Watch Paris Hilton’s message for McCain

(CNN) — 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 was 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."

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.

Related: How did Paris Hilton's response come about?

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.

The Paris ad was funny! And made sense. Good for her for giving us a little bit of humor!

Yeah…… "McCain is right on the money" sure he is! Let's see what the Republicans & Bush/Cheney have done for the last 8 years:

Our nation debt has doubled………. to $10 TRILLION, RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

We are spending $1.38 BILLION A DAY IN THE WAR WITH IRAQ! RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

The GOP had been in CHARGE in CONGRESS FROM 1994-2006, DURING THEIR WATCH THEY DID NOTHING…. NOTHING TO DEAL WITH THE IMPENDING ENERGY CRISIS! RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

THE GOP HAS LIED TO START A WAR WITH IRAQ, A COUNTRY THAT DID NOT ATTACK US! RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

OUR TROOPS HAVE DIED FOR OIL………. SAD TRAGIC……..TRUE! AND 30 THOUSAND HAVE BEEN MAIMED! NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS WHO COME HOME DEPRESSED ENOUGH TO COMMIT SUICIDE………..BUT HEY, "RIGHT ON THE MONEY!"

YESTERDAY THE BOOK BY SUSKIND CAME OUT, CLAIMING THAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION INDEED LIED ABOUT IRAQ!

NIXON AND CLINTON WERE IMPEACHED FOR MUCH, MUCH LESS!

NO WONDER MCBUSH DOES NOT WANT CHENEY ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE CONVENTION!

OH……..AND LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE ENRON LOOPHOLE!
THANKS MCCAIN…….ERR…….BUSH!

Hey Paris, you're like totally awesome! Your energy plan is groovy girl, you go girl, you go!

This has not been an election.

It has been Obama's rise into POPularity.

The Mccain camp still takes pride in their ignorance, its amazing they still have people stumping for them.

Calvin King   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Once again, we've seen John McCain make another bad call. This time he's attacked a daugther of a major corporation who has supported his campaign. Over and over again, Mccain continue to make bad judgement calls… May I remind the American people of McCain dealing with Keating during the Fedral Home Loan Bank investigation. Not to mention-leaving his first wive after an major car accident. BAD JUDGEMENT!!!!

We need a President will be able to handle pressure and make sound judgement calls for the American people. John McCain is not that guy!!!

Malcolm, AL   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

There you go McCain -you get PWNED by a celebrity named Paris Hilton. Serves you right for promising the American people and honorable campaign then running the most negative and dishonest ads this election cycle. Obama remains focused on the issues while you and your squad launch volleys of personal attacks.
Can't wait till Brit Brit gets her chance!

America needs honest, principled and intelligent leadership. Obama 2008!!

McAttack!!!   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Celebrities are too cool to be 4gotten.

May the force of celebrity be with Obama.

soy   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

This is not a joke people are suffering and going through tremendous hardship because of raising EVERYTHING. Its incredibly offensive for John McCain and all these people that never had to lift a finger for what they have to mock others that are struggling daily to feed their families. This is outrageous and is a true sign of elitism!!!!

Jim   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

So, all the John McCain supporters who have said that "OBAMA IS THE POLITICAL EQUIVALANT TO PARIS HILTON" have fallen victim to the trap that John McCain laid out. None of you thought this until McCain told you too. Robots. Get a clue.

McCain's folly   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

LOL…she knows more on energy policies than JOHN McCAIN!!!
and she's offering more solutions!!

John mcCain=========Please, Grow UP

Ken from Memphis   August 6th, 2008 10:01 am ET

You Obama supporters are really cute with your variations of Sen. McCain's name. Yet you will complain that he does nothing but sling mud. Is that the best you can do? Or is it simply because you know Obama has zero experience to run this country so you have to resort to making fun of his name? John McCain has served this country well his entire life. Obama needs to come back in a few years when he grows up and gets some experience. THEN he may be qualified to be our President.

Mc Fan   August 6th, 2008 10:00 am ET

Hey I'm voting for the man who was a POW and refused to say what the Vietcong wanted him to say for early release. He is honest.

All Obama does is say what you want to hear. If he had been the POW he would have done and said anything to get out of there.

brightest bulb   August 6th, 2008 10:00 am ET

Another dim wit for Obama?

Now that the BRIGHTEST bulb stands behind the straw man… I will vote for Obama.

Obamanation.

Wow.

dummercrats   August 6th, 2008 9:59 am ET

If Paris gains Obama votes…. I'm moving to an intelligent country.

Wow dems should be happy paris hilton has a better plan than barrach. She also sounds better as well not uhhhhh after every word.

Ken   August 6th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Another McCain swipe at Obama backfires, how funny.

How much more foolish can this man's campaign look?

Yesterday he was offering up his wife for a beauty contest at Sturgis, not even realizing that this "contest" includes fondling a banana and toplessness, among other things much too sensitive for values oriented Republicans for me to post on this site.

He now comes across as a doddering fool. We've already have one now in the White House, we certainly don't need another.

dummycrats   August 6th, 2008 9:58 am ET

Will the endorsement from Paris HELP Obama?

That is the question.

So far it is all about star power- NOT substance

Nick, NY   August 6th, 2008 9:58 am ET

The fact that there are people who are defending Sen. McCain's behavior is saddening. Some of the comments on here that ignore the story entirely and just take a jab at Paris Hilton or Sen. Obama are also saddening. I would hope that the U.S.A. has learned a valuable lesson [or two] from electing President Bush, twice. Are you, the eligible voters, going to tell the world that whoever is the most fiercely negative campaigner wins? Isn't it time for something new? Isn't it time to try to hope again? Isn't it time to work to get ourselves on a better path? Bitter, tunnel-visioned, Clinton Supporters, racists, and the Far Right need not answer; your answers would most likely be saddening as well.

dummycrats   August 6th, 2008 9:57 am ET

The stupid vote generally outnumbers the smart vote.

Look at what happened in the democratic primary.

America suffers from celebrity fever.

McCain is right.

MINNESOTA Democrat   August 6th, 2008 9:57 am ET

Mccain enters his wife into a topless bikini pageant.

Can we talk about Respecting Women? Paris Hilton has more sense than this senile man. What's 27 years of senate experience to do when he is still stuck in his stubborn 1950's mindset?

anna ga   August 6th, 2008 9:57 am ET

Well done Paris. When made fun of or ditzed, get even. The girl's energy plan did sound half way reasonable though. I thought Mccain was running a clean campaign. Aparently he flipped.

Van   August 6th, 2008 9:56 am ET

And how is this news?

Bubbleheads get to vote too   August 6th, 2008 9:56 am ET

I vote based on who Oprah picks- Obama is the book club choice of the month- but is he presidential?

The DNC and supedelegates also voted based on Oprah's pick.

Look where celebrity worship got us.

Timber (ex dem)   August 6th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Vote for Obama because I think it is hot. I bet a lot of people would. The presidency is becoming like a popularity contest instead of one of the most powerful, important job positions in the world. Why don't we just put Paris in there or Lindsay Lohan? It is getting ridiculous. What about the issues facing our people? It is ok for Paris and Obama to fool around but there are a lot of hungry people, people without health insurance, without jobs in this country. Let us not put an empty suit celebrity in the most important job in the world. Obama will tell you what you want to hear to get elected, we see that from the primaries. He has gone back on his words too many times to count.

Tom   August 6th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Good for her. McCain's campaign is a joke, except it won't be one bit funny if he gets elected and gives us four more years of Bush/Cheney Deluxe.

Sam R   August 6th, 2008 9:55 am ET

If we could ever get unbiased reporting from the media, this video wouldn't be so funny because everyone would already know that the "all of the above" energy plan is exactly what John McCain is proposing. As far as her strict environmental controls for offshore drilling, go back and read about hurricane Katrina and see how much crude oil spillage there was in the Gulf during/after the storm.

Demogogue   August 6th, 2008 9:55 am ET

I always listen to Paris… and Oprah….

That is why I voted for Obama- NOT because HE is a celebrity… but because the celebrities created him.

He is coming off as a blithering idiot.

I saw this ad this morning. Hearing something intelligent coming out of Paris Hilton's mouth may have short circuited my television, but I thought the commercial was funny.

Yogi   August 6th, 2008 9:53 am ET

This Country is like totally screwed. We are laughed at by the rest of the world. It will be just like the fall of the Roman Empire. American citizens with the help of the media are too ignorant to have a serious discussion of issues.

oscar   August 6th, 2008 9:53 am ET

Does Mccain see Moses as a celebrity? Moses was a charismatic leader and possessed all qualities of leadership. He knew how to reach out to his people and how and when to interceed for his people.He also knew how to talk to leaders of other nations on behalf of his people.That was what Obama stood for. Moses was never experienced,David was never experienced and all charismatic leader who lead in the book of judges were not experienced but called. That's why God has called Obama to deliever his people from Economic,Social and political logjam. Someone should tell Mccain to stop reading prepared text to the American. Let him stand up and talk to the Americans from his head. Is this how he is going to carry and read from prepared text to address other nations of the world? That'd be a slap to our face.

Nancy Volpe   August 6th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Fun response, Paris. I hope Cindy McCain is taking John McCain by the ear to the back of the room, and telling him he is making a fool of himself. At the end of an distinguished career to his country, he needs to be careful about lasting impressions.

Dems are stuck with the fix they rigged   August 6th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Isn't it grand what Obamamania has done to us.

HE presented himself as the cool celebrity American Idol.

So McCain is right.

Anyone who doesn't buy into Paris, WILL also NOT buy into the media myth of Obama.

Bill, Streamwood, IL   August 6th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Finally Paris Hilton has found her intellectual significant other … Candidate John McCain.

Please Paris, go easy on him.

Note to Cindy McCain. Paris is prettier than you and has a lot more money than you. Be afraid … be very afraid.

No wonder this country is doomed. Only idiots (read: rich idiots) get air time. Air time for air heads.

Come on November, let's get this long drawn out soap opera over.

Bill Charlotte, NC   August 6th, 2008 9:51 am ET

McCane no longers needs Paris…. he has his own bleached blond celebrity…. his wife.

Yesterday, McCane offered his wife Cindy to 50,000 bikers as a contestant for their Buffalo Chip Queen… touting "what a great thing that would be… Cindy would be the First Lady and Buffalo Chip Queen."

The deal is she would need to pose partially nude with a banana. Yet another of McCane's attempts at "humor" given as usual out of ignorance.

Scott, Phoenix   August 6th, 2008 9:51 am ET

WOW! Paris made another video here and she kept her cloths on this time. I guess she can use her mouth for something else

Dems are stuck with the fix they rigged   August 6th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Obama dragged us into the celbrity circus by basing his campaign on Oprah and Caroline and Rap stars and Rock stars.

He uses free concerts as a means to get people to "flock" to HIS rallies- I think it is the lure of free beer and free rock stars that draws the Obama crowd.

The appeal of Obama is that he HAS linked himself and presented himself as a COOL basketball playing, rock video, you TUBE celebrity.

The youngsters have fallen for that hype.

McAttack!!!   August 6th, 2008 9:50 am ET

I really have to wonder how "intelligent" the McCain camp really is. They don't even know when they're being laughed at. It truly is sad.

We're NOT "your friends"!!!   August 6th, 2008 9:49 am ET

I love how McSame is trying to spin the ad their way, saying that she endorses their energy plan and not Obama's. NOTHING IN THAT AD WAS BACKING ANYONE'S PLAN OTHER THAN TO MOCK MCSAME. Repubs are idiots, enough said.

I'd vote for Paris before I'd vote for ANY Republican. Even she's not as inept or greedy as them. McCain and the rest of the creepy old geezers have got to go. Time to throw the bums out!

Truth hurts   August 6th, 2008 9:48 am ET

Oprah and Caroline won- STOLE - the nomination for Obama by creating rock star appeal and giving Obama the full weight of THEIR rock star appeal to his otherwise invisible campaign.

IT IS ALL ABOUT MEDIA ATTENTION STUPID.

Obama exploited that attention and gets peeved when McCain reminds all of us of it.

McCain is RIGHT- Obama is a myth created by celebrities and advanced by an adoring and awed media.

angie - dallas -28   August 6th, 2008 9:47 am ET

what's funny is i really do believe allt he puma or paris/mccrack people are the same.
so sad that the same 2-3 people spend way to much time commenting under different names on the CNN board hoping to influence people.
the problem with that is people who are voting for Obama and has a distaste for McCrack can't be swayed.

So you keep posting your pathetic brainwashing pleas!

OBAMA 08 or

CLINTON NEVER!!!

Mike   August 6th, 2008 9:47 am ET

Ms. Hilton might now a thing or two more about genitalia than McCain. I guess it just takes one's breath away. Speechless……

robb   August 6th, 2008 9:47 am ET

McCain would'nt recognize a good energy plan if it fell on him. After 26 years in the Senate, his plan consists of a gas tax holiday (I guess he abandoned that plan) and opening up coastal waters so oil companies can buy oil locally instead of paying to have shipped around the globe. So by the time the wrinkled white haired dude is long gone, we still have an energy crisis? We need a long term vision John, not a bandaid fix that sounds appealing to voters. Conservation and alternative sources are our only salvation in the long term. How long will this planet support human life?

beevee   August 6th, 2008 9:46 am ET

It is very stupid of McCain's camp to have started this fiasco comparing Obama to Hilton and Spears. Ms. Hilton is right in shooting back at McCain. Stick with the issues 'my friend'.

Georgia Girl   August 6th, 2008 9:45 am ET

I feel bad for Republicans and McFoolish supporters. After watching this ad and seeing how much more intelligent talking Paris is compared to Mccain it must be dissapointing. The fact that Mccain made a pathetic decision and wasted money on a Paris Hilton ad makes me believe that McCain is not mentally capable and does not posess the sound judgement to make Financial and important decisions. It’s Obama for sure!!!

Dominique   August 6th, 2008 9:45 am ET

This was funny. Well played Ms. Hilton.

Of course Senator Obama already said he was willing to compromise on off-shore drilling as long as it was a part of a comprehensive energy plan. It appear that Ms. Hilton was just reiterating Senator Obama's plan while again Senator McCain is a day late and a dollar short.

Same old politics... from BOTH SIDES   August 6th, 2008 9:45 am ET

Do people on these comment pages actually listen to what both politicians actually say and see what they actually do? Or do you just repeat what the moveon.org e-mails state?

I question the intelligence of people leaving these comments.

Media darlings   August 6th, 2008 9:45 am ET

This makes the point of how our country has degenerated into a cult culture of celebrity infatuation.

Were it NOT so… Obama would not have been able to RIDE Oprah's ans Caroline's coattails into the HEART of Americans.

He was unknown until they attached Super Star status to Obama and his unqualified, untested mad grab for power.

Americans bought the HYPE.

If you're planning to vote for Obama, you're going to get about the same level of smarts as displayed by Paris. She's cute, that's all.

Declared by the media as pretty and important… given a status of celebrity based on NOTHING.

McCain was right on the money.

Obama supporter: Bipartisan Intelligence in Gov't   August 6th, 2008 9:42 am ET

McCain is now saying that tire gauges mdo reduce oil consumption. This combined with the fact that it was he who injected Paris Hilton into the campaign indicates not only lack of judgement but thousands of gauges that will be used to conserve as Obama suggestion will be utilized by more people.

McCain's plan for oil drilling sounds fine until one looks at the fact that US refineries are running at full capacity: thus, the oil drilled will have to be sold on the world market. More profits for oil companies, savings to Americans, questionable.

Nuclear power plants require a rigourous lisencing procedure, as they should of 3-4 years and 3-4 years once you find a neighbourhood that will accept one.

So much for mcCain's "immediately" and "now".

Selected not elected   August 6th, 2008 9:41 am ET

This actually makes McCain's point.

Obama has wandered into POP culture to pander for votes.

So this is the blow back from his celebrity bandwagon campaign strategy to appeal to those who follow Paris and Britney.

Where is Paris's Mom denouncing the waste of time and money when it is her daughter doing the wasting?

Kiah   August 6th, 2008 9:41 am ET

The fact that the McCain camp has opened this door should prove to everyone who the real idiot is. Instead of issues this GARBAGE is on CNN's POLITICAL TICKER.

Two birds of a feather if you ask me.

Who would have though that McCain would be debating Paris….shameful!

John FL   August 6th, 2008 9:35 am ET

the only reason the Republicans want congress to come back and rule on the drilling issue is because it is time for them to pay their daddy, Big Oil. Their boss will not contribute to their campaigns if they do not do their jobs they were already paid to do and that is get more property for oil companies to drill on.

James, Seattle   August 6th, 2008 9:35 am ET

The Republican plan seems to be, mock whatever it is that we think will make us sound better this week then later claim we supported it.
On the other topic.
More people vote for American Idol than President, maybe the youth vote should not be laughed at?

Demovoter   August 6th, 2008 9:34 am ET

I'm kind of glad she did that little spiff (as much as I can't stand the way she portrays herself any other time). I don't like how any politician relates themselves to celebrities to try and get more votes, and I think that is what these two are trying to do. Hopefully what Paris did will deter them from that mentality? This is truly the first election that I have followed very, very closely and I am unbelievably sick with the way they squabble! It is childish and completely unprofessional. I don't want a president who cannot allow another person to speak their opinion without interrupting them to speak their own. It's time to grow up boys you're with the big dogs now. Now that "Lil' Bush" is done, we need TRUE leaders to step up to the plate. Leave the boys club at the White House Gates.

Veteran in Kansas   August 6th, 2008 9:34 am ET

If one can not tell scarcasim, then perhaps McCain is your man after all.

It appears to me that Paris might just be over the vast majority posting here today.

Smith   August 6th, 2008 9:33 am ET

that was awesome! Paris Hilton is now my personal hero, and McCain should just quit now because the longer he runs, the longer it becomes obvious that McCain in the oval office would make Ronald Reagan look with it!

DocReal   August 6th, 2008 9:33 am ET

McCain has jumped the shark. He sounds like a four year old arguing with Paris Hilton.

CD   August 6th, 2008 9:32 am ET

McCain you can't have Paris, you wish you could but no you can't. We won't allow you to do to Cindy what you did to your first wife with Paris. For crying out loud you are too feisty grumpy and senile. Give it a rest and allow democrats cleanup after Bush.

Marina   August 6th, 2008 9:32 am ET

I used to respect McCain. Niw he's showing what a pathetic little man he really is.

Canada supports Obama   August 6th, 2008 9:32 am ET

Obama should hire Paris Hilton to do some commercials for him.

How about Paris on a Nuclear sub making fun of John McCain's claim that he has experience with Nuclear power because he rode in a submarine. The man has an IQ of a high school student at best.

Ted - NYC   August 6th, 2008 9:31 am ET

LOL….McSurge got what he was looking for. His campaign will respond to Paris, I promise you. That is if they haven't already. What a joke their campaign is! Poor McCain…he looks so immature through all this.

oscar   August 6th, 2008 9:30 am ET

The ad has shown all that Mccain can offer. He has NOTHING more to offer. Someone should let Mccain know that Obama is not a celebrity like paris or britney,but a presidential candidate of the most populous Nation in the world. The real issue is that mccain does not possess the charisma of a leader to lead a great country like America and he is jealous of that. America CANNOT be headed by any president who does not possess leadership charisma, strong and vibrant, determination, zeal and courage and above all the ability to co-ordinate not only the citizen of the great country but also other nations of the world. this Obama had and more.we want a president who will bring America back to it's revere position which Obama's tour gave us a glimse of.

Upon Further Review   August 6th, 2008 9:30 am ET

Colleen   August 6th, 2008 9:30 am ET

The ad that McCain did with Paris, Spears, and Obama was absolutely hilarious. The bottom line is people are treating Obama as a superstar and he IS NOT. Obama does not have the experience to run this country and hey….your taxes will go up. I live in a state that has a Democrat Governor and we are hurting and what does the Governor do…..increased our state tax. This ad just spelled out the truth and unfortunately with the intelligence of Americans you have to do it in an ad like this to get the true message across. I would NEVER consider Paris a superstar. She is a spoiled little rich kid that wants attention. Hey this made her look better than her visit to jail. Her ad was really stupid and to bring up McCain being old is such a ridiculous notion. President Reagan was 70 years old and served two terms and did an awesome job. People get over it.

"that swhat mccain gets for playing the race card"

Get your FACTS straight.

Obama is the ONLY one that has played the RACE card in this election.

Obama played it against Hillary 4 or was it 5 times

Obama played it in Germany.

And Obama contiues to play it against McCain.

Canada supports Obama   August 6th, 2008 9:29 am ET

I'm not a Paris Hilton fan but she sounded a lot more Presidential than John McCain.

Did you listen to McCain yesterday? How many mistakes does this man make in the average day?

Drill now, right away, immediately and today all in the same sentence by McCain.

Rainbow1001001   August 6th, 2008 9:28 am ET

Paris has the guts to speak up to the McCain's camp. I respect her. She has more brain than alot of McCain people. Her energy plan is closer to that of Obama and it is sensible, unlike that of McCain's. McCain's straight talk express must have all the wheels twisted - now McCain has offered his wife to be the"Miss Buffalo Chip", to make her a celebrity?

obama is the most dangerous man alive   August 6th, 2008 9:28 am ET

The has-been Hilton's didn't have a word to say when obama announced to the entire world that his daughters didn't like paris hilton or b.spears. Paris, if you and your mother want to see totally worthless…..then both need to look in the mirror.

Tired of W, OH   August 6th, 2008 9:28 am ET

Thank you, Kathy, for being an informed voter. Domestic drilling is not the answer. It would do nothing to bring down prices. We need to get away from oil by pumping big money into development and production of plug-in hybrid vehicles (and make them affordable). Currently, McCain and Bush claim they are for alternative energy and fuel-efficient vehicles, but it's just lip service. They will not put their money where their mouths are. They just hand it over to Big Oil.

WAKE UP AND VOTE OBAMA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Not fooled by negative ads   August 6th, 2008 9:27 am ET

It's really a shame when Paris Hilton appears to have more sense than the presidential candidate John McCain.

McCAIN wouldn't know a good debate if it jumped up & bit him on his a–!!! He is sooooooooo incompetent when it comes to making a speech.

I've had training as a military officer & he really should be better at this!!!

Not to mention he's been in Washington pretending to care about the average American FOREVER (longer than most of our fellow military heroes who died in IRAQ had here on this earth, before they were killed in McCAIN & BUSH'S Senseless WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

I just can't stomach another 4 years of a President who blunders every time he speaks & makes a fool of himself smirking & grinning like a monkey.

Can we PLEASE elect an intelligent, well-spoken representative of all Americans instead of these ultra-rich idiots who must have BOUGHT THEIR COLLEGE DEGREES from a STREET PEDDLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an Obama supporter, I hope McCain continues his juvenile acts. I hope his campaign remains in blissful ignorance. It will only serve to shore up more support for Obama. At a time when our country is facing its most toughest times, McCain thinks that jokes are the way to persuade Americans that he is the best candidate to lead our country.

Keep the juvenile attacks coming, McCain. I'll make my reservations to be in D.C. for Obama's inauguration.

James in Kamiah   August 6th, 2008 9:20 am ET

John Mcains, AND by extension Paris' plan, if they intend to connect themsleves with it, still is clogged up by the idea that the oil industry has any intention whatsoever of regulating itself or being regulated, MUCH LESS Strictly regulated.

She has MY vote. Two REAL boobs instead of Obama & McCain!

James Dean   August 6th, 2008 9:19 am ET

McCain is awesome, such a funny guy. The problem with Obama is he doesn't want to upset anyone. He'll flip and flop to make anyone support him, apologize to GERMANY (of all countries) for our mistakes, and even have peaceful talks with Wackajob over in Iran. Barack Hussein Obama Mama will not get to the White House. It's already showing in the polls.

mario   August 6th, 2008 9:19 am ET

ok look, stop the lying, it really is more like Obama's plan…and who really cares exept he is lying again….She specifically said a little oil drilling, with the most forcus on alternative energy…
Mccain is all oil and nuclear…. pls note Obama's plan has been on his website since at least Feb 08, at least tha tis when I found it….
John Mccain had minimal internet presence at the time and only in recent months has update dhis site ot include greel initiatives…When I first saw his commercials i was liek he is stealing Obama's positions..which this is not th efirst he has jumped all on.

billy depp   August 6th, 2008 9:18 am ET

To cover up there candidates total lack of experience and judgment, Obama's peeps can only resort to nicknames and derogatory remarks on McCain's age so I guess the ad worked. It has brought attention to Obama in a category that he has nothing…..experience. Many Democrats are now upset we chose a celebrity over substance. Too bad we picked the loser again,.it's like John Kerry all over again but this time we have a racist preacher, an un-patriotic first lady to be, and a flip flopping African American fly by night hack. I suspect many white voters to switch when they see the emperor has no clothes. Blacks will stick with Obama regardless of his policies like they did with the crack smoking Marion Barry. Whites will wake up in time not to make a serious mistake for our country. Draft Hillary at convention….oh I see Obama has now also flipped on the FL and Michigan delegates….how utterly Obama-like! The guy is a schmuck!

EBC, MD   August 6th, 2008 9:18 am ET

How STUPID does this make OLD MAN John McCain look.

Jeeez, what a moroon. Whose laughing NOW. I mean, John McCain will NEVER beat Paris Hilton in the Pop Rock circle, she would EAT him up and spit him out. This is a girl who is a master at using the media at her disposal. She's GOOD at it, and I don't think John McCain wants to truly piss off the Hilton family. He can't afford to be "black listed".

E for Obama   August 6th, 2008 9:18 am ET

AWESOME!!!

Thank You Paris!!!

jeanette   August 6th, 2008 9:18 am ET

Well, yesterday John McCain offered up his second wife, Cindy, to a bunch of redneck bikers as poster child for "Miss Buffalo Chip" -
So, I guess John McCain really will do anything to garner votes.
His disdain for women is so obvious.
Why didn't mainstream news cover this event in full instead of only showing bits and pieces? Cowards!

What!!!   August 6th, 2008 9:17 am ET

Abswolutely one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Plus, it is actually a good plan. John and Barak should be watching and taking notes.

ZL / Lakeland FL   August 6th, 2008 9:17 am ET

The mentally of the Hiltons & the Obamacans! Paris' mother gets upset about this tape.????? What about the tape that shows Paris with her ankles behind her ears?

Rather a funny ad about Obama than a misleading ad about McCain, the 2 million in oil company donation and voting of tax breaks to the oil moguls.

The Obama camp conveniently failed to mention that Obama also received over $400K in donations from the oil companies and as far as the tax breaks, McCain voted against and Obama voted for!

Quit your whinning, you boo-hoo Obamacans!

SAGG   August 6th, 2008 9:17 am ET

Paris surprised me! She did a wonderful response, and quite frankly, she sure sounded better than McCain!

Bobbie, New Hampshire   August 6th, 2008 9:16 am ET

CNN's Ticker remains "all Obama all the time." Obama articles run 5 to 1 over McCain articles and usually the McCain article is negative.

How are we to trust CNN to deliver the news when it is so baised?

B E in TN   August 6th, 2008 9:15 am ET

McCain is a pathetic buffoon!!! To get him out of his misery it is truly time for Paris and Brittany to roll out the wheel chair and take him to a rest home!!!….. and don't forget the viagra!!

S.M   August 6th, 2008 9:15 am ET

McCain should have known that Paris Hilton would respond to the ad. Eventhough I don't care for Paris, I disapprove of the McCain campaign comparing she and Spears to Obama. In case McCain doesn't know; Hilton and Spears are in the entertainment field, while Obama is in the poltical field. Why didn't his ad feature any male actors? Sounds to me as if he is calling all women stupid. But then again, when someone who is running for President runs this type of ad it only tells you about that individuals character. Stupid is as Stupid does.

dEMOBRAT   August 6th, 2008 9:13 am ET

I think it's really funny for Paris to laugh at this whole thing and herself. However, i am sorry Obamabots. The McCain commercial is working, painting Obama as just a guy that is famous for pretty much nothing.

lc   August 6th, 2008 9:13 am ET

Hopefully McCain sees how childish he has been and gets back to being a good politician.

"Brobama dot org "covers this sort of stuff in an interesting way too for more discussion. This whole election has become a circus for republican dirty attacks and it needs to be discussed in a way that everyone can relate to…something the popular media can't always do.

Steve   August 6th, 2008 9:13 am ET

McShame!

This is what you get for all your EXPERIENCE…lol She has now taken the spotlight away from you and shine it on you to show everybody how old and INEXPERIENCE and lacking in JUDGEMENT you've become.

If anyone saw him making that speech in front of all those biker and still wants to vote for him all I can say it you're IDIOTS. He looked horrible, sounded horrible, was confused, and even offered his wife in one of the prepared speech which he don't read in advanced to flash her body parts for a contest. Only FOOLS and small mind people will vote for this SENIOR CITIZEN in November.

mozartt   August 6th, 2008 9:12 am ET

When McCain says that he "was just having fun" with the negative ads about Senator Obama, I want to scream. That is the excuse people make when they "make fun" of persons with disabiliites, visible minorities, etc. It is not funny at all. In fact it isn't intended to be funny, its intended to be insulting and McCain knows that. The man is a sleaze in idiot's clothing.

Obama's Proctologist   August 6th, 2008 9:12 am ET

Obama, I found your head. Prescription: Pull it out.

It's obvious that even Paris, the dumb-and-famous-for-no-reason-blonde, can see that we need to do everything possible (if she knew the word 'comprehensive' she might have used it) to get our dependence off from foreign oil and solve the energy crisis. She says it perfectly…why don't we do BOTH!? Hello, that IS McCain's stance!!!

How do we rid ourselves of foreign oil/natural gas? 1) Drill/Pump it ourselves (Drops Oil/Natural Gas Futures now/Secures Oil/Natural Gas later) 2)Build vehicles/plants that use LESS in the first place (Mid-term) 3)Build vehicles/plants that use only renewable/alternative sources (Long-term)

Then, when we are off oil/natural gas because we've already started drilling and don't need it, we can EXPORT it to the world(China/India), raising our GDP/Economy.

It's called COMPREHENSIVE, Obama. Obama's approach? Why drill now? We won't see anything for 10yrs? Hey, why save for retirement now, we won't see anything for 10yrs either.

Bush removed the executive block for drilling off-shore. Just doing that made Oil futures plummet 20 straight days in a row now. Why? Because the potential for higher supplies of Oil just went up because a roadblock has been removed. Drilling now would only produce Oil/Gas in 10 years, says Obama. THAT"S THE FUTURE!! That is what drives Oil Futures prices!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More oil supply in the future, drives prices now!!!!!

Monica for Obama in Indiana   August 6th, 2008 9:10 am ET

The only thing worse than her video is that she is now back in the public spotlight. as for McCain's response, what would you lame Nobama supporters propose he do to respond? Maybe an all out attack on this no talent hack? Figures she would support another no talent hack like obama…birds of a feather…Hey idiots, is this a racist add like all of Mccains are? you pathetic libs are a disgrace to this country.

Jay   August 6th, 2008 9:05 am ET

Any one who thinks Paris has a better energy plan than Obama is as stupid as John McCain. How can you talk about drilling for more oil and climate change at the same time? And by the way, let us ask the people of AZ and John McCain if they want nuclear plants built on their backyards.
Remember the nuclear plants McCain is talking about will be built in your state. If you are ok with it, then vote for McCain

Answer: The usual McNothing.

Tupac   August 6th, 2008 9:04 am ET

These are the same people that think "drilling here" "drilling now" is a great energy plan while conservation like "proper tire inflation" is a joke. Sounds like Republicans are out of touch.

That's Hot.   August 6th, 2008 9:04 am ET

Oh Snap! Paris just told McCain to eat it in front of the whole world. And he is. Don't anger a diva. But seriously, I don't see how McCain supporters don't see through his facade (and Obama supporters, likewise). McCain and Obama talk down to the public so much, but manage to hide it a bit better than George W. Bush. McCain's smirks are showing, just not on his face.

Concerned.   August 6th, 2008 9:03 am ET

All you McCain supporters and PUMA's need to review the clips from the Bikers' Convention and his Townhall meetings.. As one who has studied and is studying cognitive processing deficits, I have ntoiced that Senator McCain is having difficulties in the areas of memory recall and oral expression. I am a special education teacher. These difficulties may not be a functionof age. I know older who men and women are menally very sharp. Something is going on with Senator McCain and I recommend that you pay close attention to his behavior and and how he orally communicates. Senator Obama did Senator McCain a huge favor by not subjecting him to those Townhall meetings. The more I see Senaor McCaoin on TV, the more evidence I see of his cogntive processing difficulties. I am not throwing a rock at Senator McCain. I am expressing what I hae observed. I am very concerned.

Poroye   August 6th, 2008 9:03 am ET

You know it's a bit of funny & sad, just when the rest of the world had hope that America has waken up to the challenges and expectations of her founding fathers, only to see a political campaign misdirection - now using the weaknesses of celebrities (her own citizens) to fight better opponents.

If it was because of jealousy it might still be understandable, but for mockery, i must admit, someone(claims to have untouchable foreign policy) has learn nothing.

Old Stradlater   August 6th, 2008 9:00 am ET

Paris is just a younger version of Cindy McCain - using their family money to live the good life.

That said, I think Paris is a lot smarter than she lets on, because she has been able to successfully market her image (brand) to make a lot of money. Even here, she used John McCain's stupid ad to get herself back into the spotlight. You Repubs should admire her capitalist ingenuity.

The McCain campaign should hire her writers, because theirs are awful.

NObama 08   August 6th, 2008 8:59 am ET

Like it really matters what Paris Hilton has to say or think. She is only concerned about her ability to shop and party. Obama is nothing more than a show boater who is trying to boost his world image. If he really cared about the people, he would not push socialized health care or windfall taxes. In the end who reallly pays? Do you people think that because big oil might get taxed we can force lower prices? Think about it. Higher taxes mean higher prices for services! Before you limit our oil, there has to be a viable source of alternative fuel available for the public. All you Obama supporters need to wake up and take a dose of reality!

Jay   August 6th, 2008 8:57 am ET

You stupid Obama people should have voted for Hillary. You will be the reason we dont win the White House! Obama should be doing better in the polls then he is. Like we all said before…Obama is all talk. He will never win. I will vote for him, but will not be happy about it, but he will not win.

Tupac   August 6th, 2008 8:56 am ET

Like Paris Hilton and Bush, McCain can't unite or motivate 20 Americans enough to come listen to him speak while Obama had 200K Europeans.

Republicans can call Obama a celeb but what I see is a man that can motivate people to come together. With McCain I see a man out of touch.

Rufus from NC   August 6th, 2008 8:56 am ET

B   August 6th, 2008 8:56 am ET

Glad she responded back to the wrinkly old white haired Guy. Shame on you ,the McCain camp. I don't think a family that was just foreclosed on thinks your add was funny. I don't think the family who can't pay the medical bill for a sick child thinks your add was funny. I don't think the family that will miss a meal tonight because they had to fill up their gas tank thinks your add is funny. McCain, stick to the issues. It;s not about Barack, or even you. It's about what's good for the American people. We are Hurting. Your camp is out of touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm mad as hell and won't take it anymore!!!!!!!!

Former Republican now voting Democrat.!!!!!!

concerned   August 6th, 2008 8:55 am ET

How come CNN is not reporting that Obama has received money illegally from non US citizens (Palestinians from Hamas led areas) in excess of $28,000, well over the $2,300 maximum for individuals. Campaign fraud apparently isn't as important as a Paris Hilton spoof…

Ty in Kansas City   August 6th, 2008 8:54 am ET

Compared to John McCain, I am sure that she (Paris) is not siding with McCain, she just feels sorry for him, with his grand fatherly appearance. Maybe she is amused by crazy geriatrics.

McCains town hall meetings, are boring, I turn the television on mute when a segment comes on with John McCain going on about nothing!!!

If John McCain wants to achieve something, he should try adding some substance to his campaign. I am tired of hearing about energy, what about the Economy? Health Care? Maybe someone should drill that into McCains mind so he catches on to what counts in this election!!!!!!!!!!

Robert   August 6th, 2008 8:51 am ET

I love how the people who support McCain think this ad is in support of McCain. "CNN stop your biased reporting! This ad SUPPORTS McCain's energy plans!". If this ad was in support of McCain, then why is he called "the oldest celebrity in the world"?

Might want to actually watch the ad before you start commenting about it :)

Dave   August 6th, 2008 8:50 am ET

Thank you, John McCain, for bringing Paris Hilton into the political process. There Obama was, bringing in the young and politically disenchanted all over the country, and you, well you just couldn't be outdone…

The most pathetic part about this story is the fact that McCain's campaign felt it necesary to respond to the "ad" Hilton put on. That campaign keeps on losing my respect more and more each day…

Bob Indianapolis, IN   August 6th, 2008 8:49 am ET

You know your campaign is in deep doo-doo when the object of your mockery turns out to have more intelligent answers than you do…Sayonara, McSame! Oh and p.s. pal! Contrary to Shotgun Dick's ordered forgery of CIA document's, to re-cap NO WMD, NO 9/!! link to Iraq and now, No Iraq connection to anthrax! Just a bunch of b.s. manufactured to fight a war for OIL!

Shawn - Ga   August 6th, 2008 8:49 am ET

How is this firing back… you folks don't see the genius of this?? The Hilton's are just strengthening what the original ad said. Read between the lines folks, this is a perfect follow up ad in true Paris Hilton style.

1) She got out what McCain has been saying as far as his plans for energy despite the Obama campaign trying to cloud the issue. She named exactly what McCain has been saying about the drilling and his energy ideas as far as "mixing" the two ideas.

2) She reached the younger audience who for the time being are behind the rock star… pretty much saying she is as ready as Obama.

3) She bring the whole original ad back into the mainstream media, and the McCain camp got to respond but didn't bring it up themselves.

Don't think for a second this was a "mock" it was a perfectly planned and executed

Axel   August 6th, 2008 8:48 am ET

Its funny how the Republican party mantra is Obama lacks experience, a guy who spent 7-8 years in the Illinois State Senate and 10 years as a CONGRESSIONAL PROFESSOR and a proponent of community outreach programs.

Meanwhile, McSame who has been snoring on the job in the Senate the last 27 years has accomplished oh so much.

Where were all these cries for experience when they jubilantly elected Reagan ? huh ? IDIOTS.

Legal Alien   August 6th, 2008 8:47 am ET

I am really confused:
There are just 2 political parties in the US and none of them offer a clear path to solve Americans problems.
Both parties as well as the many posts I have read try to put the C R A P on the others yard and there is no positive evaluation of what is going on.
Why don't you guys say what would you like to do to solve this Gas Crisis, Drill more, Rule the Market or Drill more which at the long run will take prices down and go for alternative fuels like Alcohol + Gasoline.
Countries like Brasil in the 3rd world use combination called Alco_Nafta which has up to 30% of alcohol, imagine what will that make in the short run to our providers when demand reduces on 30% from the top consumer.
Yes it is true China and India will get the oil produced as excedent, if our business man keep trying to explote people in countries like comunist china and poor India, grab your underwear and read the tab MADE IN CHINA right?
Even our troussers are made there, then we claim that the economy is damaged.
What sort of intelligence we claim.

THINK PEOPLE THINK….

I don't know what Tucker Bounds is smoking, but he is completely wrong on Paris Hilton supporting McCain. She is making the statement that the "white haired guy is endorsing me." I don't think that she currently knows enough about the race to actually make much of a claim on anything except that McCain might be endorsing her for president.

It was a foolish choice to compare any active member of the House or Senate to a clearly question celebrity like her.

Paris has about as much talent and brains as the 125,000 apes they just found. There are some people who walk around without any brains or sense. She qualifies as the leader of the pack.

It is interesting that she can even put 2 thoughts otgether. Talk about a waste of time, effirt and money……

I think Mccains point is made by all the responses her. Who care about the blonde bimbo ….except you guys.

You know, this country is in trouble losing jobs, houses, and all else. And the multi-millionaires of this country go around making jokes. I find them offensive,. Glad I switched from republican. They are the party of the rich for the rich.

I want to hear the issues without the tasteless jokes.

Only one word can describe this nonsense. STUPID!

I think the oval office should be painted pink. Its been bleeding red for years now.

Paris has my vote. Im starting to wonder if maybe she can do a better job than all of the above.

These people need to get their act together, now. I dont think our American Families have the same economic time table
