Seconds later, the judge announced his decision: “The defendant is remanded to county jail to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence. This order is forthwith.”

Hilton screamed.

Eight deputies immediately ordered all spectators out of the courtroom. Hilton’s mother, Kathy, threw her arms around her husband, Rick, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Deputies escorted Hilton out of the room, holding each of her arms as she looked back.

Give. Me. A. Fucking. Break.

This is obscene. We have a lawless and barely sane president, a hopeless war in which American soldiers and innocent Iraqis die daily, condone torture, hold people without charge or trial, a viciously repressive Right who would utterly demolish the constitution in favor of a religious totalitarian surveillance state, oil companies fleecing the public for billions and this, THIS FUCKING SPOILED BRAT is commanding our national attention?

Her attorneys should be summarily disbarred for having no fucking clue about anything. There's some rumor that they plan to file a fucking writ of habeas corpus. How much fucking nerve can people have, that they think their money truly should mean that they are above the law.

If this had been a poor black kid in Atlanta, or, for that matter, ME, well, never mind, the double standard is just too fucking glaring to need more elucidation.

She should be getting extra days for each fucking ridiculous outburst she makes. You don't get out of jail because it sucks in there, that's the fucking point. And get her off the road, forever, she's lost that "right" in my book.

Every time I think we've hit bottom in this country I realize how wrong I am. We're completely fucked from top to bottom. It's incredible we haven't already collapsed from our own obscenity.

no it takes a little time for that fire to spread, but I think we've all seen the high point in our civilization (no i am absolutely not calling paris hilton the high point) and the wave has been rolling back for some time now...hell, there was a point in time when mongolians ruled half the world...things change slowly but I think it's clear, we're on our way out...
