Kathy Hilton Slams John McCain’s Ad Featuring her Daughter Paris

“I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad,” Hilton told The Huffington Post. “I actually have three responses. 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.

Meanwhile, Paris’ rep told Usmagazine.com: “Miss Hilton was neither asked, nor did she give permission, for the use of her likeness in the ad, and has no further comment.”

The Obama campaign responded in a statement: “On a day when major news organizations across the country are taking Senator McCain to task for a steady stream of false, negative attacks, his campaign has launched yet another. Or, as some might say, ‘Oops! He did it again.’”

McCain’s campaign reportedly is spending $140,000 a day to run the ad in battleground states, Foxnews.com reported.

“We’re running against a celebrity. He is someone who gathered throngs of fans overseas,” McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds told FOX News on Saturday.

McCain’s team attacked Obama again, Saturday, for agreeing to three presidential debates, but not at town hall like McCain wanted.

“It’s disappointing that Senator Obama has refused his offer to do joint town hall meetings,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said in a statement. “We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama ’s magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he’ll reconsider.”
