I hate Paris as much as anyone and I’m disgusted that she was released — but someone should at least fact-check these articles. Her sentence was for repeatedly driving with a suspended license, not repeatedly driving drunk. (She got caught for that once — which is why her license was suspended.) And that petition was NOT written by her lawyers, but by her “friend Joshua”, and was posted on her MySpace page. And she did not win an Oscar for her performance. I think you meant “Oscar-worthy”.

If you’re going to blog about trashy celebrity scandals, you should at least show some pride in your editing.

Its absolutely disgusting. Can anyone dig in a bit and find out which judge or authority authorized this travesty? Someone signed off on this and their names should be held up for public ridicule.

â€œShe provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives.â€

At least her lawyers provide a bit of comic relief.
My mundane life can use a laugh now and then.

Ashen Shard- You are right about the Republicans. How many times during Monicagate did they sanctimoniously go on about the rule of law and personal responsibility. Now obstruction and perjury have become accidental memory lapses. Little Scooter had too much to think about and he couldn’t be expected to remember everything.

It is incredible to me how the right wing can still claim this with a straight face.

This will sound harsh, but here it is. When the fragile heiress decided she couldn’t live with the spartan accomodations, the county should have rewarded her with a chance to spend the rest of her sentence at Gitmo.

I hope at least she has to do some community service. The movie of her life should be called “The Young and the Useless.”

This kind of stuff has to stop. By letting people like Paris get off lightly only undermines our legal system. Letting her out early will do more damage if she is, as they claim, a role model for young people. Now young people are going to think they can do anything and get away with it like Paris. Gonna be ugly when they find out they have to be rather wealthy and powerfully connected to get the rubber glove treatment. Actually I hope that the fact that she was let out because she was such a cry baby would have a negative effect on her image, but I won’t hold my breath on that one.

As for Libby, if he is pardoned then the Republicans have no right to hold onto their tough on crime image, because they are only tough on crime when it is not one of their own. In fact by losing their tough on crime image, I think it will damage their tough on terrorism image, which is about all they have got going right now and is fading rather fast on its own.

Here is my take on it all: Libby will do the same thing. Once he goes to jail, he will cry, call for his mamma, say ‘i’m sooo sorry’ and they’ll let him go / Bush will pardon him.

I am not sure why this bothers me so MUCH! I really never expected her to go anyway. Why are any of us so caught up in anything hollywood? It’s so much like our government…all glitz and no substance. Why don’t we raise our voice loud enough to stop all the crap in both places!? I guess it’s just another straw on the camels back…..after hearing that our government supports the illeagals with more stuff than we give our own troops!!! It is too late isn’t it. It is down to the wire, and we’ve thrown up our hands.

Was The Libby Sentence ‘Extreme’?

The sentencing of Scooter Libby has created a firestorm of protest in the blogosphere, and even in the Republican presidential primary contest. Most of the candidates said they would consider a pardon, if elected and if George Bush has not…
