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

    Very interesting!
    I wonder how many of John McCains contributors are ruing the fact that their money is being wasted on what McCain claims to be humor and fun!!??

    Humor and fun can be an excuse once, but not over and over.. McCain's about worn this excuse out. Who is his campaign manager anyway, Jeff Foxworthy?

    Whats even more interesting is going to the Huffington article and seeing that McCain's own mother, although she admits not seeing the actual ad, says the idea is stupid. That'll be a tough one to live down.
    After reading Mrs Hilton's comments I tend to think that Mr H wrote the check and said it was from both of them and probably never consulted Mrs H.

    This alerts voters to one more shortcoming McCain has; a lousy sense of humor.

    When thinking of credible voices on proper behavior or moral authority, Kathy Hilton has never been one of those people who come to mind. However, I can understand people taking offense at McCain's humor. It may not be torture, but it's still painful to watch.

    I have been reading some thread comments and it seems that there is still the proverbial "circle jerk" going on about the fact that Obama refused to debate McCain in the so called "townhall debates".
    Have these people already forgotten that it came out, FROM MCCAIN'S CAMP, that the original debates were set to be rigged, with McCain having people planted at these debates asking the questions?? Why would Obama agree to anything McCain sets up now?

    What in the world is wrong with these people, are they just stupid or are they hoping that we are?

    A blond bimbo (with jail time on her resume) is a spokesperson for a confederate racist pig who uses her to discredit his opponent of color.

    He calls himself "straight talk express" and he wants you and me to vote for him so he becomes the President.

    Sorry, hypocrite, we have come a long way 235 years of slavery to vote for you!

    Maybe Paris' mom should be taking more offense to her daughter's actions than McCain's comments. There is a reason why Paris is how she is, and it isn't McCain's humor.

    "Kathy Hilton and her husband donated a total of $4,600 to McCain's campaign earlier this year."
    What is that saying about a fool and their money? McCain and the Hiltons are of the same ilk self inflated egos and of no real consequence.

    good article N2N:
    i am, by no means, a fan of the hiltons.
    but the original use, of this family, and the consequential excuse given, is irreprehencable.
    did nobody in the complete mccain camp, think to take a secon look at this commercial, before using it?

      I figured she would be happy that her talentless daughter is considered a "celebrity." After all, that is what Kathy wanted all along - for Paris to be the "star" she wasn't.

      What's Paris's biggest claim to fame? Dating one of the twins who are in a band that sucks? Yep.

      Paris really deserved a tax break, Cons. Seriously.

      Just how is Obama supposed to be like Paris Hilton ? Let's see - Paris comes from wealth, has a famous last name, has difficulty speaking in public, has had problems with booze and other drugs, received a DUI, and been bailed out by her family numerous times.
      Paris Hilton is just like.............. GEORGE W. BUSH !

      Now that's not only funny - it's far more accurate !

        It amazes me how Paris Hilton's mom had no bad feelings about her daughter being a slut on the internet. The whole world saw the slut in action.

        Funny. Paris' mommy is angry that her daughter is once again used as an exemplar of empty-headed celebrity.

        The only mistake McCain made was calling Paris Hilton a celebrity. Oops, I take that back. Her porn movie made her a celebrity.

          Kathy is mad at John? Let's see. Paris can't sing. Paris can't dance. Can't act. That leaves only one thing the poor little rich girl can do.... One Night in Paris.... Oh that's right the camp tramp designs woman's handbags. Yea right.... She'll make someone a great x-wife or spokesperson for the local VD clinic.

            Not out of character for someone who called his own wife, and the source of his wealth, a "Cunt". Gee I wonder what he will call the public if they elect him?
