The Paris Hilton Episode

I don't know what is more bizarre. That she is a celebrity just for being rich and therefore she gets this press coverage that seems to have been written by some cynical, post-O.J. satirist (except that this is sadly no satire), or, that she really is being made into some sort of exceptional example by the judge because of her celebrity.

No one should ever be in a position to stick up for Paris Hilton but it does appear that the line between treating the rich & famous like the rest of us vs. making an example out of them appears to have been crossed.

And in case you're wondering, we're still in Iraq.
