Paris Hilton responds to McCain, announces candidacy

Paris Hilton has finally responded to the taunting attack ad which so insensitively compared her to Barack Obama.

(See video at FunnyOrDie.)

Paris shows that unlike either Obama or rival John McCain (to whom she refers herein as "that wrinkly white-haired guy"), that she can gracefully and eloquently explain complicated matters of energy policy...while wearing a bikini and heels and looking at magazines.

"I'm not from the olden days and I'm not promising change like that other guy," she explained. "I'm just hot."

But though her aspirations may have been limited before, that all changed when McCain exploited her image in his ad. "Which I guess means I'm running for president," Hilton pledged.   

Hilton then explains her energy plan, an incredible feat unto itself, as the heiress explodes all prejudices against her intellectual prowess by saying like 25 big words in a row without messing up.

If no one else has done so yet, I would like to be the first to endorse Paris Hilton for president of the United States.

UPDATE (5:01 pm): The McCain camp has apparently responded to the Paris video, telling TMZ: "Sounds like Paris is taking the 'All of the Above' energy approach that John McCain has advocated -- both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama."  Wow, seriously, is this an election for 5th grade class president?

UPDATE 2 (5:48 pm): The video's creator, Adam Mckay (the guy behind "The Landlord") talks about the moment he came up with the idea here.

Burn the witch! And McCain too for opening the door to her next 15 minutes of fame!

[seyi]

that wrinkly white-haired guy! He asked for that one. She was smart not to endorse Obama and ridicule McCain. Lets see Paris and MCCain duke it out! lol

[Barry Seymour]

First time I ever admired Ms. Hilton.

[Everyman]

Can't wait till she's the wrinkly old one.

[Not ME]

Wow "ME" pretty angry...have a sense of humor.

[rocky]

people would be much happier if they looked at life like paris hilton. good for her for mocking both obama and mccain. she makes real sense.

[George Edward]

If someone plans to run to be our president, don't you think she should be required to learn how to spell it before hand!

[Dew]

Loves it!

[danny]

I'd say now is a good time for us to be embarrassed Americans.

[Jeremy]

All Power to Paris! I'm glad she is standing up for herself and proving the critics wrong about her intelligence (or lack thereof). Her energy plan gives more details than any in Barack's or McCain's ads, and it actually makes sense. In the political world of negative attacks and constant lying and promises, Paris just made my day.

[Greg Jacobs]

What other child from a famous,rich ,white republican family also ended up to be a spoiled,self absorbed worthless failure when he got older...? Don,t beat around the BUSH now

[Gus Marin]

Vote for Paris!!!

[Etienne Plantegenet]

You are f---king fool. America is dying in its own shadow and this idiocy in the media is a dark and foolish game.

Ha Ha, the old wrinkly guy, ya know, the one who sold out his fellow inmates and became a sleeper agent//zombie for the Vietcong, got burned by Paris Hilton! That's funny!

[Christopher London]

To be candid, Paris Hilton is clearly more articulate than is John McCain and she did the whole video without stuttering, saying anything about that Iraq/Pakistan border. Overall, putting Paris Hilton in the White House would be not be as risky as putting John McCain in the White House. America would be better off if we sent John McCain off to White Castle instead.

Wow...I can't believe I'm writing this but that actually made me like Paris Hilton a little bit. And I really, really can't believe I'm writing this, but Paris Hilton's energy policy is incredibly sensible and should be seriously considered by both major-party candidates.

[Aaron The Magnificent]

Just how desperate IS the old codger that he is resorting to using a bikini-clad hooker to get votes? Our politicians are an embarrassment. This is a country's future we're talking about here, not friggin class president. Someone slap McCane with his diaper.

[Mike]

Shes not really all that hot anymore...I think she should just drift away gracefully...

[Paul]

Imagine how the international community would respond if Paris Hilton was our first female president.

[constitution]

I am pretty sure Paris is not 35. Which means she can't run for President. She must not have read the Constitution before she declared her candidacy.

[Carole Clarke]

Who knew? The broad has brains - a hybrid version of both candidates energy policies - very smart. Looks like this Hilton acorn didn't fall from Baron Hilton's oak.

[Jonathan]

It's embarrassing that Paris Hilton just gave more wisdom and offered a more common sense approach than both McCain and Obama.

[Scarlett]

What concerns me is that she doesn't even realize that she's too young to run for President.
What really concerns me is that she'd probably get elected.
Let's say she did run... The only person she could run against would be Schwarzenegger. (Let's not forget he's not an born American . :-P But if Paris gets to bend the rules...)
If we were really lucky the debates would be a macabre amalgam of The Running Man and The Simple Life. Egads!

[Phillip]

Not sure who she support, but her parents are major McCain campaign contributors. If I have to guess, she probably supports him also. Good for you Paris! :)

[Jean Chaffee]

Now that is one political ad that's hot and cool at the same time. Hey, wrinkly old guy, chill out and get with it.
