Well, she certainly has a sense of humour if scantily clad. Reclining in a pool-side sun-lounger, Ms. Hilton says: “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.”
“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.”
She continues: “I want America to know that I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”
Discussing energy policy, which has this week emerged as the central issue of the Presidential campaign, Ms. Hilton endorses a combination of McCain’s plan to increase offshore oil drilling and Obama’s scheme to offer more incentives for new energy technology. She signs off: “Energy crisis solved! I’ll see you at the debates.”
I might add that she has a better energy policy than Obama. Both the Obama and McCain campaigns issued response to Paris. The Obama campaign issued a one word statement:
Whatever.
The McCain campaign had a longer statement:
Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan. 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.
Just a note there Paris, Rihanna, your choice for Vice President, is a citizen of Barbados and sadly not eligible to be Vice President. On a more serious note, the McCain “The One” ad continues to be a boon for the McCain campaign. The McCain campaign noted that the ad cost $9.99 to produce (I’m sure it was more but you get the point) but the ad continues to be played and discussed almost a week later. Ms. Hilton’s salvo only keeps it in play in the news more.
