Paris Hilton Supports Drilling, so McCain Must be Right

Recently, John McCain’s campaign put out an ad attacking Obama for being ‘the biggest celebrity in the world’, comparing him to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In response (because she loves publicity so much, like oh my god) Paris Hilton teamed up with Funny or Die to produce this video, in which she states that if McCain is comparing her to Barack Obama, that must mean she’s running for president, so she presents her energy plan: a hybrid between McCain’s and Obama’s, recommending ‘limited offshore drilling’.

Politico has reactions from both candidates:

UPDATE: Obama spokesman Bill Burton reacts: “Whatever.”

UPDATE: McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds emails: “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.”

UPDATE: Shorter McCain, via Drudge (and the headline of Bounds’ press release): ‘Paris Supports Drilling’…

Love how McCain negatively likened Obama to Paris, and then suddenly cared what she has to say. So, if Paris Hilton agrees with John McCain, then his plan MUST be solid, right? Christ on a cracker.

Updated Publishers Note: I thought it was great that this ad showed up to the right of this post:

John McCain is an addled old parody of a joke. He’s a antiquated, desperate, weak old man with no principles. His presidency would be the end of our time as a great nation. Thank the FSM Obama is going to steamroll him in November.
