I'd heard that Paris Hilton was in trouble for driving with a suspended license. I'd heard she'd even been sentenced to do some jail time for it. I had also heard that she was trying to rally the denizens of MySpace to bully the justice system into not making her pay for what she, stupidly, obviously did wrong. The woman is a millionaire--she couldn't have gotten a driver for the--max--forty-to-sixty days she'd be off her license? Taken cabs? Gotten her other wealthy friends to do the driving? Seriously, this was not a woman without options to avoid violating her probation, so there's no way in hell she deserves any leniency for this shit. You vioated probation, woman! You don't get another chance--probation is your second chance!!

I didn't realize, however, that she had had her license suspended for drunk fucking driving. Excuse the fuck out of me, you CUNT: you went driving DRUNK, got nailed for it before you killed anyone, and now you think you have the right to complain when your slap-on-the-wrist stung too much for your liking? You have the right to shut the fuck up, go to fucking county jail for the like two days they'll actually make you, and sit on this ::gives her the middle finger::

It's better and better that her netroots campaign is arguing that she should not be sent away because of the cruel deprivation we, the lowly masses, will experience in her absence.

The petition to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also claims she was being used as a scapegoat to highlight the dangers of drink-driving.

The petition paints Ms Hilton as a role model who "provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives".


Yes. Because there is something wrong with showing to the world with a public case that we are willing to hold a criminal to the penalties of the law for what she consciously did to violate it and the mercy of the courts as well. Also, my life is made a lot more mundane by being compared to some billionaire bitch who gets to engage in behaviors that might have killed other people and get away with it.

Do you know how my "mundane" life could be improved by Paris Hilton? If the bitch gave away all her money to members of the working middle class and then disappeared to private, non-publicized life forever. My "mundane" life would be vastly improved if, for just once, the rich could be held to the same standards as the rest of us. Is it unfair that Paris Hilton should be the first to suffer for it?

NO. Duh. What's unfair is that she and anyone else of her economic class should ever get away with it, not that we're not letting her this time.

(Hi again! Always fun to chat--it makes the BLINDING AGONY of the subject matter less so.)

I didn't think yelling insults at a judge or disrupting a trial were legal.

At the very least, she needed to be held in contempt of court (yelling at the judge is pretty much textbook contempt) and hauled off to pay the ridiculously low fine and held in a smelly temporary cage until she did so.

I would love to see Paris in the orange jumpsuit. Because it might react so badly with her orange bronzer that she spontaneously burst into flames and DIES. Which is about what you deserve for being a drunk driver anyway, but something of which I think she is especially deserving.
