Kathy Hilton lashed out at Republican presidential hopeful John McCain today for approving a campaign ad comparing Democratic rival Barack Obama to Hollywood celebrities Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

The mother of celebutante Paris Hilton chose the political Web site The Huffington Post to voice her opposition.

“I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad,” she said. “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.”

Last week, McCain brushed off criticism of the celebrity-oriented ad, which called Obama “the world’s biggest celebrity,” saying it was simply an attempt inject humor into the presidential campaign.
