WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Paris Hilton has responded to presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain's ad comparing the heiress to Barack Obama with a campaign ad of her own.

Hilton's spot, paid for by Web site funnyordie.com, stars the socialite mocking McCain's "Celeb" ad comparing Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, to Hilton and Britney Spears, CNN reported Wednesday.

"I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead," the swimsuit-clad Hilton said in her video.

Hilton said her administration would have an energy policy that represents a "hybrid" of McCain's and Obama's positions and even revealed her pick for vice president: "I'm thinking Rihanna," she said.

"I'll see you at the White House. Oh, and I might paint it pink. I hope that's cool with you guys," Hilton said in the video.

The video ends with a satirical sign-off from the hotel heiress: "I'm Paris Hilton and I approve this message because I think it's totally hot."

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said campaign is aware of the video.

"It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain's 'all of the above' approach to America's

energy crisis -- including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama but she obviously has a better energy plan," he told CNN.
