Paris Hilton may be famous for having no talent or brains, but she had a good time responding via video to the John McCain campaign ad that likened Barack Obama’s celebrity to hers. After a voiceover calling McCain “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,” Hilton thanks “that wrinkly, white-haired guy” for the endorsement, unveils her surprisingly solid energy policy and says she wants “America to know that I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”

The first candidate to bring up the name of Paris Hilton was:
Barrack Hussein Obama!

In a head to head match up with mccain she’d get my vote, even if mccain claims ‘Cindy’s hotter’.

Rising Star Barack Obama Is Resolutely Down to Earth
By Mark Leibovich
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, February 24, 2005; Page C01
There’s nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and, more to the point, how they are broken.
“Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame,” says Barack Obama. “I’ve already had an hour and a half. I mean, I’m so overexposed, I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.”
The new senator from Illinois is dazzling another venue, in this case the Gridiron Club. It is early December and Obama won’t start his new job for a few weeks. But he comes well steeped in the basic physics of hype.
“I figure there’s nowhere to go from here but down,” Obama says. “So tonight, I announce my retirement from the United States Senate.”
Can anyone explain the point Paul is trying to make? Somehow Paris Hilton’s mock campaign ad is Obama’s fault. I don’t know how but Paul must have some reason for thinking so.
Maybe Paul is just trying to cover the fact that Paris made McCain look like an old fool and even she can present a better energy policy that McCain.
If McCain is really upset then he can return the Hilton’s campaign contribution.
After it was reported that she spent $150,000 dollars on a custom-made watch (that’s on par with Steve Martin’s “$300 pair of socks”), I didn’t think there was any force in the universe that could make me like Paris Hilton.
Bravo, John! That’s quite an accomplishment!
Maybe we’ll get a side show Mccain/vs. Hilton, in the media. Can he resist the bait?
Or, will mccain have a one word four letter response; Cunt!
Maggot
The point?
The point is that Obama has compared himself to Paris Hilton.
I think that the comparison works rather well.
Maggot
Paris made fun of BOTH Obama and McCain.
Listen to her, again!
She really skewered obama, Not!
“I’m not promising change like that other guy.”
That’s the big insult towards Obama? Yeah, I suppose that’s a bigger insult than the entire ad which mocks McCain and makes numerous references to the guy being old and unfit to lead.
Oh well, I never said Paul was intelligent.
Good try, Paul, since that’s about all you have left.
Rhonda! So glad you grabbed the video!
Obama is out of gas.
The bloom is off the rose.
Obama is flat.
Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame,” says Barack Obama. “I’ve already had an hour and a half. I mean, I’m so overexposed, I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.”
I would have to concur the ad definitely mocks McCain
Gosh - Paris is supporting McCain! See:
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2008/08/paris-hilton-does-pro-mccain-ad.html
First, of course, Paris Hilton is promoting herself, as she always does. She exploited the opportunity that the McCain ad gave her, as she exploits every opportunity. That’s very free-market capitalistic of her, but that’s not my big reason. McCain’s ad presented her as an airhead (for the purpose of suggesting that Obama is also an airhead), so here she is suddenly being very smart. Her ad has her saying something that we are supposed to accept as exactly what a very smart person would say if they weren’t limited by constraints of party politics. She presents her answer on oil as a “hybrid” of the 2 candidates’ positions, but listen to it! It’s McCain’s position. She supports off-shore drilling, with appropriate environmental safeguards, as we encourage the development of alternatives energy sources.
That’s McCain’s position! Secret message of the ad: The smart position is McCain’s position, and not Obama’s.
Now, you might want to say that all that funny stuff at the beginning about McCain’s age is anti-McCain. No, it’s not! It’s McCain’s position. McCain is constantly making jokes about how old he is. How many times has he said “I’m older than dirt and more scarred than Frankenstein”?
Finally, Hilton is giving the “biggest celebrity” ad another big boost. That ad has already worked, but it was coming to the end of it’s life cycle. Hilton jolted it back alive.
Why thanks, Paris. We’ll appreciate your McCain vote in November.
Got a laugh at the attempted spin.
Apparently, McCain think this plan of attack is worthwhile–similar ads (minus Paris and Britney) are in the works.
So more irony: A guy who accuses his opponent of all image and no substance is studiously avoiding the substance himself. Nice!
How about a reality show: PrezQuest 08, or something? Complete with personal asides and dramatic music. It’s be great!
It would be exactly what we deserve.
When the advisor/lobbyist screws up, he gets voted off the Presidential Island!
After getting a chuckle from the video, McCain’s campaign released a statement.
“It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain’s ‘all of the above’ approach to America’s energy crisis - -including both alternatives and drilling. In reality, Paris Hilton may have a more substantive energy policy than Barack Obama,” spokesman Tucker Bounds said.

Sounded more like Obama’s compromise plan to me.
But, for me, enough of the mccain/paris distraction.
“America to know that I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”

Can herpes be her VP……or are they just restricted to VD?
Obama striking back, getting a little negative on mccain:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080806/pl_nm/usa_politics_dc_8
Phantom,
He was going negative on Monday. And still silence from the EDITORS.
It seems they are only going to be going after McCain this election to show us how unbiased they are.
Guess he doesn’t want to make the same mistake as Kerry, and try and stay above the fray.
Kerry demonstrated that if you keep turning the other cheek, you’ll get a bloody face.
Sorry Paris, you’re not old enoguh. Although, like McCain, you have been in the news allot for not doing anything that really qualifies you to be president of the USA.
She’s the president of the “Richard” convention
Is Paris for drilling or getting drilled?
I’m confused. Although, I would hit it.
Zero beers.
Yeah, she’s not coming up here…..And Fleettwood, bag it up, herpes is funny to me but you may not like it.
Whatever party Paris is in - can I join it?
Had more Dicks in her than a Richard convention
More men went down on her than on the Arizona.
She’s been plunged more times than a truck stop toilet.
Other then her energy plan sounds better then either McCain or Obama, the only joke about her that stuck with me was : There have been more men in Paris Hilton then in the Hilton in Paris!
BTW damn McCain! ever since yesterday I have not been able to get the image of Cindy McCain naked with a banana out of my head! But the is showing pride in his wife if he is willing to have her in the Buffalo chips beauty pageant.
Mccain pimping cindy to the bikers at the rally doesn’t sound too prideful.
From a female perspective, dog, I’m proud that my husband thinks I’m so special he wouldn’t want me to be ogled. But I must admit I am NO trophy, although in years past…! I do believe he would feel the same way even if I was. ;-)
She has 3 mil. downloads so far on her spoof of mccain.
Vote for me, Cindy’ll give you a look see!
Mccain playing the ‘bad boy’, with his motorcycle momma.
“Paris Hilton may be famous for having no talent or brains.”
Uhm, you do realize that that is a deliberately cultivated image by Ms. Hilton herself don’t you? She is actually very bright and talented at acting dumb and untalented.
Bet anything mccain got to touch And sit on the museum pieces.
Among other deficits in character McCain has NO sense of appropriate humor. In fact, he is very denigrating to women especially in his offensive sense of what is funny.
kinda like many of the jokes above are quite offensive to women. the men are innocent and all the excesses are the fault of the female. been the thinking for many a year and it isn’t good thinking. if there is sex between two people it seems both are participants in whatever that was — loving relationship or anything else — it takes two to tango.
Linda in all honesty how could you post on a thread that has the crude humor I read above and say that McCain has no sense of appropriate humor.
Why didn’t you say that to the cretins posting on this thread?
My bad Linda. I didn’t read your whole post. My apologies. You were ahead of me.
What some men think is funny!
Wow. . . I made my own joke McCain and Cindy at the biker rally (guess what type of “contest” usually ensues in such company?). I didn’t know about the Buffalo Chip business:
He suggested to Cindy and the audience that she should compete in the Miss Buffalo Chip contest. What’s so bad about that?
Miss Buffalo Chip isn’t a beauty contest in the traditional sense — it’s a relatively debauched topless (and sometimes bottomless) multiday contest where women dance, jiggle and reportedly even perform blow jobs on bananas for the titillation of the spectators. And John McCain offered up his 54-year-old wife as a contestant.

John McCain: Hey, Check Out His Old Lady!
At least McCain has a sense of humor, even though it might be a bit crude.
Who really cares? I kind of like the fact that McCain is a rough guy instead of some pansy.
Rage - Linda - lighten up. Get a life. Enjoy.

Well of course that is correct. He was raised in the era when women were like June Cleaver, blacks were segragated, gays were hidden, and the white man is in charge of it all. People can change, but those are the things he spent the majority of his life around.
Not someone I want for president.
Backfire Mccain!
And this was another in a series of inappropriate comments pertaining to women. Not an isolated slip, but an insight into his (lack of) character.
When I saw him talking and slurring his words, I couldn’t tell if he was screaming Driller here, driller now, but I could hear the crowd leering.
Let me see if I understand that when someone Obama is associated with makes an inappropriate comment that is deplorable, but McCain continues to denigrate women and I should lighten up?
How ’bout GMC, you think a bit about the fact that women (especially those my age) are the most reliable voters. Then after that you might consider if there is a woman in your life you have respect for — Mother, wife, daughter, someone — go back and reread ALL the “funny” things McCain has said. Even if you discount the time is supposedly called Cindy a c**t, there are plenty that you may listen to coming right out of his mouth. Then KNOW he is talking about ALL women, including any you may have some respect for. It isn’t funny!
“Even if you discount the time is supposedly called Cindy a c**t, there are plenty that you may listen to coming right out of his mouth.”
No one has ever proven this to be true. Even if they did, it was private conversation, said once.
To keep bringing it up as the Libs do, is even more detestable in my opinion.
What it means, is you love wallowing in the single incident of someone else’s life; being judgmental and generally being sanctimonious while not holding a magnifying lens to your own life.
I’m sure there is a comment in your life lindainks that you would like to take back.
Or would you rather someone repeat it over and over?
This from the same people who made the b.j., table/water cooler topic for about a year?
Who really cares? I kind of like the fact that McCain is a rough guy instead of some pansy.
As someone who’s actually attended a biker party (well, okay, it wasn’t an exclusive event–other people were welcome), I find this statement hilarious.
How I wish that someone had picked up on McCain’s thought, and called for a spontaneous “show your tits” contest!
Hey, when in Rome. . .
P.S. GMC: I don’t need to lighten up at all. I’m already quite amused, thank you!
Do you think Cindy brought the beer (was it in a bucket?).
I truly loved coming upon your thread - great job!
