Paris Hilton Responds (Sort of) to McCain

Paris Hilton's parents have contributed to the McCain campaign. Although Paris Hilton is refusing to take any formal stand -- brands don't belong to political parties, don't you know -- she refused to object to the McCain ad and some suggest she may be a closet McCain supporter.

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.

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."

Hilton was more interested in discussing her stalled singing career with Sony BMG honcho Charlie Walk as the two huddled in a lavishly decorated Moroccan tent in De Wolfe's back yard.
