Celebutante Paris Hilton was “Today’s Big Deal” on Wednesday on funnyordie.com for her video roasting Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The Hilton heiress, known more for her hotness than her humor, is garnering laughs for her response to a recent McCain ad comparing his Democratic rival Barack Obama’s celebrity both to Hilton’s and that of her frenemy, Britney Spears.
The brief video — in which Hilton dons a revealing swimsuit — is a definite dig on McCain’s age, comparing him to oldsters such as Larry King, the Golden Girls cast and the Crypt Keeper.

But RedEye thinks Hilton and McCain should kiss and make up because they have a lot more in common than they might realize.
1. Wingman (or wingwoman) wanted
McCain has not yet named a veep candidate and post-Nicole Richie, Hilton is still scrambling for a new bestie. In fact, Hilton is headed to MTV to find one in upcoming reality show, “I Wanna Be Paris’ New Best Friend,” according to People. The smart money says McCain need not apply.
2. Fashion plates
Hilton sets the fashion standard in her pricey clothes and signature red carpet stance. But McCain, too, is known for rocking the hot styles, at least on his feet. The Huffington Post has called the candidate on the carpet for his $520 Ferragamo loafers.
3. Heiress twins
Hilton is basically famous for being an heiress and McCain happens to be married to one. His wife, Cindy, is heiress to a large Arizona beer distributorship and her worth has been estimated at more than $100 million, according to The Associated Press.
