Kathy Hilton, Paris Hilton's mother, is upset with John McCain's campaign for its use of her daughter in a campaign commercial.

The Huffington Post is featuring a blog post from Hilton in which she calls the McCain campaign's "Celeb" ad, in which Paris Hilton is fleetingly linked as a celebrity to Barack Obama, "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," she writes.

Kathy Hilton and her husband have donated $4,600 to McCain's campaign. She called the spot "a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign."

The ad in question:

Yesterday we told you how the McCain campaign was using its "Celeb" ad as a fundraising tool. Turns out the Obama campaign had the same idea.

"Less than 24 hours ago, the McCain campaign launched the latest and lowest in a series of misleading attack ads," campaign manager David Plouffe writes in a fundraising appeal that arrived this afternoon. "This Karl Rove-style ploy misleads people about Barack's energy plan and even mocks his ability to inspire voters and bring Americans back into the political process."

The email quotes former McCain strategist John Weaver calling the ad "childish" and says "watchdogs in the media are calling McCain's accusations 'bogus,' 'desperate,' 'wrong,' 'misleading,' 'ugly,'
'offensive,' 'reckless,' and 'a nasty turn into the gutter.'"

"In the face of these new attacks, you can help demonstrate that a movement funded by grassroots supporters giving only what they can afford is ready to take on the Republican fundraising machine and its onslaught of negativity," Plouffe writes.

The email concludes with a link to the Obama campaign's response ad.

Earlier today, the McCain campaign released a TV ad called "Celeb," which juxtaposed shots of Barack Obama with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and asked of Obama, "He's the biggest celebrity in the world – but is he ready to lead?"

Now the Obama campaign has responded with its own ad, called "Low Road," which accuses McCain of "practicing the politics of the past" before transitioning into a positive message on Obama's energy plan.

Watch "Low Road" below:

The McCain campaign seems to think it has a good thing on its hands with its new television ad linking Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. The spot, "Celeb," is now being used in a fundraising plea from the campaign.

After linking to the new spot, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis writes: "We agree that Senator Barack Obama may be the 'biggest celebrity in the world.' But as you and I know, simply attracting large crowds of fans with empty rhetoric doesn't prepare a person to lead a country. The more we get to know the real Barack Obama, the more he shows that he is not ready to lead our country."

The email goes on to ask "that you make a donation of whatever you can give to help us air this ad for millions to see."

Davis also sent a memo out earlier today reinforcing the message of the spot – and casting Obama as an arrogant elitist basking in "fans, paparazzi and media adoration." The criticism is reminiscent of that leveled at Democratic nominee John Kerry in 2004.

Writes Davis: "Only a celebrity of Barack Obama's magnitude could attract 200,000 fans in Berlin who gathered for the mere opportunity to be in his presence. These are not supporters or even voters, but fans fawning over The One. Only celebrities like Barack Obama go to the gym three times a day, demand 'MET-RX chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of a hard-to-find organic brew -- Black Forest Berry Honest Tea' and worry about the price of arugula."
