Via HotAir, I had the dubious pleasure of watching a Paris Hilton video tonight. Hold on, now, it’s not what you think.
The marginally humorous clip raises an important question:
Should Paris Hilton be the next President of the United States of America?
Let’s look at her many positives. President Paris would represent a fundamental change in the character of America. As the first female President, she’d serve as more than herself, she’d be the key that unlocks the door for millions of other girls dreaming of one day serving in the highest office in the land. No longer will they imagine what it’s like to be the First Lady or the intern. No, the big chair will be theirs to aspire to.
Paris has the ability to engage the audience. Whether it is her natural speaking ability, her charm or charisma, something about Paris stands out. Consider that she’s never really accomplished anything. Neither actress nor singer, neither intellectual nor athlete, Paris still managed to become a household name. She has that certain something, that … je ne sais quois. Imagine having those communication skills at her command as she meets with the leaders of the world.
Everywhere Paris goes, people mob her. She is surrounded by cameras and media attention. Isn’t popularity a good thing? Don’t we want the President to be widely known; to have the President’s attention and affection sought after? I think we do.
Paris also clearly has the ability and intent to speak on the issues. She articulately addressed her energy plan. Unlike the politicians, she was true to her heart, and she spoke from it.
Some say she doesn’t have much experience, but I say, do we really want another old white guy in the office? We’ve tried experience before … it’s time for change.
Lastly, Paris gives us hope. Little boys everywhere have the not completely unreasonable hope that they may one day date President Paris. Girls everywhere have hope of achieving the same dream as Paris fulfilled: to be given accolades based on being attractive, young, and not too terribly busy doing things in life merely to get that aforementioned, overrated, so-called experience.
In summary, isn’t being young, unqualified, inexperienced, prone to gaffes, and wildly famous what you really want in your President? Then take my advice, vote Oba Paris Hilton in 2008. It’s hot.

Hot and coherent
Michael Schuyler (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 8:37PM EDT (link)Paris articulated a decent and workable energy plan in a few well-chosen sentences which showed a good understanding of the issues and a sense of humor. She obviously understands her reputation and plays to it, thus subtly making fun of those who make fun of her. She also proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that she is a much more viable and insightful candidate than Obama. Bravo for Paris.

Facts
dld1717 (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 8:44PM EDT (link)It is interesting although the video is produced by liberal Hollywood writer and husband to Brooke Shields, Chris Hency, and his theme is to attack McCain’s age.
Heck, they even disrespect Estelle Getty in the video
That was a far better campaign spot
skey (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 8:50PM EDT (link)That was a far better campaign spot than either BHO or McCain has run so far this year. Tons better than the ‘I’m trying to make you think I’m a Democrat’ Broken spot that McCain just did.
As for president? We could do worse, and polls show that there’s a 50/50 chance right now we will.
Paris for Speaker
shadowtax (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 8:56PM EDT (link)Paris Hilton is not old enough to run for President. But she can be Speaker of the House!
She has endorsed the House GOP energy plan. Someone should get her to sign the discharge petition.
Give her the gavel!
Somebody scooped ya...
speciallist (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 9:04PM EDT (link)The McCain campaign sent out this statement
I usually hate the dueling soundbites
Ed54 (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 9:21PM EDT (link)But I think the McCain campaign really got the best of this one.
Obama spokesman: “That’s not funny.”
McCain spokesman: “Looks like Paris has a more substantive energy policy than Obama.”
As someone in another thread points out, looks like the McCain campaign shakeup worked.
“If all men were just, there would be no need of valor.”

Well it does help
Adam C (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 9:32PM EDT (link)that Paris did more or less describe exactly McCain’s energy plan. He supports off-shore drilling AND renewable energy research. In fact, he supports “limited” off-shore drilling because he wants to leave it up to the state’s themselves.
I think it’s pretty obvious where this is all going.
McCain/Paris ’08.

ricbach229 Tuesday, August 5th at 10:05PM EDT (link)this empty feeling of “yeah.. what she said.” I knew the girl wasn’t stupid, nobody makes the kind of money, and keeps it, by being stupid. But I never ever expected to be left just sitting there after she talks.
Mais oui! Vive Mademoiselle President! nt

Not hot.
29Victor (Diary) Tuesday, August 5th at 10:58PM EDT (link)I’ve never thought Paris was hot.
I don’t get it. Maybe if it weren’t for her face, or the fact that her head is too small for her body. I dunno. I’ve never understood the attraction.
You know absentee

Achance (Diary) Wednesday, August 6th at 5:33AM EDT (link)Paris can be my d**khand anytime; she doesn’t even need to know how to handle the lines.
Somewhat more seriously, this whole thing has started to degenerate into a porno movie script. We all know what’s going to happen, it’s just a matter of how long it takes and just how far will they go.
The ignorant and uninvolved “middle” of American politics is the innocent Marilyn Chambers of the Ivory Snow commercials. BO is John Holmes or Long Dong Silver. Innocent Marilyn is just going about her life looking for cheaper gas, hope, and change.
So, shall Marilyn continue to be the paragon of motherly virtue on the Ivory Snow box or will she wind up on her back on the pool table?
For those of you who are very young, the references are to ’70s porno movies back when they were relatively respectable and you could see them in real theaters.
This whole campaign has become a seduction right out of the “Penthouse Forum.” If somebody worked at it hard enough, I’m sure you could find a vid of some college cutie throwing her panties at the stage while BO was speaking. Shades of Tom Jones; how ’70s!
Who will stand with me and repeal the 13th Amendment? There are a lot of people in America who are fit only for slavery. I don’t mean the tow that barge, lift that bale kind; just what in the World gave anyone the idea that clueless people who haven’t done anything, don’t have anything, and don’t know anything should be able to vote?

I found it amusing that

Positive
RJD (Diary) Wednesday, August 6th at 9:24AM EDT (link)another positive for a “President Paris” (age not withstanding) is her obvious recognition of the importance that public relations play in marketing a candidate and that candidates platform.
Have to give her credit – not only was the ad humorous, and on point, but you can’t beat the turn around time.
hey!
