John McCain makes Kathy Hilton mad
Categories: Celeb Parenting
Kathy Hilton doesn't appreciate John McCain's sense of humor. The presumptive Republican nominee recently used Hilton's daughter, Paris, in what many are calling a negative TV ad. The ad showed images of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears surrounded by paparazzi, then went on to lump Barack Obama into this category of "celebrity". McCain says that the ad was meant to "inject humor" into the campaign, but Kathy Hilton isn't laughing. She told Huffington Post, "It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign." She speaks from experience; the Hiltons donated $4600 to McCain's campaign.
I'm sure that it's been painful for Kathy to see Paris portrayed in a negative light over and over again in the press (not that it wasn't deserved), but to have a candidate who you support vocally and financially put your daughter's image into this kind of ad has to sting.

Well as a non-US reader can I say that if I want blatant Obama promotion from every slant under the sun then I'll look at digg (it's so full of it Obama must be hiring all the sleazy marketeers in the US). This is supposed to be a site about parenting - the clues in the title.
Yes everyone has a parent but sheesh put your shoehorn away and stick to the message.
Way to go and join the political crap slinging Parentdish.

It doesn't matter that Paris Hilton is an adult the fact is the Hilton family donated money to his campaign to support him and what does this genius do? He takes a dump on their daughter on national TV as his way of saying "thanks". They could have come up with a better ad than this, it just shows how desperate the Republican party is b/c Obama is getting So Much (and usually positive) attention. I laughing at both idiots, McCain and the Hiltons, well deserved.
