| Paris Hilton fires back at McCain's "Celeb" ad |
| 2008-08-06 |
| Paris Hilton has fired back in response to presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain's "Celeb" ad comparing the 27-year-old heiress to Barack Obama. The less-than-two-minute spot, paid for by the comedy video Web site, funnyordie.com. It features Hilton sprawling in a lounge chair in a swimsuit. The socialite mocks McCain's ad, saying, "I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead." OOH! Like, that's gonna leave a mark. I hope Cindy doesn't get the wrong idea about the pink lipstick Obama left on McCain's knee. What are Hilton's thoughts on energy policy? She says her position is a "hybrid" of Obama and McCain's. "Energy crisis solved," the heiress declares. A hybrid? I guess now we need to know which week she is talking about so we know which of Obama's plans to refer to. Hilton, who's built a career out of being a celebrity, also reveals her pick for vice president and plans while in office. "I'm thinking Rihanna. I'll see you at the White House. Oh, and I might paint it pink. I hope that's cool with you guys," she says. "I'm Paris Hilton and I approve this message because I think it's totally hot." The McCain camp responded to Hilton's ad Tuesday. "It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain's 'all of the above' approach to America's energy crisis - including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan," says McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds. Must . . . keep . . . straight . . . face!!! |

| #6 I liked the Ad - 'Cuzin Paris' choice of attire is upstanding, although personally I think she could've selected better shoes + change body positions in a sequence. MARKETING + PUBLIC RELATIONS = "TOTAL PACKAGE/IMAGE" DEAL! |

| #5 Her swimsuit is hideous and must leave bizarre tan lines. |

| #4 Paris has grown as an entertainer since the sex video. She is much more believable now. |

| #2 I'm no fan of Paris, but it does appear she's at least able to laugh at herself. That's more than you can say about Barack Obama. |
