Paris Hilton for President? Paris Responds to John McCain Ad With Her Own Campaign Video

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

In a 30-second campaign ad that debuted last week, McCain mocked Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama’s image as a media star by flashing pictures of tabloid staples Paris Hilton and Britney Spears in the opening shots. This didn’t go over too well with the hotel heiress or her family, who have donated thousands of dollars to the Republican’s campaign.

According the the New York Daily News, Kathy Hilton donated $2,300 to McCain for the primary, the maximum allowed by law, as did her husband, Richard Hilton. Paris’s grandfather also sent McCain $2,300 for both the primary and the general election.

In response to the McCain video, Hilton snaps back with her own fake commercial hosted on FunnyOrDie.com. While wearing a leopard swimsuit in the video, she calls the 71-year-old senator a "wrinkly," "old," "white-haired dude," announces her plan to solve the energy crisis and also shares how she thinks, if she is elected president, she’ll paint the White House pink.

That’s hot.

Yep, it’s a catch 22… first the bullying tactics, and then you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t as far as leaving. If you stay you get sucked into a back and forth that ends up having little to do with the original discussion or disagreement. And if you go, it just encourages the bullying.

Are you watching all the hullabaloo over John Edwards’ confession that he had an affair? I can’t believe how many leaders are running around. First of all, you’d think they’d be too busy with their jobs to have time to play around. Secondly, you would hope those in high office would symbolize good character. Alas, it isn’t so. These men disgust me. How cruel to their better halves.

James, at first my opinion was, who cares it’s none of our business. But then when I heard the timeline, I became angry with both John Edwards AND even his wife Elisabeth a little bit. Because, he had the affair in 2006 and at least per what he has said, he immediately confessed it to his wife and family and they reconciled. Why then, when they both knew that this had happened, did he, and his wife in agreement, RUN FOR OFFICE?! I mean, just think about what would have happened had he gotten the nomination and this came out say, in October! As far as affairs go, if we had a requirement that men who had affairs could not be president, we wouldn’t have had Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy or Clinton (just to name the few I know of, and there are others who are suspected) Yet… we would still have had (to the best of our knowledge) Nixon and George W. Bush.

What’s interesting is how these affairs eventually hit the press. These guys are so full of themselves that they think they can hide it. I knew Edwards was pretty vain when I heard he was getting $1,000 haircuts.

But James, you know what amazes me about that? Edwards took all that flak for his haircut, while McCain owns 9 houses and is walking around in $520 Ferragamo Loafers… and the media isn’t badgering him about that. Most Americans don’t even know it, in fact most don’t know the privileged background he has come from and how wealthy his wife is… and he is somehow known to a lot of average joes as a common man, which is very far from fact.

That might explain why he can’t understand why working-class people want this “war” in Iraq to end, so the economy can get back on its feet. Super-rich people don’t know what it’s like to worry about losing a home, to have bare cupboards, this kind of thing.

Yes James, I’m sure it is, and it’s also why he chose a man as his top economic advisor who has the attitude that Americans are “whiners” when it comes to the economy.

Tell Mom to send another contribution—you are back in the news! Worth every penny.

But maybe to the OTHER candidate? Don’t hit me Star! Damn–right in the solar plexus! This is very clever–––reminded me of another little smarty pants in “Legally Blond.”

Great video! And kudos to Paris for letting the public see that she has a brain to accompany her sense of humor. So the Hiltons have come to realize that the McCain campaign are users, even of their own big-time contributors. Most of us knew it all along.

I think this video is the perfect response to the McCain ad, and here’s what her mom (his contributor) had to say about it: “I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of the money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign. It is 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. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States.”

I have a few words on McCain’s campaign too:

Juvenile: Characteristic of children; immature; childish; puerile; infantile; as, a juvenile temper tantrum.
frivolous: Given to trifling; marked with unbecoming levity; silly; interested especially in trifling matters.
denigrating: harmful and often untrue; tending to discredit or malign; — used of statements.

Thank God “we will always have Paris.” When she reeled off her ‘energy policy’, she sounded more serious and grown-up than McCain. That is irony enough for me, but when she said “see you at the debates, b**ches” - OMG, LUIH (laugh until I hyperventilate)

Perfect words for McCain’s campaign Zera… describes it perfectly. That is part of why this video is so funny, the way Paris talks puts McCain right in his place for the childish quality of his ads and even some of the nasty, trite comments he’s been making about Obama on the stump.
