CAPITOL HILL (CNN) The lines between celebrity and politician blurred into a haze Thursday at a Republican news conference, as one congressman began pushing Paris Hilton's plan on energy.
"Let's bring up the Paris Hilton plan," goaded Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas.
Burgess and his fellow Republicans are in day five energy speeches on the House floor, despite the fact that the chamber is closed for August recess. They're trying to pressure House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into holding a vote on offshore oil drilling.

I agree with you. I don’t know why people are so hard on her except it is easy? They don’t do that to young men who kick up their heels on their way to being successful businessmen.
Her video was a riot even if she didn’t write it.
since the MSM is like totally ignoring the Republicans now protesting in the dark House of Representatives, asking her to come and join them, would be brilliant, the MSM would have to cover it.
Reality doesn’t matter. Perception is what matters.
The Hilton gambit shouldbe spun to a winning position. It is to older people a joke but to many young people it can be a voice of realaity interjected into a very boring campaign.
That what spinners are for....... make lemonade
We need a vote

You know, if she could somehow be persuaded to come to the revolt for a day, it would be awesome publicity for both our cause and her.
Too late.

“With Paris, what you see is what you get. Not so with Obama. Plus, Paris does not go ballistic if someone pokes fun at her. All in all, I like her better than I do Obama and she is way easier on the eyes.”
Amen. You said/expressed every word for me. Thank you.
If she runs for president, and I was not going to vote, I would vote for her, though. As you stated, she is easier on the eyes.
Also, she is not a liar like the rest (OB, Hillary, McNut). She may be everything else, but not a political liar.
(Maybe we can bump her age up a tad by offering a re-tooled CoLB.)
I was going to ask if part of “her” plan included nuclear.
It is pretty funny that Paris Hilton supports drilling...
But, perhaps that’ll play with the public well...
