Paris Responds to John McCain
A few days ago, John McCain’s campaign released an advertisement sandwiching Barack Obama between Paris Hilton and Britney Spears while a narrator talks about his status “the biggest celebrity in the world.”
The ad brought quick condemnation from a number of sides, including Paris’ mother, Kathy Hilton, who told the Huffington Post it was “a complete waste of the money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign, … a waste of the country’s time and attention, … and a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States.
Kathy Hilton and her husband, of course, have donated $4,600 to McCain’s campaign, the maximum allowed by law, all prior to the production of this ad.
Now Paris has her own response — a parody video that belongs aside Obama Girl’s “I’ve Got a Crush on Obama” for one of the best this election season:
EDIT: Having trouble embedding a non-YouTube video. Will try to figure it out later. For now, just click on the link above.

Take My Wife, Please!

Classy. Very classy. Sunny, I promise I’ll never offer you to the Miss Buffalo Chip contest just to score a few cheap political points with some drunk bikers.
We’re trying to find out a bit more about the Bikini Beauty Pageant at the Buffalo Chip, where John McCain showed up and offered up wife Cindy as a contestant. ESPN says the event is topless and “occasionally bottomless”. Actually their description is worth quoting in full …
Buffalo Chip has a reputation for that sort of thing. It holds a Miss Buffalo Chip contest every night, which is essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too. During a drenching rain Wednesday night, the contest broke up into smaller groups and one woman wound up dancing naked on a bar top. Her boyfriend/husband saw her and angrily dragged her away as she struggled to put her pants back on and muttered something about how, “It’s only this one week a year.”
Here’s video of McCain offering up Cindy …
We wanted to show you a bit more of what the contest is like. Unfortunately, we were worried that posting the videos could lead to TPM being banned from many corporate intranets. So we’re going to link to this video of the Bikini phase of the contest, complete with simulated fellatio and banana coddling. There’s also this Sturgis ‘pickle-licking’ contest. But we’re not sure if that’s part of the Beauty Pageant or not.
Late Update: TPM Reader WR gives us some background/wistful memories …
I grew up in Western South Dakota, and can tell you that “topless, and occasionally bottomless” barely scratches the surface on Miss Buffalo Chip. There were always rumors about underage contestants and on-stage sex–that was simply what Buffalo Chip stood for in the collective unconscious of teenage boys in the Rapid City area. This amounts to John McCain volunteering his wife for a Girls Gone Wild video. Quite a lady’s man, that McCain…
