Yesterday, I wrote about McCain's "Celebrity" attack ad, which compares Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, implying that he's more of a flashy pop figure than an actual politician ready to lead.
Aside from the obvious problems with that approach, there's also the fact that Paris Hilton's family members are (or, rather, were) avid McCain supporters, and donated money to his campaign on more than one occasion. Apparently, William Barron Hilton, the eldest Hilton and Paris' grandfather, is none too happy with the ad.
In addition, McCain apparently used her likeness without her permission. One of the socialite's representatives told TMZ:
"Miss Hilton was not asked, nor did she give permission for the use of her likeness in the ad and has no further comment."
Nicely done.
Update: Paris Hilton's mother just weighed in with her opinion on the matter.
"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."
