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.

Gotta give it to the FunnyOrDie folks. This is hilarious!

See you at the debate...bleep'ches!

[Mark Miceli]

HAHAHA! Thats Hot! McCains Not!

[Ken]

Right on! I could not have said it better. Another old and wrinkly guy.

[SexySean]

Did anyone else notice that when she was speaking on her "energy policy" her voice completely changed and, if you closed your eyes (I know that is difficult for you straight guys), she ALMOST sounded normal and half-way educated. Makes me wonder if she is making a ploy to garner her next 15 min of fame AND push for everyone working together.

It says a lot.

[Robert Mullins]

Out of the mouths of babes!

[Fernando]

Very smart and funny. Well done, Paris!

[Phil]

Wow, LA Times had hit an all time low, defending the "so insensitively" ridiculed and "exploited" Paris Hilton. No wonder nobody takes the LA Times seriously anymore and its circulation is dropping like a ton of bricks. BTW, great choice for a photo of Paris. Mouth wide open...ready to insert something. Talk about "exploited".

[Jeffrey Allen Miller, NY]

I still don't know who she is....

[Billy]

She's right. She's hot.

[doorman]

Well, I guess she has slightly less experience the Barack Obama, but her energy policy does make more sense. If it was between Barack Obumma and Paris Hilton, I think I would vote for....Paris. At least she know's she's not qualified, which makes her less delusional than Barack Obummer.

[Garth]

As much as Paris would like all of us to see pictures of her, personally I'd rather see the still withheld pictures of John Edwards looking like a deer in the headlights at the Beverly Hilton hotel.......

[vote_no_to_obama]

lol!!
vote for anyone BUT obama!

Do NOT vote for Obama!!!

[hobieboy]

I wonder if Bush can spell "President" either?

[captainsora]

She fails with her energy policy. Limited offshore drilling won't provide gasoline until years from now, and very little at that. "Environmental oversight" means nothing after the Bush administration has rendered oversight toothless. The banking industry is Exhibit A for that. So offshore drilling should be off the table for reasons of both inadequacy and environmental problems.

What an idiot!!! this woman is so stupid. This country is messed up because of people like her who have never and will never work for a living. This woman has no idea of what normal people have to do in this country she is just another spoiled rich brat, the only way she could make a living is on her back!! i cant beleive these types get air time

[Superman]

The best part is....she makes more sense than either one of the two fools running.

[Sidney Lanier]

It's called the WHITE House. Let's keep it that way!

McCain '08!

[justin]

This comeback is excellent! very well done.

Put yourself in Paris Hilton's shoes. the presidential candidate you and your family endorse creates a commercial saying, "Don't vote for Obama -- he's like Paris Hilton! And you don't want Paris Hilton in the White house, do you?"

Wouldn't you be a little bit upset if a commercial berating you was all over the television, the news and the internet? I would be outraged.

Like her or not, she's totally irrelevant to the question of who next should lead our nation and using her image and name in a negative way is totally uncalled for and unfair. This is a great response to a stupid commercial by a presidential candidate who is desperate to gain ground against a stronger candidate.

[Bitter Nation]

Paris, would you please run this ad on the major networks ?

[Sally]

This is great, and shows that modern "celebrities" are generally savvy and aware of what is actually funny, unlike politicians--that is, until Obama. She's endorsed Obama simply by saying "Don't knock celebrities, old guy, because celebrities are more in touch with the real world than you are." She makes you see how appealing a celebrity with a real and sensible message truly is. Thanks, Paris.

Oh yeah, great, drill for offshore oil until green tech reaches critical mass. What a great idea. If Paris can figure out how to build a few hundred oil platforms and put them into production by the end of the year, then she IS a damned genius.

We don't need to drill for more oil, we need to reign in the speculators. Maybe Paris can have a little chat with Daddy who can pass on the word to his investor friends.

paris reads from the teleprompter very nicely

[Hitobito]

Paris Hilton is hotter and smarter than the "old, wrinkled white haired guy". And she can do things in the Oval Orifice that the old wrinkled white haired guy could never do! She can even read a teleprompter better than the old white haired guy. McCain asked for this...and he got buggered!

[May]

McCain is as dumb as Bush. He has lowered the standards of a serious election to dumb drivel. He is just too, too silly. Does he have Alzheimers? We could end up with another Looney like Bush.
