McCain is running an ad in battleground states in which he compared Obama to celebrities Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. It has also gotten an inordinate amount of free publicity because he has the corporate media in his pocket, since he's their servant.
So who are some of his big fans and donors? None other than Paris Hilton's parents. Britney herself was a 2000 Bush supporter (no idea where she stands re. politics at the moment.)
Anyway, celebrities in Hollywood are pissed, because they know that Obama isn't a "celebrity" in their scheme of things - he's a "rock star." Paris doesn't consider herself a "political person" but a friend said she was irritated at the use of her name by McCain. It really would be kind of creepy.
Paris's rich grandpappa is also pissed at McCain - he, like her parents, has donated heavily to McCain's campaign, only to have the family name insulted.
