America’s darling, young heiress Paris Hilton, was sentenced to 45 days behind bars today. No, she was not convicted of producing a dull and boring porn film. Those charges are still pending. Our favorite 26 year-old party girl drove on a license previously suspended during a DUI episode. So now, she’ll be leading “The Simple Life”—literally—for a month and a half.
Paris showed up 10 minutes late for her trial. Great start! Go ahead and piss off the judge so you can be sure of getting the most stringent sentence possible. She will not be allowed to buy her way into the country club prison of her choice and she will not be accorded any vehicles for reducing the time served. She has the right to appeal. She’ll probably do that, further wasting the public funds.
Boy, did this idiot ever get what she deserved!
The Redhead says
What I found most telling (and disturbing) about the court proceedings was the behavior of Hilton’s mother. When the prosecutor said Paris deserved jail, Mrs. Hilton laughed. After sentencing, Mrs. Hilton had the gall to say jail was “a waste of taxpayer money.” Like she’s ever given a damn about any taxpayer other than herself!
The irony came when Paris remarked that this was happening to her because of who she is. Well, if she’d gotten off, the same would have been true. I think the judge is trying to teach her a lesson. Letting her off would have only reinforced her notion that she can continue to get away with whatever she wants, whenever she wants–because of who she is.
The Nittany Turkey says
Her defense was that her publicist told her that she could drive. The judge chastised her for taking legal advice from someone other than her team of high-priced lawyers.
Just for the record, I believe that money should bring privilege, but I believe that such privilege must be enjoyed within the confines of the law.

So it doesn’t matter if you’re a scumbag, as long as you have money you should get the first place in line?
The Nittany Turkey says
Sometimes you have to be a scumbag to make money.
