Victim of Society

I may be a heartless bastard, and a tabloid vulture to boot.  But like the lefties like to say about murderers, rapists, etc., society made her what she is. High society, in her case. 

Anyway, I feel bad for her.  How can you look at anyone piteously sobbing on her way to jail and not feel bad for her, when her crime is not sticking a knife in someone, raping someone’s grandmother, holding anyone up at gunpoint or stealing their life’s savings, but essentially failing to figure out that the rules apply to her. Sort of like how I feel bad for the trainwrecks that are Britney and Lindsay, who are more specifically victims of adults who felt they had to share their little darling’s talent with the world, maybe wanted to live vicariously through their little darling’s accomplishments and make a pile off their darling little asses.

Anyway, drunk driving kills, she did the crime, she has to do the time. Life just got a whole lot simpler than Paris Hilton probably ever expected.

My mistake, she’s not an irresponsible privileged and pampered victim of society at all. She’s a victim of Bush, or would be, if he suspended habeas corpus in the United States. It’s all clear to me now. Thanks, TalkLeft, for the translation of “habeas corpus” and the explanation of the politic ramifications of the Paris Hilton affair:

… Paris will spend the weekend in the medical facility of the jail and her lawyers will file a writ of habeas corpus for her on Monday. Habeas corpus literally means “bring forth the body.”* At least she still has the right to bring one, unlike those at Guantanamo, and if we don’t watch the Republicans in Congress closely, none of us may in the future depending on what crimes we’re charged with and where they decide to house us.

* In Pig Latin, which is linguistically a close cousin to Bushian Newspeak, that’s “Ring-Bay Orth-fay the Oddy-bay.” It literally means “habeas corpus.”

Leftfield revels in the comeuppance:

No one is above the law, not Administration Lapdogs like Scooter Libby and not Pampered Princesses.

Interesting how that all gets rolled together.  Sounds like class warfare.

Gun-toting Liberal applauds the blindness of justice.  I’d agree with that, but I haven’t seen the stats on incarceration in California for her variety of lawscoffing.

MVDG is disgusted that she is being treated as a circus act. I have to say, in my opinion as a highly trained tabloid news professional, she is one.  The publicity is the one part of this sordid business no one can squawk about, as she has done everything she possibly could to call attention to herself, with great success. In fact, I’ve been an admirer of how she essentially turned nothing … herself … into a major cultural phenomenon. As I like to say to Cher, George and Sean, when we’re lounging poolside, doing lunch … “You know, you could always give all the money back.” 

Captain’s Quarters: Flog her!

Important Paris UPDATE: The Pious Life.

Earlier Paris, with vid, here.

Welcome, Punditeers, Memeorandizers, Captain’s swabs, denizens of Driscoll’s noire world, etal.  As you ponder timeless questions such as whether Paris should languish, here’s more fodder for deep thoughts: uberFisk or Superfisk? Is there something about Mary? Does Hillary = Sexy? Then, the question of the ages. What is it about boobs?

    What I find even more pathetic than Paris Hilton is the clamor surrounding her. I agree that she is pathetic, but I do not find her pitiable.

    She is a fully grown woman of 26. If she doesn’t face reality now, she never will. Her pain is of her own making–and that of her despicable parents.

    How’s that for cold and heartless?

  2. Pamela Says:

    Jules

    So good to see you speaking truthfully about yourself: “in my opinion as a highly trained tabloid news professional.”

    The Paris affair is a circus and honestly if tabloid trained folks like yourself ignored her, many of us wouldn’t be missing anything.

  3. alphie Says:

    I bet Scooter Libby cries more than Paris did when he’s dragged off to the slammer.

  4. saltydog Says:

    I bet the ant would fall down in a dead stupor if he attempted to stay on topic.

  5. alphie Says:

    Sorry, Salt,

    What was the topic?

    Will Bush pardon his fellow drunk driver Paris?

  6. The_Real_JeffS Says:

    Golly, Jules, exhibit a little self-depreciation, and the trolls come out of the woodwork. So much for humility being a virtue.

    And I still think that Paris ought to be put out of her misery. Think of the children, people!

  7. Democratic Convention Party Political Local Advertising Presidential Campaigns » Blog Archive » L.A. Could Have Spared Us Paris Says:

    [...] Whatever…. I mean come on, does Paris really matter in the grand scheme of how messed this country is right now. Maybe she’s the poster child for the folks who want to ignore the real tragedies in our country by focusing on the celebrity dramas that take away from the real discourse about fixing our country. If we can’t fix Paris, then what can we fix? There’s a lot broken in our country and no doubt one of the things that needs fixing is our justice system, and the other is our media’s obsession with the celebrity follies here in L.A.. Like this self admitted, “highly trained tabloid news professional.” [...]

  12. RebeccaH Says:

    Before anyone feels too sorry for Paris Hilton, they might consider that incarceration is forcing her to withdraw from whatever it is she uses to get high, and that might account for some of the kicking and screaming when she got hauled off the second time. It’s pretty clear to me that her family put pressure on somebody (the sheriff, a local politician who needs campaign funds) to get her out of jail after three days, thinking that was enough to scare her. Thank God for a judge who didn’t see it that way and decided to defend his court’s prerogative, as well as the concept of “equal under the law”.

  13. drtaxsacto Says:

    Were there any real justice in the world two additional things would happen. Ms. Hilton would be charged for all the special treatment she has gotten - how many police cars are necessary to bring her to court and to jail. Then Sheriff Baca would be sentenced to a permanent position on E! and voted from office.

  15. jspooner Says:

    When the spokesmen for the sheriffs department said that the sentence was much much harsher than the usual sentence for driving with a suspneded license I was not surprised.

    Envy is a deadly sin. Mercy is a virtue. And there is something very ugly about this story.

    Real_ JeffS said:
    “And I still think that Paris ought to be put out of her misery.”

    Never mind her misery, Jeff. Put her out of our misery. A self-imposed media blackout on the whole sorry state of affairs should do the trick nicely.

    We need pre-paparazzi days when a gentler dose of imagery included the likes of Artists such as Wallace Seawell…Now, a traveling sea of high-tech gear. Jules Crittenden has this to say:

  20. Jon Swift Says:

    I Am Paris Hilton

    In Los Angeles a judge ordered Paris Hilton to come before him and just like those Roman slaves in Spartacus, I, along with millions of Americans, cry out, “I am Paris Hilton!”

  21. heather Says:
