    Uh, Rebecca?

    There is no question that we are culpable, as readers and writers and photographers and Web surfers and consumers -- addicted to the empty calories and steady buzz of hating on Hilton.

    To paraphrase Tonto: "Who's WE, white woman?"

    YOU may be obsessed with Hilton. I've never given a flying fuck about that brainless whore, or any of her lowlife hangers-on, and neither has anyone of any intelligence that I'm acquainted with. Maybe folks in New York are incapable of tearing themselves away from idiotic tabloid rags like the Post, but don't be tarring the rest of us with that brush, ok? Some of us have the brains to know a waste of attention when we see it, thank you.

    Next time you go on one of your soapbox rants, try speaking for yourself. You'll come off much less insulting to your readers.
