Obama didn't ridicule her. Had he, I'd have enjoyed a similar thing about him. People can decide when something starts. Others will decide where it stops. Bucks to doughnuts there'll be no more of that kinda shot from McCain's camp.

This whole election thing reminds me of that song by the Band ....

The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival--its in the book
Life is a carnival--take another look
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot

Yeah, true. But I'm not sure that counts. I think the reason is to bug Amos. ;-)

"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," Hilton said, speaking as she reclined in a pool chair in a revealing bathing suit and a pair of pumps. "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."

"I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead," she said.

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

"Energy crisis solved! I'll see you at the debates," she said,

McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said Hilton appears to support his candidate's "all of the above" energy solution.

"Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan," Bounds said.

Paris showed that she was somewhat informed whereas McCain has not shown that
he knows very much about anything.

1. Thinks Afghanistan is on the border of Iraq.
2. No difference between Shia and Sunni
3. Winning in Iraq is destroying the country (turning it into an oil-agarchy)
4. Is not knowledgeable, self-admittedly, about economics.
5. Has turned around on oil drilling.
6. Defeated bills which would have benefitted veterans.
7. Has no tangible plan for Iraq

What is he good for?

If Obama was riding the cheap shot express, and making irrelevant ads, and trying to draw ridiculous analogies, I suspect we wouldn't have much to say, Hawk.

Obama isn't getting a free ride from everyone here, Mick. As the candidates go, Obama won a popularity contest, because he is a much less seasoned and stable candidate than Hillary, who has been through the trenches and come out alive to tell the tale. McCain's ad was not a precision instrument, he delivered it with a shotgun blast and the fact that he nicked the corner of the Paris Hilton barn when he was aiming at Obama gave rise to her response. Obama is still on shaky ground.

"Hilton's spoof also intersperses images of McCain and Yoda from Star Wars and the cast of television's "The Golden Girls.""



OK, who will YOU vote for?


"Yoda" McCain or "Han Solo" Obama?


As portrayed by Barack Obama, Han Solo is a superb Senator with a wry wit, skepticism, a reckless disposition, and technological savvy who pilots the Democratic Party along with his Wookiee copilot (TBD). He is seen as representing the rogue and "a very practical guy, at least how he thought of himself, a materialist. But he was a compassionate human being at the same time and didn't know it. The adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed"

I am supporting Obama because he is better suited to administer our government.

One of two things is true.

Either McCain doesn't know about the contest and is not as cool as he pretends to be or he talked about having his wife parading around semi-naked in front of thousands of drunk bikers. Either way, he ought never to bring up family values again.

I heard a couple days ago that Paris was 'upset' at being used in a McCain ad...she made exactly the right response, whether she created it or not.

Behind the scenes of Hilton's mock ad

Wednesday, August 06, 2008 7:10:36 PM
By DERRIK J. LANG

Paris Hilton didn't need cue cards for her presidential campaign ad.

The 24-year-old heiress memorized her entire monologue, which included Hilton outlining her energy plan, in an online video spoof posted on Funny or Die, the comedy Web site's content director said.

Co-founder Adam McKay came up with the concept for a mock ad starring Hilton, which has received over 3 million views since it was posted Tuesday.

"Adam thought it would be really funny to get Paris to respond to the John McCain ad that featured her," Funny or Die content director Amy Rhodes told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "Adam contacted Paris directly, and she agreed to do it. He wrote the sketch. And she really, really loved it."

In the online video, Hilton -- clad in a leopard-print swimsuit and heels while lounging poolside -- announces her candidacy for president and suggests an energy plan that combines elements of McCain's offshore oil drilling plan and Barack Obama's incentives for new energy technology. She also suggests a running mate: R&B singer Rihanna.

"I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead," she says in the video.

Rhodes said the video was directed by Jake Szymanski and produced by Chris Henchy of Gary Sanchez Productions. She said the video took a few hours to shoot at the house where Hilton was staying at in the Hamptons. Rhodes also said Hilton was not compensated for appearing in the video "because she decided she just wanted to do it for fun."

Jason Moore, Hilton's manager, would not comment to the AP about Hilton's appearance in the video.
