Paris Hilton’s mother, Kathy Hilton, is angry over John McCain’s Celeb Ad.

“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. “And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States.”

John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said last week that his campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Paris Hilton and singer Britney Spears was part of an attempt to inject humor into the presidential race.

The ad plays on Barack Obama’s popularity by dismissing him as a mere celebrity, like Hilton and Spears. John 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.”

The John McCain Celeb Ad in question:

The Barack Obama campaign has said the ad is proof that John McCain would rather launch negative attacks than debate important issues.

Kathy Hilton, however called the ad “a complete waste of the money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign.” She and her husband donated a total of $4,600 to McCain’s campaign earlier this year.
