ET has the latest...

Michelle Obama is speaking out about the John McCain campaign ad that likened her husband Barack to a celebrity in the vein of Paris Hilton.

In a "Good Morning America" interview, she said: "It's funny to have anybody characterize Barack as an elitist ... You know, this is the kid who was raised by a single mother, who didn't have access to many resources, who, you know, has walked away his entire life from lucrative careers to work in the community ... This guy, you know ... he personifies all of what we hope that our kids can be."

McCain's ad of course inspired Paris Hilton's popular viral video spoof on Funnyordie.com

An extended version of the interview will air on "Nightline" at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.
