Paris Hilton for President


What’s nice about Paris Hilton is her close and undeniable bond with nature. Like how she toils away in the grueling socialite scene to support her 17 pooches in the lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed, even building them a doggie replica of her own mansion, complete with chandelier and matching furniture. Or how she cut down on her carbon footprint by living like a Spartan for 45 whole days… in jail. Or how she—and this is, like, totally sweet—wanted so badly to have pioneered the hybrid craze that she actually convinced herself that the Yukon SUV she bought as a “little birthday present” to herself in 2008, was the “first one” ever purchased.

And now she’s gone and done it again. Paris Hilton has solved the climate crisis! Ever since McCain used her in his recent campaign ad, thereby “nominating” her as presidential candidate (clearly, that was his intention), Paris has been thinking a whole lot about energy policy. Just yesterday, she announced her new energy plan in a video clip for Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die. Here’s what Ms. President came up with:

“Barack wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign oil dependency, and McCain wants offshore drilling. Well, why don't we do a hybrid of both candidates' ideas? We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will then create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved. I'll see you at the debates, bitches."

Paris’ genius strategy is ours for the taking, on two conditions: Rihanna for VP, and she gets to paint the white house pink. Small price to pay for a sustainable future with the Queen of Hot.

Lovely to see Paris making good on her totally coherent (and not at all vague) post-jail-sentence promise: “I’m very sorry and from now on I’m going to pay complete attention to everything.”

Oh, and don’t worry, the clip isn’t a fake. You’ll know it’s for real(s) by the authorization tagline at the end: “I’m Paris Hilton, and I approve this message, because I think it’s totally hot.”
