Who would have imaged we would put John McCain, Barack Obama and Paris Hilton in the same headline? We can thank the John McCain campaign for that. Celebrity Paris Hilton delivers a hilarious response — and an energy policy – to the John McCain “Celeb” ad that compared Barack Obama’s celebrity status to that of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears while questioning his ability to lead. Yes, a Presidential election can take us to strange places and circumstances.
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.

Are we really surprised at any of this? As Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche once said, “Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.”
