Paris Hillton for President? Paris Strikes Back at McCain Ad with Internet Spoof of Her Own

Republican candidate for president John McCain recently used a clip that included socialite Paris Hilton in an ad against Barack Obama. In the ad he likened Obama to a "celebrity", and asked if he was really ready to lead. Mixed in were shots of some of today's hottest celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

Until now, Paris has been pretty quite about the ad., even though she is said to be furious that he used her likeness without her permission. Her mother, Kathy Hilton, on the other hand, wasn't so quiet and quickly lambasted McCain. Paris, it seems, was working on something bigger, better, and funnier for her response.

In an internet spoof released this week, Paris announced that she was running for president. She addresses McCain, 71, as "from the olden days" and a "wrinkly white haired guy". She also quickly dismisses Obama as "that other guy."

Paris' spoof starts out with her being introduced after a voiceover hailed McCain as "the oldest celebrity in the world... like super-old, old enough to remember when dancing was a sin and beer was served in a bucket... but is he ready to lead?"

Following that, Paris, 27, introduces herself stating:

"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity too. Only, I'm not from the olden days, and I'm not promising change like that other guy, I'm just hot.

But then that wrinkly white haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president, so thanks for the endorsement white haired dude, and I want America to know, that I'm like, totally ready to lead."

In the short promo, Paris is laying out on a lounge chair dressed in a leopard-print swimsuit. Before she presents her strategy on tackling the current energy crisis, she stops to leaf through a magazine to "find out where I can fly to get the best tan.. Oh Maui."

After rattling off her plan to solve the energy crisis, Paris challenges both McCain and Obama, stating: "I'll see you at the debate bitches."

Before concluding, Paris indicates that she hopes to appoint Rihanna her vice president.

The McCain camp seems to still at least have some sense of humor about it all. Tucker Bounds, McCain's spokesman, said:

"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."

Paris' spoof was produced by Chris Hency, husband of Brooke Shields.
