I admire Paris Hilton. While her life circumstances have been far from difficult, she has taken an identity that society despises and made something of it. She did not turn to lawyers when the embarrassing sex tapes surfaced, but instead "went with the flow" of her notoriety and became one of the world's foremost celebrities.
At its peril has the John McCain campaign learned to trifle with Paris. She's back in the spotlight with a rebuttal to the TV ad and her energy plan, which is said to be superior in ways to those which the presidential candidates have presented.
Yes, she is, as she says of herself, "hot." Not bad for a day's work while soaking up the sun.
