Paris Hilton Shows Up John McCain

Two lessons from this viral Paris Hilton striking back at "wrinkly , white-haired guy" John McCain on "Funny Or Die":

(1) It's gotten 2,812,325 views in 18 hours.
(2) If you're going to mount an attack ad, make sure it's not capable of being completely skewered by Paris Hilton in a much better, funnier, and cleverer ad that your opponent didn't even have to pay for.

This video is as good an indicator as any that the rules of the game have completely changed.

p.s. Here are the credits: "Starring Paris Hilton, Written by Adam McKay, Produced by Chris Henchy, Directed by Jake Szymanski. Featuring Tinkerbell."

She's actually fairly bright. Ask Punchy McCain. He's still trying to figure it out.

Like everyone else, I am stunned to be admiring Paris Hilton's response to McCain's inane ad. Maybe she isn't as much of an airhead as we all believe.

They said John Kerry was too French, but now Barack has a reason to love Paris too!

Well, I always thought she was an airhead and a bimbo, but the gal just totally redeemed herself. This was brutally funny, with just the right tone of being above Oldy McMoldy's stupid bull.
