McCain Flack: Perhaps The Reality Is Paris Has A More Substantive Energy Plan Than Barack Obama

TMZ:

John McCain's mouthpiece has responded to Paris Hilton's stinging retort -- but he's not attacking Hiltie!

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."

Just hours ago, FunnyOrDie posted a video of Paris calling McCain "wrinkly" and pitching a hybrid energy policy.

What a dummy. They just allowed Paris to publically diss them and inject ageism by calling Mcc a "wrinkly old white hair dude" and there is absolutely nothing they can do. If they didn't want ageism to the forefront well they surely opened a can of worms with this one. Do they not know that her generation like the dissing game and know how to play it quite well? Do they not know her fan base, which equate to voters? I'm quite sure they didn't expect this backlash, too funny.

perhaps the reality is: Tucker Bounds is lying his a$$ off. But then again, what else is new?

[mlaiuppa]

The reality is that Paris' "energy plan" is closer to the compromise plan Obama supports than to the OLD white-haired dude. Get a clue. It's a diss against McCain. Clueless as usual.

[Keith52]

Yeah, what an idiot.

[The Militant Marker]

Obama did, all Paris was doing was repeating Obamas energy plan.

[All57States]

I'm sure she is pro drilling and laying a lot of pipe.

[neocon666]

If ignorance isn't strength: why are there republicans?

[larmarch5]

Paris' ad is way better than any McWrinkley has created. She is actually articulate. Her slogan: Paris -- the Other White Meat.

[the964kid]

Whatever flunky, Paris just humiliated you and that dumb-a** ad. Talk about 'back-fire.'

From now until election day Obama gets to say things like '... while he's talking about Paris and Britney we're talking about saving citizens money on fuel, keeping people in their homes, getting out of Iraq...'

I love it!

[bryansmith]

Oh boy... This is just sad. I am embarassed that I am even writing a response, but it is just so dern stupid I cannot resist. When you must engage Paris Hilton because of your campaign, things are really getting pathetic. I really expected better from McCain.

[Charmed]

Is this really how the republicans win elections.....it's really pathetic to think that there are actually people out there who are "proud to be ignorant" and stick with talking points.

[barackobama4prez]

What did you expect them to say? They had to spin it. that video has already gone viral and made JMac look like an ignorant mummy...or should I say yoda!

[krissy575]

Hey! Don't insult Yoda.

Lord, Paris Hilton sounded more responsible and thoughtful than John McCain and certainly has more grace in public (with some notable exceptions) than McCain too.

[patriotic008]

Can someone please tell me why the campaign for the Rep ub lic an pr esi dential candidate thought it appropriate to respond to PARIS HILTON on the all-too-serious topic of energy and the cost of gas in this country?

I think the most pathetic aspect of this story is not only that J o h n M c C a i n has now introduced Paris Hilton to America's political discussion (how we detest him for this), but that his campaign actually has the time and the inclination to respond to a Paris Hilton video. Very presidential M c Grumpy

He has bit off more than planned for. Paris will use this repeatedly to keep herself in the public eye.
She is excellent at that and has the funds to answer all of his comments. Barack need just stay out of it.

[glorysong]

Oh, I am pretty sure she is going to have a field day with this. He will be running try to get out of her way. She was easy on him. No telling what is going to come out of her mouth next. Lay it on him Paris.

[BarryChamplain]

Tucker Bounds is as funny as a... Republican!

Clever R Us, them R's are. "Mallard Fillmore" was just the tip of the Komedy iceberg.



These people so utterly messed-up this one. Doesn't matter, though. They're gonna Swift Boat Obama; bring the election in key states to within a few hundred votes; STEAL and suppress those; win the election for McCain; and then spin it that Obama was "just too exotic for America..."

You heard it here first.

Cynically yours,
