After presidential wannabe John McCain featured Paris Hilton in his political ad, the latter realized she has what it takes to run the country, too, so she’s running for President.

AFP reports that Hilton has “thrown her hat into the US presidential race” and declared her yearning to campaign against “that wrinkly white-haired guy.” She also promised that once she wins, she’ll paint the White House pink.

In a spoof ad, of course.

The ad shows the blond socialite stretching out on a lounger beside a pool, garbed only in a really skimpy leopard print bathing suit.

Then she declares cheerfully, “Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too. Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising 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 white-haired dude, and I want America to know I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”

She then suggests combining McCain and Democratic contender Barack Obama’s policy platforms to deal with US energy issues.

“We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. … Energy crisis solved, I’ll see you at the debates, bitches!”

She ends the ad by saying who she’s considering for vice president. “I’m thinking Rihanna,” she said, referring to the RNB singer-songwriter.

Hilton then adds, “I’ll see you at the White House. Oh, and I might paint it pink. Bye!”

AFP reports that the brains behind Hilton’s ad were Funnyordie.com contributors Adam McKay and Chris Henchy.

McCain’s camp is said to be impressed with Hilton’s energy policy.

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said, “Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan.”
