President Paris Hilton

Seen at yesterday's Veterans Day Parade, on 5th Avenue between 26th and 27th Streets. The gentleman holding the sign spoke to NYC The Blog, explaining that Paris "did a political video" and "was involved with the campaign. She's already like America's President and I just want to spread the word."
