A recent commercial put out by McCain's publicity team says that Barack Obama is no more than a lightweight celebrity similar to Paris Hilton or Britney Spears.
In her spoof video Paris refers to Mr. McCain as "that wrinkly, white-haired guy" and claims that her being used in the ad means that she is now "running for president".
Reclining on a chair in a swimming costume and gold stilettos, she says, "Thanks for the endorsement, white-haired dude.
Hilton's spoof also intercuts images of McCain and 'Yoda' from Star Wars and also the cast of TV show 'The Golden Girls'.
The star then discusses her energy "policy".
Paris suggests a hybrid of McCain's offshore oil-drilling plan and Obama's incentives for new energy technology and says, "Energy crisis solved. I'll see you at the debates"
A spokesman for McCain's campaign, Tucker Bounds, said: "Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan".
