What Good Can Come of This?
Well, with any luck perhaps Paris will become someone's bitch and be taught how to screw right. If her video is any guide, you'd have to be into necrophelia to want to mount that skeleton.
Oh how I wish that dizzy bitch would just go away.

I'm Sick of This Shit
Seriously, I am sick of this no-talent, nothing skank. Why do you all keep writing about her? And those of you who feel sorry for her---WHY?
I wish they'd put her as* UNDER the f'ing jail, and keep her there. And everybody keeps saying she's beautiful---why is THAT? My mother taught me that "pretty is as pretty does"...and she has done NOTHING to earn the compliment. She looks like a horse faced praying mantis to me.
I'm so sick of her, and of all of you who write about her like she's some cultural icon, some sick symptom of the rest of us. Maybe you, but not me. She's a skank. Period

So much of this doesn't add up
I know some good, investigative reporter will find out why her lawyers did not want to reveal her psychiatric state before she was sentenced. Why her lawyers were unprepared to submit medical documentation today when it could have had an impact on the judge's decision. Instead she chose to deteriorate and use the sheriff to get out so that she wouldn't have to reveal whatever it is that causes her to fall apart in a day. A prison could have furnished antidepressants. Or maybe she is a drug addict and she's going into withdrawal.
Or is it that she just doesn't like jail, the food and decor?
I'll never use anything Hilton ever again. Her family are enablers. Disgusting.

Sympathy for the Devil
Once again I find myself brain-raped by the readership's responses to a Salon article. This isn't about hating some poor, lost soul (a la that infernal commercial in which a certain model/actress begs "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"). It is a question of our sanity as a society, embodied in a person (Paris Hilton) and the justice to be dispensed.
First, one wonders, how did justice, even LA style, ever become the province of the public, let alone the Sheriff's office? Sheriff's provide law enforcement. They arrest offenders, breachers of the peace and worse. That includes drunk drivers, the most under-prosecuted class of criminal extant, and one of the most destructive. But it is the judiciary which dispenses justice.
There is whining here that Paris Hilton may kill herself in jail (it happens every so often, but not to those who are so utterly self-absorbed). There is beefing here about staph germs in jails. We really need to clean up da joint before we put any really clean and decent white folks in there. There is caterwauling about "fairness", which is nothing but the last sanctuary of those who cannot bring themselves to deal with love. Love? Yes, that's what I said. Love. No one is doing Ms. Hilton any favor by getting her a soft ride for having been DUI. "But other people are routinely released early in LA county in order to relieve overcrowding!" Yes, it's deplorable but it's true, and there is a process by which that happens and it is not because the Sheriff decides to interpret the law for the judges.
Will Paris Hilton benefit from this horrendous experience? Will she off herself? Will she go on a hunger strike? But I am being redundant. Will society recieve equitable treatment under the law and equal protection? Yes. If she gets a regular early out then she'll have been treated like the majority of pains-in-the-ass who jam the system with their idiot behavior anyway. If not, well hell, she may actually gain a tiny bit of insight into what it's like to be a real person.
Will she "go away"? Unlikely, so long as this society avoids intense psychotherapy and continues to feast on the voyeuristic pleasure of feeling somehow morally superior to the Rich and Famous. But the rest of us can look away. Having read the incredibly warped sentiments here, I will certainly be looking in some other direction the next time Ms. Hilton is beamoaning her truly sad state in life. If only she could know how sad it really is...

You know what would really SUCK? If Paris had killed someone while driving drunk?
But I guess that's not the important thing here.

Sadly, this is significant
To those who believe Salon is
a)laughing at Hilton, or otherwise being cruel
b)indulging in the media's Hilton obsession,
please read the article again, carefully. Repulsive as she is, the "cultural" phenomenon of Paris Hilton is a significant touchstone of our times, and bears some thoughful attention. We got that, with a little humor too.
Now if the media could only get clear on the very significant difference between prison and county jail. That's just a matter of basic accuracy...

I just can't muster any sympathy for her.
There's a lot of people in the world that do deserve sympathy, but Paris Hilton is not one of them. There's plenty of people in jail that don't like the food, or are depressed because they can't hang out with their friends, but they have to do their time, or if they don't, it's not because they pouted and cried.
The fact is she's a grown woman that drove drunk and could have easily killed someone, and this is a woman that has access to millions of dollars, she could easily just hire someone to drive her and her friends around from club to club, but she chose to drink and drive. She, and her family, were already planning a big house party for her after her 3 day stay, which they were calling 5 days because that's what she got credit for. She needs a good dose of reality, maybe next time she'll hire a driver.

Drop the soap
You think she'll be crying when she drops the soap in the prison shower?

another hard lesson

Hate to be the one to break it to you, Virgo, but that's what mothers say to their ugly kids about somebody else's pretty kids...

O.J. Lawyer Robert Shapiro said Sheriff Bozo recieved $1,000 campaign contribution from the Hilton family during the last election
Funny how he didn't mention that when he offered his litany of excuses for letting Paris the Heiress go home.
There's more where that came from Sheriff Bozo. You know money talks and Paris walks.
