McCain -- Paris Is My Energizer Bunny
John McCain's mouthpiece has responded to Paris Hilton's stinging retort -- but he's not attacking Hiltie!In the unkindest cut of all, McCain's spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, "Sounds like Paris is taking the 'All of the Above' energy approach that John McCain has advocated -- both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama."
Just hours ago, FunnyOrDie posted a video of Paris calling McCain "wrinkly" and pitching a hybrid energy policy.

MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann owes New York state for unpaid taxes
ALBANY, N.Y. - MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann, who spotlights misbehaviour nightly with his "Worst Person in the World" recognition, owes New York state for unpaid business taxes, according to a tax warrant notice.
And his conservative counterparts and bloggers are making sure the debt is fodder in the ongoing political commentators' feud.
Olbermann, the host of "Countdown," owes New York $2,269.50, according to a tax warrant obtained by The Associated Press.
State Tax and Finance Department spokesman Tom Bergin said the debt recorded against the TV host's Olbermann Broadcasting Empire Inc., based in Los Angeles, is still open.
MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines called it a bookkeeping disagreement between Olbermann's accountants and the state and said it was resolved months ago.
Bergin said the debt could have been resolved recently, but it has not yet been legally "satisfied" and so remains an open case.
The tax debt has been featured on the blog OlbermannWatch.com, which referred to Olbermann as a "deadbeat," and among Page Six items in the New York Post. The tabloid referred to Olbermann as a "professional angry man" who likes tax-and-spend liberals "but didn't pay his own taxes."
Olbermann has named Fox TV conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly the world's worst person more than a dozen times. News Corp., headed by CEO Rupert Murdoch, owns the New York Post and Fox News Channel, among other properties.
