Paris Hilton made her own "campaign ad" video in response to the one by the McCain campaign which showed photos of Ms. Hilton and Britney Spears then Democratic nominee Barack Obama, supposedly to indicate how lightweight and without substance Obama is. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20217116,00.html In the video Paris gives her own energy policy and refers to McCain as that "old wrinkly dude with white hair" and thanks him for the endorsement. Earlier, her rep had said in a statement, "Miss Hilton was neither asked, nor did she give permission, for the use of her likeness in the ad, and has no further comment." I think we've underestimated Paris and she's not the empty-headed piece of fluff some people think she is. I know, someone else no doubt wrote this for her but I think she deserves credit for being willing to poke fun at herself while getting her much-deserved digs in on McBush! Annie

Yes he has. His spokesperson pointed out that Paris agrees with McCains energy plan which involves drilling for more oil while simultaneously promoting alternatives. I believe Obama's response was "Whatever".

Thank you, friend! I know the feeling, but myLot is only about 99.99% Republican. I'm so glad you're here now, I'm always praying for some of my friends to come and bail me out when I get into trouble here...lol! Annie

I heard it, and thought it was hilarious. I still think she's an empty headed piece of fluff, but, she had a good writer.

She memorized those lines and did the whole thing in just four takes! They did not use prompt cards. Now, that is something that many of the so-called educated people here on mylot will find very challenging. I dare them to try it!

I do not think that Paris Hilton is dumb at all. Sometimes I believe that this is just a role that she plays because people expect her to be that way. I believe that if guys think of her that way, then they feel they have a better chance at having their fantasies fulfilled with her. I am not a fan, nor do I keep up with what she is doing. I just feel that people underestimate her more often than not. I don't fall for the "Ditzy Blonde," persona at all.

I am impressed with her response. Very funny, and I loved the jabs at McCain. Whoever wrote this did a great job. I think it was a smart move on Paris' part.

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are humans. They had feelings too. How could he make fun of them? True, they had made many mistakes but it's not a reason enough to ridicule them. He really made a big mistake there and people will remember.
