Paris Hilton offers better energy plan than Obama or McCain

   The morning news shows were buzzing today about Paris Hilton's response to John McCain's ad comparing her to Barack Obama.

My first thought after watching this: It's a shame we don't know who actually wrote this rebuttal, because it's way funnier than most things either candidate has said when they were trying to be funny.

Also, as Joe Scarborough pointed out on his MSNBC show Morning Joe about 50 times today, the energy plan she outlines as a joke is better than the joke of an energy plan either candidate has presented.

So, hats off to whatever comedy mind the millionaire heiress hired to pull this together. In the end, it may be a net gain for McCain, because it keeps people talking about his original ad without requiring him to pay any money to actually air it anywhere.

Gotta love modern American politics.

Cliff, there are plenty of smart people have presented legitimate plans for our enregy woes. They have been well publisized in both print and broadcast media. You might want to start getting you news from sources other than E Entertainment television and every other he said she said Hollywood blog.

I have no illusion that Paris came up with the plan she is talking about. Just that no one listens to the smart people who do so they have to get someone like Paris to present it so that most Americans will listen. Remember tabliods are the number 1 selling new source in American and they always tell the truth.

Keep dream'n Cliff, there is no way that "Genious" could have come up with that on her own!

What is sad is what she is offering is a better plan (one that needs to happen) than either candidate's. The energy crunch can only be solved by multiple solutions not one silver bullet (think diversified portfolio). It’s funny/yet sad that and idea has to be presented like this to get most people’s attention.
