Click the above picture for Paris Hilton’s response to John McCain’s ad that took her image in vain. I am loathe to post something about Ms. Hilton, but this deserves to be seen for two reasons: 1) it highlights how incredibly bad John McCain’s media team is, and 2) it’s pretty funny.

If you don’t know, McCain put out an ad degrading Senator Obama by comparing his celebrity to that of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (watch the ad here).

After accusing Obama of skipping a visit to troops in Germany because he couldn’t bring cameras (false: Obama was told by the Pentagon that it would be considered a campaign visit, and not an official one, so Obama withdrew) and airing an ad directly blaming Obama for high fuel prices (completely disregarding George Bush and the central role of the Iraq War in the plummeting value of the dollar), McCain’s people are digging for new lows. “Let’s use the image of a fallen pop princess with crippling emotional issues to disparage our opponent!” It not only wasn’t fair to Senator Obama, it was disrespectful to Britney Spears, a private citizen who has never done a damn thing to John McCain.

And it was a double jerk-move to Paris Hilton: her parents are big donors to the McCain campaign. So Paris’ response is apt and funny. McCain should personally apologize to Hilton and Spears … and fire his moronic media team.
