Socialite Kathy Hilton, mother of heiress Paris Hilton, has lashed out at Republican presidential hopeful John McCain for his buzzed about campaign ad comparing Democratic senator Barack Obama to celebrities Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

“I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad,” the Hilton matriarch told The Huffington Post on Sunday. “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.”
