Britney, Paris Air Savage Anti-McCain Ad: Party Gals Slam Mac in Negative Spot

One day after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) broadcast an anti-Obama ad in
which he compared the presumptive Democratic nominee to celebrities
Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, the two tabloid mainstays fought back
with an eviscerating anti-McCain spot of their own.

While Mses. Spears and Hilton said they had planned to remain on the
sidelines during the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. McCain's
negative ad "left us no choice," the notorious party gals said today.

"We don't mind John McCain going after us if he sticks to the facts,"
Ms. Spears said at a New York press conference. "But we are sick of
the distortions about our record."

Ms. Hilton said that the McCain ad appeared to link herself and Ms.
Spears to Sen. Obama, leading the casual viewer to conclude that the
three of them had "the same energy policy."

"Nothing could be further from the truth," said Ms. Spears. "Both of
us strongly favor off-shore drilling to reduce our dependence on
foreign oil."

Ms. Hilton said she was also "offended" by the implication that she
and Ms. Spears favor a tax on electricity: "We have both been very
clear on that issue."

In their anti-McCain spot, the two starlets fight fire with fire,
comparing Sen. McCain to the Joker from the smash-hit film "The Dark
Knight."

"It's perfectly fair," Ms. Spears said of the ad. "They both have
pasty white faces and totally creepy smiles."
