Neutral

Ahh, this is too bad. I was hoping Paris Hilton would recognize the opportunity and come out swinging like Scarlett O'Hara and tell a tale of the besmirched dignity of Southern womanhood at the hands of that rapscallion, John McCain:

NONPARTISAN Paris Hilton - as neutral as Switzerland - refuses to be dragged into presidential politics.

On Saturday night, at a Bridgehampton mansion rented by MySpace founder Chris De Wolfe, the haughty hotel heiress told Page Six she wasn't distraught over being featured last week in a John McCain campaign ad which mockingly compared Barack Obama to Paris and Britney Spears.

But acting was never Paris' strong suit, and maybe she just never saw the opportunity. (The code of the Old South allowed rough behavior between male antagonists, but using, or hiding behind, female skirts was the lowest form of low behavior, and to be utterly condemned.) Indeed, in contrast, Paris' code may be that attention from any source, even hostile attention, is far better than to be ignored.

Nevertheless, Paris is coy enough to keep the Obama fans happy:

Though her parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, are backing McCain and donated $4,600 to the Republican's campaign, Paris said she isn't a member of any party and isn't endorsing any candidate. But, echoing the theme of the Obama campaign, Paris said, "I think we need a change."
