I'll bet that the Hiltons are not too pleased with their candidate now.


Paris' Parents to McCain: How Dare You
Posted Jul 30th 2008 3:59PM by TMZ Staff

This has gotta hurt. We did some digging and found Rick and Kathy Hilton gave the John McCain campaign $4,600 this year, and Johnny boy has now taken a shot at their lil' girl.

According to the Federal Election Commission website, the Hilton's contributed the dough last March. Initially, Rick put up all the $$$ but in April it was split between him and his wife.

Now McCain is taking a shot at Obama, using Paris as his ditzy weapon.

4. I know!
I wonder if McCain's staffers checked to see if any of the Hiltons donated money before the ad was created and broadcast. I suppose McCain just doesn't give a shit who he insults. What an idiot.
This incident should serve as a warning to those who donate money to McCain.

6. If they're willing to sacrifice their country for their tax cuts
maybe they won't mind mccain trying to marginalize Obama by saying he's more popular than Paris Hilton?

I haven't seen the ad that I'm sure is nausea inducing but isn't that the gist of it?

13. Here's a link to the video and some comments from the McCain campaign:

http://www.tmz.com/tmz_main_video?titleid=1701198643

In the ad, you see images of Paris and Brit flash across the screen for a split second, then Obama, as the announcer says, "He's the biggest celebrity in the world, but is he ready to lead?" The unspoken implication: another famous flake.

McCain's peeps just came out with this statement: "This ad obviously also addresses a unique facet in Barack Obama's campaign that is unlike any other campaign we've seen in modern political history. A campaign that is focused on the development of an enormous image of celebrity status."

The statement continues, "These images of celebrity status and the way he has conducted his campaign ... owe more to the development of an international celebrity status than it does to a traditional campaign for President."

Translated, McCain is comparing Obama to a woman who shaved her head in a fit of craziness and another who skanked up the screen with a sex tape.

27. In 1987 - of course I'm sure that means nothing to you.
I'm sure you've always held the same opinions even as times have changed.
