We'll Always Have Paris (Hilton)
The Washington Post ^ | June 8, 2007 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 06/09/2007 10:16:41 AM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Forget immigration, Iraq and -- what's that guy's name? -- Libby. We can all have a national meltdown now over Paris! Maybe Bush should pardon her so she doesn't have to keep wearing that designer ankle bracelet for the next 40 days. I wonder if Britney and Linsday can come over to her new "cell"--is Lindsay out of rehab? I'd better find my copy of Us--and they can pretend they're hitting the clubs. Paris, what are we going to do with you?

This excerpt says it all:

“Within 24 hours, no primate on the planet will be unaware of Paris Hilton’s transfer from the pokie to the ankle bracelet, but it is a safe bet that within weeks or even months, relatively few Americans will know the big news going down now in Iraq.”

Oh Howard, you ignorant slut!

Paris is in the news because you and your fellow MSM cohorts put her there!

And in 1998 we were busy watching a baseball “home run race” instead of caring about what Clinton was doing in DC and Iraq.

This is nothing new.

The media with all of its outlets like the news channels, the Internet, newspapers, TV etc. has to fill the time with something. An air head celebrity like Paris is perfect. Everybody understands when she commits a crime, although minor, that you have to pay the price. She got her comeuppance. Its like Marie Antoinette getting the guillotine. There is pleasure in the rich and famous getting what the average Joe would get.

Since she is young and rich she should move, buy an island or go to one of the countries that do not let people stay out of jail that steal Top Secret Documents and destroy them to protect their former bosses.

What’s really alarming is that in 45 days she’s going to have a cause and a PhD in the subject (at least as far as Hollywood and the LSM are concerned).

Even more alarming is that there will be PhD dissertations written about this. Mark my words.

With a name like Paris Hilton, you expect that she would have lots of tourists.

For those who missed it...

This week, the Iraqi parliament 'passed a binding resolution that will guarantee lawmakers an opportunity to block the extension of the U.N. mandate under which coalition troops now remain in Iraq when it comes up for renewal in December.' But if you didn't read that in an exclusive alternet.org story by Raed Jarrar and Joshua Holland, or if you didn't get an email from a friend (as I did) saying, Didja see this?, you might not know that a majority of Iraqi lawmakers has now fashioned a two-by-four to thump President Bush on the head and end our occupation. But no doubt you would know about the girl locked in a tiny room in Connecticut."

The Iraq vote does kinda sorta seem like news, doesn't it?

"Paris, what are we going to do with you?"

"What we have here is a fail-ure to communicate!"

The Captain is gonna have to put her back in "the box"...
