Kathy Hilton setting a better example for her kids
Categories: Health & safety, Celeb kids, Celeb parenting
We all know that Paris Hilton likes to party. We also know that on at least one occasion, she didn't let her inebriated state stop her from getting behind the wheel of a car. She was convicted of driving while intoxicated back in 2006 and in 2007, she spent time in jail for violating the terms of her probation. While the responsibility for those bad decisions rests firmly on Paris' own shoulders, it sounds like her mom feels at least partly to blame. Although Kathy Hilton has never had a drinking problem, she says Paris' issues made her want to set a better example for her family. In order to "walk the walk", she says she gave up drinking altogether and recently celebrated one year of sobriety.
Based on the behavior of her famous daughter, Kathy Hilton may not be a likely candidate for mother of the year, but I respect what she is trying to do. Children do learn by example and parents have a responsibility to try to set a good one. Unfortunately, that may have come too late for the Hilton kids. Just this past February, Kathy's 18-year-old son Barron got his own DWI.

If Kathy wants her daughter to stop behaving like a slut, she should stop telling the media how proud she is of her all the time. Proud of what? A porn tape? Showing her pantyless nether regions to the world when she knows paparazzi are photographing her?

So, Momie Dearest is upset that someone intelligent has finally
called it like it should be on sweet little innocent Paris. God Bless McCain for being honest and not backing down like the liberal media. We need more Americans like him that will tell the truth and quit standing in the corner with their thumbs in their mouth. Calm down Mrs. Hilton. I'm sure Paris will give you something soon to justify Mr. McCain's words like she hasn't already. Porn queen of the web. How proud you must be. No skills except looking dumb and smiling. I can think of a million things I would do if I had her looks and money other than be stupid and show my privates to all the web. What a jewel.
