The McCain campaign recently released an advertisement comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. The ad is insulting and wrong, as can be seen from the following chart:

Britney Spear's Accomplishments	Paris Hilton's Accomplishments	Barack Obama's Accomplishments
Sold 83 million records First artist in to have four consecutive albums debut at number one. Eighth best-selling female recording artist in the United States Supported the Iraq war	Starred in her own TV show Appeared in several movies Founded her own record company Released an album Wrote two books Designed collections of purses, jewelry and perfume

Obviously McCain should apologize to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears for insulting them like this.

Paris Hilton responded with an ad touting her own energy policy. "We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars," Hilton said.

It's a said day in America when a Hollywood socialite can come up with a better energy policy than the two leading presidential candidates.
