Paris Slighted

Indignation is rippling through the Hilton family over the McCain campaign's attack on Paris Hilton. It seems they see her reputation as having been diminished by the comparison to Barack.

According to reports, the McCain campaign office received a furious phone call from William Barron Hilton (co-chairman of the Hilton Hotel empire), who took issue with the comparison between Senator Obama and his granddaughter.

He has a right to complain.

Donor records show William Hilton has given $US18,400 ($19,420) to the McCain campaign and $US35,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the past two years. Paris Hilton's father, Rick Hilton, has given $US6,900 to the McCain campaign.

I wonder if William Barron Hilton heard about the sex tape that made Paris a star.
