@%&#!!! Even in prison, Paris Hilton got special treatment

[derby378]

Keith Olbermann is reporting that while other inmates had to wait in line to use a pay phone, Paris Hilton was handed a cell phone. And Paris' jumpsuit was brand new while other prisoners' jumpsuits were previously used.

Yet another manifestation of Bush administration justice, folks. Even when the good guys win, they lose.

:mad:

1. Paris doesn't know how to use a land line

They'd have explained it all to her, but her sentence was too short to run through all the details.

[DS1]

5. Which one is true?

Not knocking you, but was she handed a cell phone or did she have to be taught how to use a payphone?

Either way, she had special treatment going in.

Anyway, what's up with Keith covering this crap? The world will manage to survive whether or not Paris got a new set of clothes or had to wear a washed set.

[JeffR]

8. Agree on the last point

As to the first, poor widdle Paris just doesn't grok that, like, totally ancient, like, technology and all. Obviously, she was classed as a special-needs inmate.

[DS1]

11. She's lived the ultimate pampered life

and while I wouldn't mind living it myself, I can't find the energy to get mad at her. I just don't care. Go be Paris. Whatever. I'm never going to hang out in the clubs she does, or with the people she does. Out of curiosity I looked up the website for For Deux or whatever the name of her favorite club is. A shot of Johnny Walker Blue costs 1,000 dollars. You can buy the entire bottle for 200. Even 200 for the entire bottle is too rich for me. Hers is a level I don't even want to get to. Even if I won 300 million in the lottery, after taxes, I wouldn't hang out with those douchebags. I'd take care of my friends and family, and we'd all have a rocking time. Together. In a simple barbecue. While setting Porsche's on fire

12. Spare some for the nearest Hummer!

:rofl:

[Gman]

2. Yeah, but she still went to jail

which makes her a much better person than Scooter Libby.

4. You've got a point, there...

:hi:

[JDPriestly]

3. The Bush administration had nothing to do with it.

This is corruption at the county level. Our sheriff's name is Baca, Lee Baca.

[derby378]

7. It just seems symptomatic of what's going on in America today

No, Bush didn't mandate special treatment for Hilton. Yes, Bush did mandate special treatment for at least one white, rich, PNAC-affiliated associate of his.

15. Well, down here in the hills of Tennessee

We'd say, " Somebody needs to be Chewin' Baca"

and spittin' him right outta office

[Buck Turgidson]

6. Huh? What does Bush have to do with Paris?

The LA jails are overcrowded so most people spend little or no time in jail. The judge actually treated her WORSE than usual.

[sandnsea]

9. She went to jail, not prison

She got put in there when almost nobody else would have been.

One of the problems she had was some sort of allergic rash, anybody would have been given a new jumpsuit if they were getting sick from a rash.

Finally, who gives a fucking shit about Paris goddamn Hilton.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

16. Who does really care.

That's what I was wondering as well. I mean, I suppose I would if there was a knock at my door and a nude Ms. Hilton was standing there, making all sorts of creative suggestions on how we could pass the time for the rest of the evening, but beyond that impossibility, she doesn't affect my life and never will.

In real terms, it's like she doesn't even exist.

10. Make her majesty use a an old spit-into pay phone??

Not in this great country, by god!!!

[Sanctified]

13. We have troops dying, Presidents Lying and Republicans in Hiding

but Mainstream Media is worried about Paris Hilton, go figure.

[merh]

14. Our justice system has always been up for sale. What's new?

And hell, at least she did some time.

[pitohui]

17. you've got to be kidding

her "special treatment" was going to jail for something -- driving w. a suspended license -- that thousands of americans do every day and never spend a minute in jail for, including many i know who don't have a fucking dime
