If Paris Hilton can propose a workable energy plan, she's either got more substance than she lets on to the public, or the rest of us are pretty damn stupid.

Attention, congress: GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!

Paris Hilton is a person who is nothing more than empty space between her ears. She is a wanna be nothing. Who cares what she has to say.

Well, she did have enough between her ears to say, "Up yours, Mc Cain, you old fart". Considering his ad, she was pretty eloquent there.

Or, as Mc Cain said to his heckler, "you stupid jerk".

He heckled her. She heckled him. Tit for tat, so to speak, if you know what I mean.

John McCain's current ads border on fantasies and cartoons and are not indicative of the Real World and possibly Schizophrenic! They act as if they are communicating with Children instead of Adults! And that's an insult to many over the age of 18 who want real facts and solutions not cartoonish schizophrenic communication delivered to them as if they are mindless pups! Does the McCain Camp really think the American people are childish and gullible! That is so disrespectful to the advancement of the American people today in the great strides they have made in education and mind building which shows he is definitely out of touch as to where the American people are today -- The American people are growing up.

It is a sad landmark of where McCain Camp is that a man (McCain) who espouses to be the most powerful leader in the planet seeks to convince us of his fitness for office with images of Paris Hilton and Moses being used (by inference) to demean his opponent!

As for Joe Scarborough and his morning show, it is becoming very biased again and unprofessional now that he is back from his hiatus with many comments that border on deceit, lies, racism and distortion. Barack Obama can do no right, he cannot even exercise for an hour and a half because Most Americans do not do that. Get a grip Joe, Americans are exercising and taking a lot better care of theirselves than you think! We, the American people deserve a lot better than the biased dribble coming out of Joe Scarborough's slyly, deceitful mouth who cares nothing for the American people. For him, it is all about Republican goals and agenda, which have not done anything for the growth of the American way. Joe, can you for once put the American people's concerns before your own selfish agendas for the Republican brand?

IF PARIS HAD A MORE EFFICIENT ENERGY PLAN, THEN WHY ISN'T SHE CAMPAIGNING WITH BARACK OBAMA?

IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN AN ENERGY, TO SAVE THIS DYING COUNTRY!

Apparently Mc Cain did. Else why would he portray her to the whole nation?

re: McCain vs. Obama: Paris Strikes Back

Look at it this way, rocketman3-5, if a candidate for president used you as a foil, portrayed you as a vacuous teenager, in order to discredit his opponent, wouldn't you feel privileged to shoot him the finger as Paris so eloquently did? He asked for it and he deserved it. The thing that I like about this campaign is how Rove tactics are now being attacked back by thousands of people who are tired of such bilious crap. Those in power are not being allowed to get by with this any more. People are tired of it and are saying it everywhere print can be displayed. This is a fight. They are hitting back. Now when you wrongfully attack people, they return the pain. It's not working any more.

I thought Paris Hilton's hybrid energy plan sounded much better than what Barack Obama has been saying. Paris' energy plan is similar to what John McCain has been proposing. I think John McCain will find Paris' ad amusing. As far as Americans being gullible, if they can buy all of the rhetoric and fantasies Barack Obama has been spouting out at his rock concerts, why not listen to Paris' ideas? I liked Paris' ad. I thought is was creative and humorous. I am sure Barack Obama is jealous because Paris Hilton stole his thunder. Obama is a fad which is starting to fade before the November election. People are getting tired of seeing his face everywhere they look. I think people are starting to realize Obama is not what he pretended to be.

Many of us realize Barack Obama is just a politician who has tried all of the tricks to win even though he has very little experience and doesn't even know where he stands on the issues since he CHANGES according to what might get him more votes. Of course, if he happened to get in the White House he would probably do whatever he could get by the congress, and we don't know what that would be. I know I am not going to trust an overly ambitious politician, Barack Obama, who didn't think it was necessary to spend more time in the U.S.Senate to get experience before running for president. John McCain has my vote unless Hillary Clinton becomes the democratic nominee.

Paris should be the vice president nominee, with emphasis on the vice. She is way too youngblond for McCain; he already has a rich blond trophy wife anyway. No, Obama needs a woman on the ticket who will appeal to the older , white voters. Paris won't get too many of the old white women like Hillary would, but she would kick ass with the dirty old white men. The supreme court and most of the senate might vote for her secretly, knowing she would preside over the senate, and might be available for discreet meetings in escort service type hotels. Paris and Barack would rock!

The Paris Hilton rebuttle ad was hillarious. But one thing I found odd was in her rebuttle she offered her own plan which actually matches MCCains idea for idea. Here she goes trying to act so brilliant and she doesn't realize the writers spoon fed her MCCains plan to claim as her own brilliant solution to the worlds problems.

Well I can honestly say this is the first article/video regarding the subject of politics that has interested me enough to read/watch in many years. I loved it! I have even ordered a Paris 2008 T-Shirt and have set up election headquarters at my desk at work....ha! jk.....you know what this message says ....... Thats good enough....she puts both of you in your place.... as we're so bored with all of the old empty campaign speeches year after year that really nothing ever comes of.....just another election so that we can continue to pay everyones rediculous political salaries.....I hope this sends the message to most politicians..... we're kind of tired and bored of paying for something we never really see much results from....yeah Paris!

Bacalove, do you have a current definition of "espouses". I am not familiar with your usage of the word. I also don't want to sound overly critical, but did you also mistake "dribble" for "drivel"?

re: McCain vs. Obama: Paris Strikes Back

robertchoward — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 07:24:08 GMT

Machiavelli advised warriors to attack the strongest point. So McCain attacked Obama's popularity - a trait that McCain specifically lacks. Notice that McCain's ad did not show images of someone like Angelina Jolie or Mariah Carey whose celebrity status is based on achievement but rather links Obama with celebrities who are well known for misconduct. In the process the ad cruelly piles more public abuse on two people who took wrong turns and are struggling to reclaim their lives.

In the meantime Paris uncorks a great parody that includes a mock plan to solve the energy crisis. Her advocacy of off shore drilling would generate about 1 percent of the nations oil needs which arrive right around the time that Paris would become eligible to run. As far as building cars that run on alternative fuels Detroit is already on the case but tax incentives make sense.

In light of the sleazy content and vicious intent of McCain's ad, it is appropriate that the ultimate condemnation of it is delivered by McCain himself who said, "I'm John McCain and I approved this message."
