Paris’ reaction (above) to McCain’s attack on her (got that? I feel like I’m back on the playground) is pretty funny- too bad it’s totally off-base (and I TRIED to get an ounce of support up for it, I really did- she even used the word HYBRID, for fuc*s sake).
Watch the video- for entertainment at least- and then move on. Because as much as Paris paid for someone to write a script for her (and I have NO DOUBT that Ms. Hilton can sound, and be, as smart as she comes across in the latter part of this video) they just got it wrong, with a lot of nonpartisan bowing and scraping to both sides. This is why this clip pissed me off:
1. Offshore drilling is not going to solve our energy crisis/gas crisis now OR in the future (it’s impact will only be felt in 15 years when those potential oil reserves would actually start delivering oil). What it will do is negatively affect sensitive marine ecosystems (at best) and at worst destroy them. There is a reason these areas were set aside for protection against drilling in the first place.
2. Subsidies to car companies to produce cleaner cars ARE NOT ENOUGH. Cars are subsidized (along with roads) up the wazoo by taxpayers already, so stop telling me that you can’t tell independent businesses what to do. Car companies need to be forced by our governments to make changes in fuel use immediately. Everyone always tells me how the capitalist system will answer what the market demands (so where’s my super fab, affordable electric car that looks hot and drives like a Saab? Where?). This capitalism thing is a lame argument and I’m tired of hearing it. Things are getting worse and Capitalism doesn’t seem to be helping!
We NEED fuel-free cars powered by alternative energy and we need them NOW! This is not pie-in-the-sky. We sent a man to the moon in 1969 after a federal decree in a few short years. Surely we can harness the multiple abundant power sources (wind, solar, geothermal, wave, gym workout machines) that are naturally available to us if we collectively put our minds and hearts to the task.
3. Metallic pumps with that onekini? NO! That cute suit soooooo calls for a pair of gladiator flats (metallic, if you must, cause we know how you like that flash, Paris).
Note: Just so you don’t think I’m a total hater, Paris DOES get extra points for 1. making fun of herself, 2. encouraging all us bitches to see her at the debates and 3. selecting Rihanna as her running mate.
Sorry, I have to vomit here. When will this vapid barbie beast of uber stupidity disappear from the media? I understand this video has entertainment value, but at what cost to our own mental health and dignity? I must ask that she not be encouraged like this in the future. Thank you.

Geez – it’s too bad someone who’s so popular has to ride the fence like that. BLEH!
It would have been “totally hot” had she actually gone off the hook into some political monologue that was real.

1LUV, you crack me up. It would have been *really* interesting and surprising if Paris had come out with an awesome pro-green campaign, but since nobody takes her intelligence seriously, maybe it would have done more harm than good for us eco chicks?

Love your response to this! I too was disgusted the moment ‘offshore drilling’ came out of her mouth (and distracted by the OMG What is She Wearing pumps) but, what else can you expect from a person like her?

I just want to know who wrote her script, (Adrian Grenier?) and if Kenya Knight at her LA modeling agency NOUS approved this message! Are we finally going to experience a full frontal “Assault of the Green Girls” on the fashion world? Gaia Girls would sound so much better, but that’s already a line of teenage books. The author who owns the copyright (?) didn’t want it coined to describe green super models. But imagine, a return to the hay day of the 90′s uber-babe, who didn’t get out of bed for less than $10.000 a day… Imagine if this century, she wouldn’t get out of bed for less than a Tesla! Now that would rEVolutionize the automobile industry… all we’d be left to deal with are cow farts, which as revealed by eco-chick, we can solve by strapping pink airbags on their back!

I too was bothered by Paris screwing up the facts on offshore drilling. When I first watched it I couldn’t help but yell at the computer “OFFSHORE DRILLING IS *NOT* A SHORT TERM (or long term) SOLUTION!!!”
We seem to be having a hard time getting that very simple fact to permeate the minds of voters, and sadly enough if Paris had gotten her facts right, that probably would have reached more people than any of our education efforts thus far. Instead, Paris bought the hype.
Here’s to hoping Britney’s energy plan is better thought out.

I have been watching Paris Hilton’s BFF. Where do they come across these people? They’re from another world!
