    “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.”

    Hee Hee!!!!

    Yep, he's the old white haired dude that beats his fists in the air. < :-)

    Wow, Hilton can read from a cue card just as well as Obama, but has a better energy plan.

    Parties like a Clinton, more qualified than Obama. Oh well, maybe the democrats can nominate her in 2012.

    WhiteHawk,

    It would be far better if McCain could choose her as his VP, but, alas, she won't be eligible until 2016. Of course, we could change the Constitution for her.

    I think the key point here is humor. McCain claimed that he was only adding humor to the campaign. Hilton showed what humor is.

    On second thought, McCain would do far better to hire Hilton as his campaign manager. That might let him get a piece of being totally hot. According to Maureen Dowd (OK. OK. So she's not impartial.) what has driven McCain to his juvenile negativiety is the fact that McCain cannot be handsome flyboy about town with Obama around.

    Whitehawk, Wow.
    The same can go both ways.

    Parties like a Bush (she and w were even arrested for the same crime!) and has a better energy plan than McCain and does just as good a job at insulting women.

    Oh yeah, and her family is republican. Perhaps the Democrats aren't the ones that should be looking at Paris for 2012.

    “a complete waste of the country’s time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs.” Like everything surrounding her. How much media coverage was there on a famous trip to jail?

    "I'm hot" No, you are not! You are white as a ghost and look like an icicle. that wrinkly, white-haired guy used me" Had to laugh at that one but as for using you...

    Taka, please don't talk about Paris going both ways. One home video was three too many. :)

    Her energy policy is closer to McCain's... this week. Once Obama gets wind that Paris Hilton made more sense on an issue than he does, he'll change his mind (again) to catch up.

    WhiteHawk,

    Taka, please don't talk about Paris going both ways. One home video was three too many. :)

    Touche'!

    But again, the same can be said for both candidates. Once McCain is told that Paris' energy policy made more sense than his, he'll likely have joe lieberman tell us what his REAL policy is.

    I'm getting the impression that I won't be alone in holding my nose while in the ballot booth in November.

    White Hawk,

    Which part of her energy plan did you think sounded more like McCain's--the part about limited offshore drilling if it can be done on an environmentally sound basis? I think Obama supports that You must mean providing tax incentives for the development of hybrid cars, then?

    It seems to me that Hilton rather went out of her way to compromise on an energy plan. Compromise, by the way, is something that Obama supports.

    What does it say about us when Paris Hilton has a better thought-out and articulated energy plan than our presidential candidates?

    Triumvere,

    Indeed! "Dumb blonde" Judy Holliday had an IQ of 172. Not that intelligence translates well into politics, though.

    I absolutely loathe Paris Hilton, and thing she's very UNattractive. What's more, the whole, 'She's a lot smarter than she's made out to be' comments are a joke and a half. She's about as smart as peeing against the wind is.

    Still, the add shows that she can at least punch back at people who attack her (as McCain did) -- or at least, the WRITERs can. I just wish she ripped him apart -- it would have been so simple; talking about how McCain promises so much for the people and yet pi$$es on even his own contributors (so how can people expect him to help the little guy?); showing back to back footage of a promise and its inevitable flip-flop, etc.

    But I guess ultimately, one of the smartest and most poignant points of the clip, albeit it was probably not 100% intentional, is that it avoids the attempt to intentionally harm others, as McCain's adds clearly do. In that respect McCain's been outplayed by the (dumb blonde) Hilton he sought to liken Obama to (and as such, Obama outdoes him too!).

    McCain is a loser, and while I'm sure he'll chuckle to the cameras about the add, the near-bursting veins in his patched and wrinkled face will indicate how near to the stroke he is on the inside.

    The good thing is that the more the liberals talk about the ad the more it reinforces what Mr. McCain was trying to get across.

    It reminds me of companies that create ads that purposly are controversial and then get tons of free air time as they are reported.

    Paris shows up for her ad in a skimpy swimsuit -- reinforcing the "bimbo" image Mr. McCain's ad tries to pin on Obama -- and at the same time Paris gets tons of free airtime since she is in the skimpy suit and fills the ad with her typical form of communication.

    Apparently, the leftists don't mind that psychologically this ad will imprint in the minds of American voters as will the image of Paris in her lawnchair. The more they talk about it the more it will spread into the public psychie.

    There's more than meets the eye here.

    Not sure why the family is so upset - there has been a video of her having sex, the world watched in amusement as she endured the worst hours of her life by being incarcerated and she starred in a TV series depicting two bubble heads blundering their way through life.

    If anything they should be flattered that the McCain recognized her status as a near cultural icon. It is, after all, an image she carefully crafted.

    Like obama, she was actually did a pretty good at stringing together long sentences with big words and acting like she understood what she said.

    Let's hope Sen. Obama can "play" better at president than the current waster, eh, ramen?

    Let me get this straight... McCain insults one of his campaign donators and their daughter. Their "bimbo" daughter makes a bimbo commercial in which she does a better job of spelling out an energy plan than Sen. McCain, while mocking him...while dressed like a bimbo?

    Could someone explain to me the part where this is bad for Sen. Obama?

    Between this, the tire gauge thing that exploded in his face causing him to reverse gears and offering up his wife for a biker beauty pageant (working that family values vote), I'd say this hasn't really been a red letter week for the McCain camp.

    She then discusses energy policy, and suggests a hybrid of McCain’s offshore oil drilling plan and Obama’s incentives for new energy technology.

    I'd tell Obama to give Paris's hybrid idea a pass but hey if he wants to listen to her ideas what the heck.

    Mr. McCain ought to invite Paris to one of his town hall meetings for a debate on her energy plan since Sen. "anytime, anywhere" continues to decline the offer.

    Ha Ha!!! I saw an interview with the two guys who put this video together. Paris didn't use a cue card at all. And Paris looked great.

    Not all old and wrinkly. I'd be concerned after Ronald Reagan, that John McCain doesn't have the youthfulness to do the job either. < :-)

    I don't know about that, but she definitely does a better job of spelling out an energy plan than Sen. Obama's energy girl!

    Easy, tak. It hurts Obama because anyone who watches Paris Hilton's vid has to admit that she appears every bit as qualified as Obama to be the Democrat nominee.

    You can disagree, but you know what it would mean -

    you must be some kind of misogynist.
