He is the oldest celebrity 1 in the world, like super old, old enough to remember when dancing was a sin and beer was served in a bucket, but is he ready to lead?


 


Hey, America, I’m Paris Hilton, and I am a celebrity, too. Only I am not from the olden days, and I am not promising 2 change like that other guy. I’m just hot.


 


But then that wrinkly, white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad which I guess means I’m running for president. So thanks for the endorsement 3, write-haired dude, and I want America to know that I’m, like, totally ready to lead. And now I wanna present my energy policy for America, just as soon as I finish reading this article on where I can fly to get the best tan.  


 


Oh, Maui, loves it. Okay, so here is my energy policy, Barack wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign oil dependency, and McCain wants offshore 4 drilling. Well, why don’t we do a hybrid 5 of both candidates’ ideas, we can do limited offshore drilling, with strict environmental oversight 6, while creating tax incentives 7 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 debate speeches. Now if you will excuse me, I’ve to go pick out a vice 8 president, I am thinking Rihanna. I’ll see you at the White House. Oh, and I might paint it pink. I hope that's cool with you guys. Bye……


 


I’m Paris Hilton, and I approve this message ‘cos I think it’s totally hot.
