    "Thou shalt not be rich, famous, young, and beautiful...else face the lash of spiteful, sadistic, editorial critique."

    I'm seriously emarrassed for you. Take a look at this video, please - 2:53 minutes in and then 4 minutes in - and watch how your beautiful beleaguered princess spits out the word 'nigger,' 'public school bitch,' and 'fucking Compton bitch.'

    If you know anything about Ms. Hilton - and I imagine you do, having taken the time to pen this impassioned plea on her behalf- this is certainly not a surprise to you. The clip above is not the only video featuring her throwing around the word 'nigger.' And yet, here you are, sanctimoniously defending away - which, wow. It just makes you look like such an unbelievable loser. Kinda reminds me of the dorks in high school sucking up to the mean popular girls - only you are, I'm assuming, an adult woman. That's so sad.
