Old Man Hilton Fuming Over McFlame's "Celeb" Ad Featuring Paris
Hiltons Support McCain, Reportedly Fuming Over "Celeb" Ad Featuring Paris

Huffington Post | July 31, 2008 05:59 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The new McCain ad featuring Paris Hilton and Britney spears has roiled the 2008 campaign. In an unexpected twist, it turns out that Paris' father is on the record as an enthusiastic supporter of Sen. McCain:

    Contributors to McCain's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination included Rick Hilton. In fact, Hilton was so enthusiastic about his candidate of choice that, The Times' Tina Daunt reports, federal records show he donated twice as much as the law allows (the campaign returned the excess).

Now, of course, daughter Paris Hilton is the costar (along with Britney Spears) in a controversial new McCain ad aimed at ridiculing Barack Obama. It also seems that the eldest Hilton, William Barron Hilton (who has also contributed money to McCain), is furious with ad, according to conservative blogger and McCain supporter Martin Eisenstadt:

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems that the new McCain ad criticizing Obama for being a celebrity has ruffled some unintended feathers. I, for one, quite liked the ad, but I hear whispers from the inner campaign staff that the phone was burning off the hook today with calls from Paris Hilton's grandfather, William Barron Hilton (co-chair of the Hilton Hotel empire), furious that the McCain ad drew an unflattering comparison between Obama and his own granddaughter...

Apparently, the elder Hiltons had breathed a sigh of relief that Paris was starting to get her act together since hitting rock bottom with her stay in jail last year, when all of a sudden the McCain ad compares her unfavorably to Britney Spears and Barack Obama. Who would have thought presidential politics would be what dragged Paris back into the spotlight.

9. I hope nobody from the McCain campaign or Republican Convention has reservations at a Hilton Hotel.
Edited on Thu Jul-31-08 10:32 PM by IanDB1
If I were him, I would "lose" their reservations at the last minute.

That would be so hot.

18. LOL! I like the fact that
the Hiltons are pissed because they support McCAIN! And don't like being compared to Obama. I'll let that pass simply because it's too much fun watching the trainwreck that is McSame's campaign.

19. Talk About Audacity
I wondered when the Hilton's would come to the aid of Paris. Will the Hilton's tell the McCain camp to cease and desist? Do they need an attorney to draw up something to make it stop. McCain said he was proud of the ad. Hear that Hilton's, he's proud of dissing your daughter.

47. McCain is the same person who allowed * to savage his adolescent
daughter in S. Carolina is an odious and equally racist campaign smear in a previous election and raised now one object. In fact, he went on later to cuddle with * on stage and share b-day cake with him while a hurricaine destroyed a city. McCaine is loathesome.

48. Cindy McCain makes Paris Hilton look like Mother Theresa by comparison.
Paris may be a lot of things, but stealing the husband of a crippled woman is not one of them. Stealing drugs from charities isn't either. Or forging documents for illegal purposes.

50. My favorite headline this morning
McCain equates Obama with the flamboyantly rich Hiltons, but it's McCain whom they support.

But you won't see this contradiction in the media because it requires two thoughts at once.
