6/9     I completely agree with Paris.
        "Hilton added she was "shocked" by the attention her case has received
         and suggested the public and media focus on "more important things like
         the men and women serving our country in Iraq."
        \_ does that mean she's going to refuse to get paid for insipid
           shows about how dumb Paris Hilton is, and dedicate herself to
           solving the crisis in the Middle East?
           Oh, no, it doesn't mean that.  It just means she's in an
           embarrasing position and wants to deflect attention away.  -tom
        \_ Wow, I never realized that she was such a patriot.
           \_ She has *got* to be a Republican.
              \_ No.  She has never spent one moment of her life thinking
                 about politics or much of anything else.  She is not a
                 Republican or a Democrat.  She is an empty headed party girl
                 bimbo with 'parents' who seem to encourage it and certainly
                 don't discourage it.  But her publicist is right.  We have
                 heard way too much about her.  We've also heard plenty about
                 Iraq.  What is news about this is how many people who are
                 given prison sentences are released having served a trivial
                 amount or in some cases no time at all.
        \_ A well placed political troll to detract people from the jail time
           issue -- Paris' publicist is brilliant, simply brilliant.
        \_ Why does anyone care about Paris Hilton anyway? Does it all go back
           to that sex tape incident?
           \- there is a different between "caring about paris hilton" as in
              who did she get into a fight with at which LA club" vs caring
              about the plutocratization of society, one aspect of which is
              see in how the gears of justice turn differently for different
              folks.
