Congressman wants to bring up 'Paris Hilton plan'Posted: 12:29 PM ET
By CNN Radio's Lisa Desjardins WASHINGTON (CNN) - The lines between celebrity and politician blurred 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 the fifth day of 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. |
