WASHINGTON - Paris Hilton's mother doesn't share John McCain's sense of humor.
McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said last week that his campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Hilton and singer Britney Spears was part of an attempt to inject humor into the presidential race.
On Sunday, Hilton's mother, Kathy Hilton, a McCain donor, registered her disapproval.
"It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs," Kathy Hilton said in a short article posted on the liberal Huffington Post Web site. "And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States."
The ad plays on Obama's popularity by dismissing him as a mere celebrity, like Hilton and Spears. The Obama campaign has said the ad is proof that McCain would rather launch negative attacks than debate important issues.
McCain on Friday denied that his campaign had taken a negative turn, saying, "We think it's got a lot of humor in it, we're having fun and enjoying it."
Kathy Hilton, however, was unpersuaded, calling the ad "a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign."
Kathy Hilton and her husband donated a total of $4,600 to McCain's campaign earlier this year.

LOL Spears is a poor choice to use as an archetypal "celebrity". She fell off a long time ago. He should've chose Lohan or someone like that.

Just another example of how out of touch McCain is.

True, Obama is the Lindsey Lohan of this race, but McCain is the Britney Spears.

While he may have "approved of this message", I doubt he wrote it.

Paris' mother should be ashamed for raising a skank ho.....

Any truth that the prospective title of John McCain's next book is: "From Hanoi To Paris, Living The Hilton Lifestyle"?

Or ahead of the curve, stories last week about her coming back and her recovery.

How about the fact that McCain is placing an add with a successful black man with two famous yet sluttish white girls.

Does anyone find it has some racial undertones ?

Only those with racial overtones. Do you have a problem with mixed couples or something?
