a bad thing about a woman. That must make me a misogynist.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Sigh, if anyone ever again uses the word “misogynistic” on a political site, I propose they shall me damned to an eternity of listening to Barack Obama speeches.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Actually, I believe she was thinking Rihanna for her vice president. Rihanna = cute young pop artist from Barbados. Who is Brianna?
August 7th, 2008 at 8:38 am
valerie pay attention.
the ad wasn’t about blonds or misogyny. its about the incredible silliness of celebrity for celebrity sake. ie obama and the fainting, the heart palpatations, the adoring gazes, the silly poses with halos, the masses blindly shouting ‘yes we can.’
can what? they can’t answer that.

Paris obviously has some marketing savvy… she can turn anything into a PR boost for herself
August 9th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Paris is actually very industrious and makes millions a year in a number of business ventures and courts publicity on purpose and has a great rep by the paparazi as someone nice and easy to work with. She and her Mom know what they are doing. She is very smart actually, but her image and lifestyle is her job and it pays very well. She could have easily gone to a top college and done well if she applied herself. She read her lines really well and will likely get parts in some movies down the line. McCain gave her career a boost and they were really quick to seize the moment.
