The Roundup, a political newsletter out of Sacramento, turned me on to this Paris Hilton video answering presidential candidate John McCain's ad mentioning her. It's not bad, especially when Hilton starts citing her energy policy and what it takes to pick out a vice president. She might even run for president in between getting a nice tan.
You can watch it by clicking here. It's less than two minutes long, and already has had more than 2.4 million views. It's on the Web site Funny or Die.
Hilton refers to McCain as that "wrinkly white-haired guy." Hilton says McCain using her in his ad must mean that he's endorsing her for president. So now she's running. "I'm Paris Hilton and I approved this message because I think it's totally hot."
The McCain campaign started this back and forth with an ad that mocks opponent Barack Obama, saying he is a mere celebrity, like Hilton and Britney Spears. Oddly, Hilton's parents are big McCain supporters and have given the Republicans campaign donations.

Typical Paris although sdhe does sound as though there could be a brain in there. McCain needs to talk about his plans not Obama.
Some folks cant' see humor when it hits them in the face. Paris Hilton? Moses? Lighten up guys.
Poor(brings to mind another 'poor' rich girl, Barbara Hutton, but that is another story) Paris(Is Paris Burning) Hilton can not possible have a loaf. If she did, she would act a little better. Stop trying to come off as Marie Antoinette(Let them eat cake).
Paris(don't you just hate folks with a world capitol for a name) should be so lucky to look as good as John McCain at his age. Not bloody likely with all of the sun she gets.
She should take a cue from her parents and join the Republican effort to elect him president. Obama wants to take her wealth and give it to the oppr folks that salivate over her latest antics.
Jay Leno aired that last night. I think it's funny. Although I don't think McCain supporters will find it funny. It's always funny when the other candidate is made fun of and not yours.
It seems to me there's an underlying story that Paris wanted to sue McCain for using her name and likeness in his campaign without her permission. Perhaps her parents talked her out of it. I'll have to look that up.
Ok, F. Jay Dougherty of Loyola Law School in Los Angeles answers the lawsuit question.
RobdeFrees,
You think McCain looks good for his age?
I've seen dinosaurs with a better mug.
Rich,
Considering what the poor dear has been through it is amazing. MOI is 10 years younger than and cries when looking in the mirror and remembering how grand one looked at an earlier time. To be true, MOI does not cry but it sounds every so dramatic.
MOI thinks Senator McCain has a noble face and his eyes are bright with the inner honesty of his convictions.
Mind, the true beauty of a person is within, and in Senator McCain's case beats a heart that is American through and through.
Oi!!!!! Is there any doubt who MOI will cast vote for?
when a man spends 5 years of his life being tortured, while imprisoned, doesn't that make him uniquely qualified for the job of president? i don't know if Obama 'gets' torture or not, but surely Mcain's personal experiences make him the better man for the job...

Blogger "dave provost" may appreciate this quote from
"DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA" a renowned classic by Alexis de Tocqueville.
"...Moliere criticized the court [of Luis XIV ed.) in plays acted before the courtiers. But the power which dominates the United States does not understand being mocked like that. The least reproach offends it, and the slightest sting of
truth turns it fierce...."
I have been with the beehive blog the better of six weeks. I have not seen much appreciation for humor in it. And when there was humor, the BLOG started shooting darts. Some poisonous, some not. Funny-Bone ticklers BEWARE!
"He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors."

Now Isabell...I have appreciated your humor more than once, even if I have not drawn attention to it.
And where have I seen that quote before? It's very on the mark...and I am as guilty as the next.
"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

Now I truly have respect for Paris Hilton.
Well he may be old but not to old to get rich arm candy for a wife. At least he has seen action and knows what it is about. He has my vote over Obama cause I simply don't trust him.
I think that it's a very smart way to get back at McCain. It's nice to see humor in politics. You may not like Paris, but this was a very interesting thing to pull off.
On a side note, I would prefer to hear the candidates speak of real issues instead of playing around with who's a celebrity and who isn't.
Paris in the White House?
That would make Clinton and Kennedy look like a couple of choir boys!
Wonder if Hugo Chavez or Achmininininjabibaabab (good grief! how do you spell that name? Sorry, too lazy today to look it up!) would allow such a video clip to air? Far from perfect, but y'gotta admit--ours is still the greatest country out there. This video and Obama's unpleasant magazine cover are proof.
Kinda ironic that McCain's ad seems to have done more to boost Hilton's career than his own campaign.
THANK YOU! "Custom Window Treatment." We must get down to real issues. Too much of America is being bought up by foreign capital. An entire generation's retirement is at risk. Healthcare is a national scandal. The war gobbles up trillions of Dollars. I can't think in those numbers. It's like the distance of the stars.
Americans' job are lost by the hundreds of thousands collectively. There are children in America who are suffering for lack of food.
Yes! I too would like to hear about pressing issues and solutions thereof.
Jackie- you say McCain has arm candy for a wife and in the next sentence say he's seen action and knows what it's about.Please explain what kind of action y'all is talkin bout.
Military action not the in the gutter you type you sre thinking about. If you thought about what you write as much as you do everyone elses you will find that you make no more sense than the rest of us.
