She’s got a sense of humor, a thoughtful energy policy, and nearly as much federal legislative experience as Barry O. If grotesque overexposure and grandiose ego are now prerequisites for the presidency, then the choice is … actually, the choice still isn’t clear, is it? Exit question: Way better than Bob Barr, though, right?

Update: Hot.
In the unkindest cut of all, McCain’s spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, “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.”

That’s hawt…
ninjapirate on August 5, 2008 at 6:48 PM
OMG! I sooooo wish she were really running! She would skim most of the idiot vote off of Obama, leaving him with about 8%. Then White Haired Dude would take it all! And the whole thing would be funny as hell, of course. That’s the most I’ve liked Paris, ever.
aero on August 5, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Haha. The best post of Paris on HA yet. Clever response by her/her team.
Spirit of 1776 on August 5, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Sad state of affairs when you would actually vote for her over Obama.
Vigilante on August 5, 2008 at 6:50 PM
thats funny stuff. shes still not hot though. not ugly, but not hot either.
palefaced on August 5, 2008 at 6:51 PM
She’s like totally what is wrong with our country. like
carbon_footprint on August 5, 2008 at 6:51 PM
Could we do worse, actually?
Mazztek on August 5, 2008 at 6:51 PM
Amusing.
And quite telling that she can actually sound more intelligent reading a script than Obama.
Voidseeker on August 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
wow…thats…well….I dunno what that is…but her proposal for energy is spot on…we need to do everything…drill, nuclear, alternative renewable sources…the solution is everything, and for paris to realize that and none of our candidates…thats just, well, kinda sick actually
SoCalInfidel on August 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
Wow, she is better than both of those other dorks.
BL@KBIRD on August 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
Nice job … except she wants a black girl to play second fiddle. Isn’t that racist? I also noticed some shadowy figures in the background, barely discernible. Does she have black servants?
Hmmmmmmm … there’s more to this ad than meets the eye. Just what is Paris Hilton implying with this ad?????
darwin on August 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
The scary thing is that Paris in this commerical basically sums up the average Democrat intellect when it comes to serious issues. That’s why they can continue to nominate windbags like Obama who pander to the lowest common denominator. More votes get cast for American Idol than for the American president. That’s the first clue.
Texas Rainmaker on August 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
thats the first time Paris Hilton amused me
Roger Waters on August 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
She looks like a fetus.
Exurban Jon on August 5, 2008 at 6:53 PM
So, like, this is what, like, she does, like, when she’s not, like, getting arrested, like, or starring in, like, dingy sex videos. Like.
In the position of Secretary of State, we have Ms. South Carolina…
amerpundit on August 5, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Dude, does that mean she ain’t drinking the (not racist flavored) “Cool-Aid”? Didn’t Angelina Jolie say we need to finish the job in Iraq.
They must both be RAAACIST.
Agrippa2k on August 5, 2008 at 6:54 PM
The part where she said, “guess that means I’m running for president,” annoyed me. She’s a celebrity. People are going to use pictures of her just cause.
But, the rest of it was awesome. I wouldn’t even mind her energy plan.
Esthier on August 5, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Good for her! I think Sen. McCain’s ad using her image was funny and made a good point, but I can see how she might have been a tad bemused at getting used to make a political comparison. Her energy policy is fairly sensible. However, I’m not onboard with the idea of painting the White House pink.
Jill1066 on August 5, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Lulz. She’s starting to show her age.
spmat on August 5, 2008 at 6:57 PM
She pretty much stole McCain’s energy policy.
DaveS on August 5, 2008 at 6:59 PM
I’ll wager she’ll get write-in votes and she takes between .5-1% of the vote on 11/4/08. McCain’s folks made a mistake by messing with this little peach.
Hell hath no fury…

Darvin Dowdy on August 5, 2008 at 6:59 PM
“See you at the debate bitches” is now my favorite political quote.
I think that’s the first time Ms. Hilton has done anything other than annoy me.
High Desert Wanderer on August 5, 2008 at 7:00 PM
…and herpes infested.
Tim Burton on August 5, 2008 at 7:00 PM
She’s 26! I personally wouldn’t mind showing my age. I’m the same age, yet I can’t do anything without getting carded.
And I’m not just talking about buying drinks. I’ve been carded for movies, video games, cigarettes (not mine), anything.
For the last ten years (since I started driving), I’ve been hearing how nice it’ll be to look young when I’m older.
Esthier on August 5, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Better than Ubama
SaintOlaf on August 5, 2008 at 7:02 PM
As long as she didn’t endorse Obama, that’s hot.
(I see an old white-haired dude in her future, too…)
profitsbeard on August 5, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Um. Did she just sound smart?
Sure, she was reading a teleprompter … but I’m pretty sure she just sounded smarter than McCain, Bush, Obama, or Clinton do … when *they* read off a teleprompter.
Not to mention the fact that her energy policy pretty much makes more sense than all the rest of them combined. Arguably not much different than McCain’s but the delivery was better.
If we can all pretend she’s 35 and she picks Fred! for a running mate, I could be persuaded to vote for her.
Professor Blather on August 5, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Not hot.
MikeZero on August 5, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Admit it, guys. If you really had the chance, you’d hit it.
I know I would. Pathetic, but true.
SWLiP on August 5, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Oh Boy,now that was good,Paris got a little
Frank Zappa’s Valley girl,gag me with a spoon
type of lingo!
Well,I’m stunned,McCains campaign ad did strike
some nerves,and is working!
Those were nice golden spikes that Paris had
on tho,and her Energy plan was smokin hot!haha
canopfor on August 5, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Today’s “leak” from the McCain team: Now asking Paris Hilton’s office for paperwork related to vetting her for VP.
aero on August 5, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Sure, as long as “strict environmental oversight” doesn’t mean the wackos get to wrap Gaia in a depleted uranium chastity belt.
I’m pretty sure Paris is anti-chastity belt. So, okay.
Stephen M on August 5, 2008 at 7:07 PM
I guess this would be the second video of her without an engorged organ dangling in her face…
BigWyo on August 5, 2008 at 7:07 PM
If she can find Iraq & Zimbabwe on a map, I’ll endorse her.
Exit Question: Does this mean we’ll be seeing the secret Obama sex tape soon?
Nethicus on August 5, 2008 at 7:08 PM
AP, you deserve a raise for this alone.
Entelechy on August 5, 2008 at 7:10 PM
That was like totally cool and her energy policy is pretty hot. She has far more common sense than Pelosi or Reid, which makes them all the more pitiful.
Buy Danish on August 5, 2008 at 7:10 PM
I think she’s too skinny to be president.
Uh oh, was that racist? Or is it only racist to call a black person skinny?
I’m so confused.
AZCoyote on August 5, 2008 at 7:11 PM

apollyonbob on August 5, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Didn’t she just propose McCain’s plan? Off-shore drilling and incentives for alternative energy?
Queasy on August 5, 2008 at 7:11 PM
My wife had the same problem you are dealing with when she was your age. Now, past 50, she loves it.
Buford Gooch on August 5, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Hasn’t it been reported she’s earned $187 million this year?
She’s shown better promotional skills right here than either campaign has shown.
I for one thing of her as less a bimbo than I did ten minutes ago.
I hope she gets Morgan Freeman to run as VP.
Stephen M on August 5, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Anything is better then Barr.
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, I hope that’s alright with you bitches! Where do I go to sign up!
Rode Werk on August 5, 2008 at 7:15 PM
Aimed for ‘think’ - produced ‘thing’. Hilton Effect?
Not even my type really.
Stephen M on August 5, 2008 at 7:16 PM
I have the same issue. Carded almost everywhere I go, I could buy a lollipop and get carded… and I am in my 30’s now.
You will like it when you get past 30… trust me. :)
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 7:17 PM
That was quite entertaining!
Bob's Kid on August 5, 2008 at 7:18 PM
can’t be worse than McAmnesty and the Change dude.
koypop on August 5, 2008 at 7:19 PM
What specifically do you dislike about Barr’s position on the issues?
King of the Britons on August 5, 2008 at 7:21 PM
What a coincidence, she probably forgot what year it was 10 minutes ago.
BigWyo on August 5, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Sheesh…go ahead and flame me but I thought it was humorous. Personally I detest the woman but have to admit that the video was a cute parody and made me chuckle. Admittedly she seems a real nit-wit but have conservatives lost any sense of humor? All these “ultra-critical’ comments over something so trivial? We often bemoan the Dems lack of humor but what has happened to ours?? Just asking.
dustoffmom on August 5, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Now THAT was funny - “See you at the debates…bitches” I fell out when she said that.
JeffWeimer on August 5, 2008 at 7:21 PM
She’s got my vote!
gridlock2 on August 5, 2008 at 7:23 PM
This isn’t fair. I think she needs to be debated and vetted by my personal staff before any considerations can be made to put her on a ticket.
Rovin on August 5, 2008 at 7:24 PM
Do you think she will make the WhiteHouse a Hilton hotel?
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 7:25 PM
I would love to Paris and Obama debate in a open townhall. Yeee haaaa my 2 cents are on Paris!
allrsn on August 5, 2008 at 7:30 PM
I’m not surprised. Who’s more of an expert when it comes to Crude Drilling…
ronsfi on August 5, 2008 at 7:31 PM
wow. Hilton 08?
how did she manage to sound so smart. And she looked smart too! Is there really more than fluff between her ears?
ehmygirl on August 5, 2008 at 7:32 PM
Here you go off his Barr’s website:
barr flip flops just as much as anyone else. You can find that under this link if you are curious.
http://www.bobbarr2008.com/press-releases/63/bob-barr-former-member-of-congress-from-georgia-and-current-candidate-for-president-for-the-libertarian-party-today-issued-the-following-statement-on-energy-and-global-warming/
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 7:32 PM
Why does she remind me of Lassie?
Neocon Peg on August 5, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Pictures or I call shens.
Tim Burton on August 5, 2008 at 7:34 PM
We need photographic proof. :-p
Tim Burton on August 5, 2008 at 7:35 PM
Okay, you list Barr’s energy policy so I assume you disagree with it? Isn’t it almost identical to John McCain’s policy?
What flip flop are you referring to?
Are there any other areas where you disagree with Bob Barr?
King of the Britons on August 5, 2008 at 7:36 PM
So she supports mccain’s energy plan or the rep house all of the above.
I think the REP need to get the whole turth of their energy plan out there. all of the above
unseen on August 5, 2008 at 7:37 PM
I’d vote for her over both candidates.
CABE on August 5, 2008 at 7:37 PM
Because she’s fetching?
profitsbeard on August 5, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Well, now we know she can at least read off a prompter.
Pcoop on August 5, 2008 at 7:40 PM
the fact that she makes more sense than Pelosi is troubling, and yes, she does look like a fetus.
Ropera on August 5, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I never said I like McCains policy either. Don’t assume.
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 7:41 PM
Obama is seriously considering her for Secretary of Sleaze.
hepcat on August 5, 2008 at 7:41 PM
Nope… only a few know who I am and I will leave it at that.
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 7:42 PM
She needs to fix that wonky ass eye.
SouthernDem on August 5, 2008 at 7:43 PM
I like it!
I wanna aply for an intership
TheSitRep on August 5, 2008 at 7:44 PM
Drudge has it
bnelson44 on August 5, 2008 at 7:45 PM
fixed it for ya…
jerrytbg on August 5, 2008 at 7:45 PM
I would NOT hit that. Even with a overlapping series of cast iron prophylactics.
Not. In. Ten. Million. Years.
wccawa on August 5, 2008 at 7:47 PM
Ok. One drink later, and yeah, I’d hit that.
wccawa on August 5, 2008 at 7:48 PM
That’s the best she ever looked,other than the persistent Greyhound face,she filled out just a bit.And I’ll bet she’s a lot smarter than she acts,after all,the Hiltons are Billionaires for a reason,no?
Bob
Bobnormal on August 5, 2008 at 7:48 PM
July 23, 2008, article from Bang Showbiz Paris brags about her wealth:
She doesn’t need her inheritance.
You know, maybe McCain should have used somebody else in the ad. She’s starting to seem pretty smart.
ForNow on August 5, 2008 at 7:50 PM
Test.
ForNow on August 5, 2008 at 7:50 PM
cant fix stupid
vinllo on August 5, 2008 at 7:52 PM
July 23, 2008, article from Bang ShowbizParis brags about her wealth [word "pounds" substituted for troublesome pounds symbol]:
She doesn’t need her inheritance.
You know, maybe McCain should have used somebody else in the ad. She’s starting to seem pretty smart.
ForNow on August 5, 2008 at 7:52 PM
And I never said that you liked McCain’s energy policy either. Don’t assume.
However, you posted that anyone was better than Barr, and this being a very Pro-McCain site, and very anti-Obama, I do assume that you are voting for McCain. If that is so, then it wouldn’t make sense to point to Barr’s energy policy as a point that you use to illustrate why Barr is worse than everyone if the person who you plan to vote for has virtually the same energy policy.
King of the Britons on August 5, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Ah nuts, no flashing…That’s not the Paris I once knew!
byteshredder on August 5, 2008 at 7:53 PM
CORRECTION: “Paris brags about her wealth” article date July 23, 2007.
ForNow on August 5, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Wow. That was pretty good. Whoever wrote that for her did a good job. And she wasn’t bad either.
Let’s not go down that road. You’ll just get schooled. If you’re dead set against voting for McCain, whatever. There’s only a few of you morons left anyway. But, please, don’t try to pass Bob Barr as anything but a washed up, former B-list Conservative in the House that decided he didn’t like the Patriot Act (that he voted for) and found that the Libertarian Party didn’t like it either so he changed 80% of his policy stances (including those on issues like immigration, where he turned from the conservative side of the issue to the far far far even more liberal than Obama side of the issue). The guy is nothing. He’s lucky if he gets 3% of the popular vote, most of which will be from old people in GA that are only voting for him because he’s from there and a couple moron holier than thou “conservatives” that think Barr is some viable alternative to McCain. Sure, McCain is not the ideal nominee in any sense. Many conservatives aren’t satisifed. But most of us aren’t going to hand the country over to Obama. Jeez. I’d at least respect you if you actually had a decent conservative candidate capable of splitting the Republican vote. I wouldn’t like it, but I’d respect it. But you don’t. You are pathetic. Bob Barr is pathetic. Go home.
Bad! Now, you have to go to the silent chair.
malan89 on August 5, 2008 at 7:56 PM
Man, that ad was better than McCain’s and Obama’s. Pretty sad, really.
Seixon on August 5, 2008 at 7:56 PM
My guess is the MSM will spend hours on this…
Then she’ll do the talk show circuit, Parismania is going to skyrocket.
elraphbo on August 5, 2008 at 7:56 PM
Good Lord! How big are her feet? She could cross the Atlantic on foot.
greasywrench on August 5, 2008 at 7:57 PM
lighten up…lol!!!
jerrytbg on August 5, 2008 at 8:00 PM
Ooooh…. so that’s what she looks like when she’s not in that “night-vision camera” light … and actually wearing something, too!
ErikTheRed on August 5, 2008 at 8:01 PM
(backing away slowly )umm a foot fettish…
jerrytbg on August 5, 2008 at 8:02 PM
so her idea is basically Mcain’s idea and the republican on the house floor today? ok… and that’s funny.
Kaptain Amerika on August 5, 2008 at 8:03 PM
No, I said INTER.SHIP
TheSitRep on August 5, 2008 at 8:03 PM
Paris and McCain campaign merge!
F*** it McCain/Hilton/08! haha.
canopfor on August 5, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Was the other one where she washed a car and then took a bit out of a hamburger that she never would eat?
Good joerb, Paris. You took ownership of this and you won. Congrats, girl.
wise_man on August 5, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Good grief, a comment of mine doesn’t appear, then it appears five minutes later, inserted into its chronological place after subsequent posts have appeared.
Okay, so I won’t re-post even if it looks like it didn’t take.
ForNow on August 5, 2008 at 8:07 PM
maybe if we ignore it it will go away. Kinda like the paulites!
upinak on August 5, 2008 at 8:07 PM
I was just joking. The comment that I thought was the intended actual comment was funny. But apparently it isn’t what I thought it was…
Okay. I guess I don’t get it then. Unless you were talking about going “inter” Ms. Hilt…okay, you’re not that lame.
