Paris Hilton’s Parents Are McCain Donors

The John McCain campaign may want to rethink its strategy of attacking Barack Obama by comparing him Paris Hilton, her family has kicked a lot of money to his campaign.

Paris’s parents have donated a combined $6,900 to the McCain campaign. The celebutaunt’s father Rick gave McCain $4,600 in March, and her mother Kathleen spent her own $2,300 in April.

The family patriarch William Barron Hilton, the co-chairman of the Hilton hotel chain and celebrity’s grandfather, has made five separate donations to McCain, totaling $15,100. The elder Hilton is a highly active GOP donor for several campaigns and committees, having donated to Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani as well as the National Republican Senatorial Committee to the tune of $15,000.

Paris has not donated to a candidate.

Unlike the Hilton’s, the McCain camp doesn’t have to worry about offending the family of Britney Spears. Neither the pop star nor her family have made any campaign contributions.
