The lesson of Paris Hiltons Nazi photo flap

It's been a great week for Nazi references. First, while partying in St. Tropez, Paris Hilton briefly reminded the world she still exists by donning a military style hat, sticking her forefinger underneath her nose, and raising her right hand stiffly into the air. To make matters more absurd, her publicist promptly insisted she was merely dancing and scratching her face, explaining the impossibility of her doing a Nazi salute because, "Half of her family is Jewish and many of her friends are as well."
