Kathy Hilton Blasts John McCain

2008_07_hiltons.jpgAfter John McCain's campaign rolled out an ad criticizing Barack Obama, essentially equating him to "celeb" du jours Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, here's the Hilton family response: Kathy Hilton writes on Huffington Post, "It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign. 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. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States." Hilton and her husband Rick have donated $4,600 to the McCain campaign, which has said about the ad, "We think it's got a lot of humor in it, we're having fun and enjoying it."
