Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Celeb Commercial
Email
ShareAugust 05, 2008 7:07 PM
ABC News' Tahman Bradley Reports: Paris Hilton has issued a response (kinda) to presidential hopeful John McCain's television commerial which lumps her together with Barack Obama and Britney Spears in the sometimes reviled celebrity category.
Sitting on a lawn chair in a bathing suit, Ms. Hilton says to camera, "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."
She continues, "But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means that I'm running for president."
And so, since Hilton has interpreted the comparison to Sen. Obama, D-Ill., as meaning that she too is qualified to be leader of the free world, Hilton, jokingly, lays out her campaign platform.
The video has some more tough words for the "wrinkly white-haired" Arizona Senator: "He's the oldest celebrity it the world, like super old. Old enough to remember when dancing was a sin and beer was served in a bucket.," a narrator says, with a picture of Larry King and then Yoda to drive home the age point.
McCain campaign spokesperson Tucker Bounds used word of the video to take a stinging swipe at Obama. "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," Bounds said in a statement.
The video is posted on the user-driven video site backed by Will Ferrel and Adam McKay, FunnyOrDie.com. Watch it HERE.

"Both Paris and Britney were millionaires by age 30--Obama certainly was not."
Obama has the moves. Paris and Britney have the curves. All three trade on skin.
Waiting for the moderator's whistle. 1,2,3...

For all the poll trackers Obama is up by 4 in today's Gallup Tracking and six on the AP IPSOS. McCain is one up (47 to 46) on the Rasmussen which is the same as yesterday. It's close but may be different in electoral vote outcome just as was the 1960 election.

Hilarious that Paris calls McCain that "white haired old guy".
The ad shows that creature from "Tales of the Crypt".
The Bitch strikes Back!!!

McCain gets bitch slapped by Paris!!!
I JUST LOVE THIS!!!

Hey, Paris, the wrinkly white-haired guy could just about be Bill Clinton. Seriously, Bill is starting to lose his youth. And, by the way, most presidents look wrinkly and white-haired. Moreover, McCain is just 25 years older than Obama. Obama is now 42, and next month McCain is 72. Finally, whose got the experience - i.e., where's the beef?

Rewind!
I meant Paris just bitch slapped McCain!!!!

Yoda, errrrrrr, McCain is in deep doo doo.
POTUS OBAMA - ITS INEVITABLE CYNICS
By the way.....With opponents like McCain, victory is ever sure.
Can you say BLOWOUT? Keep praying on your weegie boards while putting all your cynical little hopes in a POLL.
What lemmings..........America's Finest

Dear Paris
If people would compare somebody's real stupidnes to "OTHER" people real stupidnes, you would be that "OTHER", so far you are the only "OTHER". That is why McCain could not find anybody better, because he is stupid also. I think he could have use George W Bush, but noooo, that is his friend, how could he do that to the man who brought democracy to so many coutries.

"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means that I'm running for president."
Can't argue with that logic...

Utterly offense. Kids have no manners these days.

"wrinkly white-haired guy"
Ha Ha, that's hot!

Jo said: Obama was the FIRST one to compare himself to Paris Hilton....3 years ago! "I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse"
________________________________________
Jo, Barack’s comment was self-deprecating. He wasn't comparing himself to Paris Hilton nor bragging about his celebrity, he was criticizing the media's fascination with him.

I can't wait for Britney to make her video, too. This is just too good.

TOP VP Choices for McCain Just In!!!
McCain/Bozo the Clown-Connects with the voters
McCain/Yosemite Sam-Excellent on National Defense
McCain/Mister Ed-Peta loves em!
McCain/Barney - Gay vote locked
Whatever his choice is, it should fall into one of the above four categories.
Is this the best the Repugs have in this election?
LANDSLIDE
POTUS OBAMA - DON'T YOU KNOW? ITS INEVITABLE
Posted by: Nat Turner | Aug 5, 2008 8:04:33 PM
Hey, Paris has a sense of humor! You go girl.
Obama, take a note. The best response is not whining.
Take another note. The energy plan she voiced was McCain's.
