Pictures of the panties by any chance?
Most people are afraid to think about the immigration issue, afraid to face the fact that they are powerless, afraid to think of the consequences to them and their families of their own personal lack of power in the face of this invasion. So, they turn to the circus and, for now, pretend that all is ok, with the minor exception of a rich strumpet getting unequal consideration from the criminal justice systems.
I did not realize that President Bush had secretly started the Immigration Bill.
Yeah and wasn’t the President off somewhere having a V8 this week?
What Sandy Berger did in stealing and destroying documents pertinent to investigations as to how the 9-11 attacks occurred and where there were weaknesses in National Security was worse.
The media never gave a Rat’s @$$ about Sandy’s slap on the wrist punishment. The public did, you just didn’t hear about it in the MSM.
Both Paris and Sandy “deeply regret” their errors. Who do you believe more? A young ditsy girl or a lawyer who served in the Clinton Administration and was caught covering up for same administration?
I think both stories show a victory for the rule of law over bleeding heart liberalism. One was a big victory one a little victory. Don’t misunderestimate the importance of the little victories.
Most people's priorities are just fine, it's the media that is all out of whack. If the so-called war on terror were being run in accordance with the wishes of the people, we'd be funding the military properly, taking it to the terrorists and their bastard countries, and be giving them a war they can't believe.
Here's another good sign: the alphabet network news ratings are at their lowest in 20+ years.
Life is a cabaret, old chum.
Come to the cabaret.
No one I know has mentioned Paris Hilton or Britney’s panties, and no one I know cares about either. No one I know has wasted enough time watching the “drama” to comment on its particulars. If you think this drivel is transfixing America then I believe you’ve been drinking too much media koolaid.
If I'm reading you right, it says this whole furor gives us a handle to get attention to something (completely unrelated) that we want to talk about. For that, Paris, we are grateful.
Another thing to consider, 12 million people who circumvented long established law about illegally entry would have gotten a slap on the wrist for their continued crime spree (which includes more personal issues to average Americans like identity theft).
The media and politicians said we were wrong to want to see enforcement of our laws.
Paris doesn’t matter to me. Media hypocrisy and hyperbole is bunk.
In 1998 America was distracted from the Clinton scandals by a home run race between McQuire and Sosa. Pushed the “bad news” right off the front page.
If you really want anything to do with that skank or her panties, you need to get your head examined.
No offense ;-)
Sure it is transfixing America. At least the TV pop-culture America who do not get exposure to relevant issues worth diddley squat from the MSM and the alphabet networks.
If something more relevant were on, even the pop tart for breakfast bunch might opt for steak and eggs instead.
But the perception is that if it gets airtime, it must be important.
That is a media malfunction, and why our TV spends most of the time on cartoon channels when it is on, for the grandkids.

This invasion does. Whether you can directly measure the minute-by-minute increase in that threat or not.
Every minute of every day, YOUR chances of being robbed and murdered by an illegal-alien is increasing, and every minute YOUR share of the illegal-alien welfare/healthcare/prisoncare expense tab is increasing.
Every minute.
You can't compare that to a misplaced Clinton cigar.
I turned my tv off several days ago... Every time I go to the grocery store, all you see in the check out aisle are scandal sheets with the latest ParisLohanAngelinaBradPitt crap.
No wonder we have turned into a country of mush brains. Unless you are self motivated to learn more than what the MSM dishes out, you are doomed to a life watching The View and reading the Star....

Your friends are paying attention to real issues. I was watching C-Span as much as I possibly could (and calling Senators’ offices) but I’ll be that American Idol and TV gossip shows’ ratings creamed C-Span.
I’ll bet Bush has not read the amnesty bill he is pushing.
