Hey, remember that political ad spoof Paris Hilton did for FunnyorDie.com less than 72 hours ago (watch it below if not)? Kinda great! And yet, perhaps also kinda five or six Internet buzz cycles in the past already. But before we move on to our next shiny distraction, let’s take a moment to set the record straight. Some, including myself, have been wondering about how exactly Paris pulled off all that wonky energy-policy talk for the ad. I mean, that kind of jargon regularly trips up John McCain when he tries to talk about it. Was Paris using cue cards? A teleprompter? Honestly, to me it looked like someone might have Photoshopped her mouth moving and dubbed in the words. BUT! The Funny or Die crew have revealed that Paris needed no such technological aid to shoot the ad. She memorized the whole speech, people. All minute and fifty seconds of it. Shame on any of us who suspected otherwise. Please join me in registering your apologies to Ms. Hilton below. (Furthermore, Funny or Die claims she didn’t even ask to be paid for the skit. And people call her materialistic!)

We put up ringtone-ready audio from the Paris video over at Entertonement: http://entertonement.com/clips?keywords=paris+hilton+on+politics
It seems Paris has gotten a reboot on her life since the arrest. She’s been donating to good causes, using her powers of persuasion for good, and now showing that she’s got talents not seen by night vision cameras.
Her wonky speech wasn’t TOO wonky, as most Beltway Insiders drop anagrams the way Nino Brown drops off Turkeys on Thanksgiving day.
I would vote for her before I voted for McCain!
Almost, almost!! made it through the summer without PH. I knew it had to be too good to be true. (And, now, she’s everywhere again. Agghhh!) Oh, and I don’t buy it that she memorized her lines, unless she has some idiot-savant kind of thing going.
Yay, Paris Hilton for President.
I’m almost ashamed that I liked this video, a lot. But then I remember that whoever wrote and directed this video did most of the work and deserves most of the credit and it makes me feel better.
That’s Hot…Obama!Obama!
Great Energy Policy Paris, and for your V.P. nom, please pick Hilary Clinton*that would be Hot*
We have all been played by Paris, and not in the intercourse kind of way.
Don’t forget people: Paris & Rihanna in Nov ‘08
Who cares who wrote it or who directed it? Bottom line is Paris was really funny in it, and I’m no fan. The reason the video works so well is Paris!
Wow! Perhaps whoever is f*cking her these days occassionally takes the sock out of her mouth and lets her say a few words!
Very impressed. My opinion of Paris has improved significantly. I didn’t think she had it in her.
Kudos to Paris for her smooth and articulate delivery and for responding to the McCain ad in a classy, intelligent and humorous way.
Personally, I think Paris would be an amazing president. In God We Trust turns into Thats Hot! …great stuff
As for VP I think it should be Britney Spears ^_^
This was a knee slapper. Paris has a wicked sense of humor. I do think that Paris has us all fooled. Sure she comes across as a dumb blonde who loves shopping and the color pink. but she was more then likely educated by some of the best. I think she’s alot smarter then we think. And that is the beauty behind the brains. I think that the public stuff that ‘WE’ see is a persona that she’s cashing in on. LOVES IT!
