“Paris Hilton is open to drilling. Who knew?”
It’s how she became famous.
I didn't think she was trying to pass herself off as a legitimate or a serious candidate. I think that she was insulted by the McCain ad, because it painted her as someone who is famous for fame's sake, and implied that she's an airhead. I think that the ad was certainly tongue in cheek, and an attempt to make a joke. But at Mr. McCain's expense.
Overall, in my estimation, the joke at Mr. McCain's expense flopped and wound up being at her own.
All that being said, I think that Mr. McCain's campaign's response plays off her ad nicely. It assumes the premise that Ms. Hilton didn't really succeed in her attempt to put down Mr. McCain, but rather merely reinforced the impression that she's a dumb blonde. But that even Ms. Hilton, the quintessential dumb blonde, turns out to have a more sensible energy plan than Mr. Obama.

i’m like totally ok with paris you know even though she thinks the old guy is totally well for drilling in maui but dude alternate energy subsidies and drilling in an environmentally friendly way on the outer continental shelf is like totally ok maybe and we need a vice president who is like cool anyway
It was a brilliant tease.. first she compares McCain to a horror flick ancient zombie, then to kindly Colonel Sanders, and finally to wise Yoda. I could just see her with a twinkle in her eye. She made teasing fun of both herself and McCain, but by ignoring Obama, she made him invisible.
And the media is playing into it wonderfully, giving the spot all that free airtime. Whoever did this is not an Obama supporter, that’s for sure.
I agree.
It is done in a light hearted way and is far from a rant, as described elsewhere.
Have political correctness and political animosity ruined people's ability to enjoy levity and humor?
Yeap, Paris is the perfect spokesperson for more drilling. And from that picture it looks like Paris is also following Obama's advice about keeping things properly inflated.
The AP characterized it as, and I quote, “a tart rebuttal”. I thought to myself, “Well, of course! What other kind would you expect from Paris Hilton?”

Yes.
It was a joke people. And a pretty good one. Which does Obama no favors at all.
She is a skank, she and Hussein make a perfect pair.

Post #44 would make one heck of a gas pump sticker. :-)
Paris has long been an advocate for alternative fuels, and is certainly no stranger to the use of alcohol in automobiles.
I think she zings both of them here and the McCain camp’s response was perfect.
She makes McCains point for him as she is taking advatage of the situation for face time, typical of a celebrity. Frankly, she is more similar to NObama than one might think and the “response” simply reinforces that NObama is vacuous and unprepared.
