    Fun response, Paris. I hope Cindy McCain is taking John McCain by the ear to the back of the room, and telling him he is making a fool of himself. At the end of an distinguished career to his country, he needs to be careful about lasting impressions.

    Does Mccain see Moses as a celebrity? Moses was a charismatic leader and possessed all qualities of leadership. He knew how to reach out to his people and how and when to interceed for his people.He also knew how to talk to leaders of other nations on behalf of his people.That was what Obama stood for. Moses was never experienced,David was never experienced and all charismatic leader who lead in the book of judges were not experienced but called. That's why God has called Obama to deliever his people from Economic,Social and political logjam. Someone should tell Mccain to stop reading prepared text to the American. Let him stand up and talk to the Americans from his head. Is this how he is going to carry and read from prepared text to address other nations of the world? That'd be a slap to our face.

    This Country is like totally screwed. We are laughed at by the rest of the world. It will be just like the fall of the Roman Empire. American citizens with the help of the media are too ignorant to have a serious discussion of issues.

    I saw this ad this morning. Hearing something intelligent coming out of Paris Hilton's mouth may have short circuited my television, but I thought the commercial was funny.

    John has got to get back on his medication,....he's not making much sense these days.
    He best get on message and off the comedy wagon before he totally becomes a joke to America and the rest of the world.

    He is coming off as a blithering idiot.

    This is madness. I wish Obama would take the gloves off and start smearing McCan't back. He sure as hell a a LOT more skeletons in his closet.

    OBAMA '08!!!

    I always listen to Paris... and Oprah....

    That is why I voted for Obama- NOT because HE is a celebrity... but because the celebrities created him.

    If we could ever get unbiased reporting from the media, this video wouldn't be so funny because everyone would already know that the "all of the above" energy plan is exactly what John McCain is proposing. As far as her strict environmental controls for offshore drilling, go back and read about hurricane Katrina and see how much crude oil spillage there was in the Gulf during/after the storm.

  10. dr. yes we can

    for you ignorant repubs on here?paris was supporting obama's plan,not mccains.u peeps are so dumb.keep following tucker bounds.he acts like a teenager compared to axelrod.

    The politics of the absurd.

    Be careful what you start, my friend.

    Might not be able to finish.

    Good for her. McCain's campaign is a joke, except it won't be one bit funny if he gets elected and gives us four more years of Bush/Cheney Deluxe.

  14. Timber (ex dem)

    Vote for Obama because I think it is hot. I bet a lot of people would. The presidency is becoming like a popularity contest instead of one of the most powerful, important job positions in the world. Why don't we just put Paris in there or Lindsay Lohan? It is getting ridiculous. What about the issues facing our people? It is ok for Paris and Obama to fool around but there are a lot of hungry people, people without health insurance, without jobs in this country. Let us not put an empty suit celebrity in the most important job in the world. Obama will tell you what you want to hear to get elected, we see that from the primaries. He has gone back on his words too many times to count.

  15. Bubbleheads get to vote too

    I vote based on who Oprah picks- Obama is the book club choice of the month- but is he presidential?

    The DNC and supedelegates also voted based on Oprah's pick.

    Look where celebrity worship got us.

    And how is this news?

    Well done Paris. When made fun of or ditzed, get even. The girl's energy plan did sound half way reasonable though. I thought Mccain was running a clean campaign. Aparently he flipped.

    Mccain enters his wife into a topless bikini pageant.

    Can we talk about Respecting Women? Paris Hilton has more sense than this senile man. What's 27 years of senate experience to do when he is still stuck in his stubborn 1950's mindset?

  19. dummycrats

    The stupid vote generally outnumbers the smart vote.

    Look at what happened in the democratic primary.

    America suffers from celebrity fever.

    McCain is right.

    The fact that there are people who are defending Sen. McCain's behavior is saddening. Some of the comments on here that ignore the story entirely and just take a jab at Paris Hilton or Sen. Obama are also saddening. I would hope that the U.S.A. has learned a valuable lesson [or two] from electing President Bush, twice. Are you, the eligible voters, going to tell the world that whoever is the most fiercely negative campaigner wins? Isn't it time for something new? Isn't it time to try to hope again? Isn't it time to work to get ourselves on a better path? Bitter, tunnel-visioned, Clinton Supporters, racists, and the Far Right need not answer; your answers would most likely be saddening as well.

    Will the endorsement from Paris HELP Obama?

    That is the question.

    So far it is all about star power- NOT substance

  22. Ken

    Another McCain swipe at Obama backfires, how funny.

    How much more foolish can this man's campaign look?

    Yesterday he was offering up his wife for a beauty contest at Sturgis, not even realizing that this "contest" includes fondling a banana and toplessness, among other things much too sensitive for values oriented Republicans for me to post on this site.

    He now comes across as a doddering fool. We've already have one now in the White House, we certainly don't need another.

    Wow dems should be happy paris hilton has a better plan than barrach. She also sounds better as well not uhhhhh after every word.

  24. dummercrats

    If Paris gains Obama votes.... I'm moving to an intelligent country.

  25. brightest bulb

    Another dim wit for Obama?

    Now that the BRIGHTEST bulb stands behind the straw man... I will vote for Obama.
