How is it That Paris Hilton's Energy Plan is at Least as Viable as John McCain and Barack Obama's?

Dying to know more about that video of Paris Hilton skewering John McCain from yesterday?

Among the things I discovered in this article was that it was written by Adam McKay — former head-writer of SNL, founding member of the Upright Citizen's Brigade back in Chicago, and writer/director of Anchorman, Talladega Nights and Step Brothers — and Paris Hilton refused money and just shot it for fun.

Oh, and also…

The 24-year-old heiress memorized her entire monologue, which included Hilton outlining her energy plan, in an online video spoof posted on Funny or Die, the comedy Web site's content director said.

At first, I thought, Wow! She didn't use any cue cards?

And then I thought, Wait a minute, can she even read?
