This Is a Great Day for America

The story isn’t Paris Hilton going back to jail. The story is that the news channels have been live with the story for over an hour. I just heard some Nancy Grace type on MSNBC shout “This is a Great Day in America.” Then the anchor twat turned and said, “Let’s find out what other celebrities are saying about this.”

Paris is just not that bad compared to these jackals.

I tried posting a similiar story over an hour ago but Frizzelle said that there was already enough about Paris on Slog today. I wish I could have called in sick so I could watch TV all day.

Um, yeah, she IS that bad. Bitch needs to serve out her paltry 23 day jail sentence. So Paris doesn't get a pillow in prison, boo fucking hoo.

Paris should serve out the entire 45 day sentance she was originally given. Unless, of course, rich white women are held to a lesser standard than the rest of us.

I'm away from the TV... wonder what Lindsay Lohan has to say about all this.

I think she is actually having to serve the full 45 days but I won't know until the TV tells me so.

I'm with ya FNARF! As much as seeing Paris cry warms my cold heart, i would get even MORE pleasure from seeing Nancy Grace carted off to the slammer.

Paris IS going to have to serve out the full 45 days IN JAIL proving once and for all that kharma does indeed exist.

This should help speed along Lindsay Lohan's rehab recovery.

The real story here are Paris's parents, and their obvious warped parenting skills.

I third that. The coverage of this story on the day that the plug is pulled on Pace (ie., the surge isn't working) is absurd. Watching her car on the way to jail on Faux News, you could feel the excitement that another OJ situation was on. It's easy news time again - just point, shoot and turn the old brain off.

In a perfect world Paris would be going to prison for stabbing Lindsay Lohan to death.

@14 - Els, as long as we're in this hypothetical "perfect world" of yours, can't we go for a murder-suicide?

Yes, I am tired of reading about it. But I can't get enough of her looking so puffy and shiny. Her face is like a rosy, glazed donut. Or perhaps an unhappy "Campbells Kid": http://members.tripod.com/~LindaDahl/Photos/camb1940s.jpg

Report: Secret CIA Prisons In Poland And Romania From 2003 To 2005

PARIS - The CIA ran secret prisons in Poland and Romania from 2003 to 2005 to interrogate al-Qaida suspects, a European investigator said Friday, detailing harsh treatment that included months of solitary confinement, shackling and sleep deprivation. A CIA spokesman called the report "biased and distorted."

Top terror suspects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah were held and interrogated in Poland, according to the report, which cited unidentified CIA sources. Mohammed is the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and Abu Zubaydah is a suspected senior al-Qaida operative.


MSNBC Cuts Away From Pentagon To Paris [Hilton]

With obvious yelling in the background, MSNBC cut away from an interview with Colonel Rick Francona on the Defense Secretary replacing the Joint Chiefs Chairman Peter Pace, to show Paris Hilton leaving her house in West Hollywood to attend court.

Why do we put up with this?

Levislade, much better idea! Though how about this?:

Paris goes on a killing spree, taking out Lindsay, Britney, Nicole, and any number of other annoying pop tarts. She gets the death penalty, has her head shaved, and her execution is shown on pay per view for only a dollar per household. It still manges to be the most profitable TV spectacle ever!

Now the good Reverend Al Sharpton is expounding on the subject. Good lord.

Nancy Grace doesn't belong in prison; she belongs in a rendering plant.

What's this connection between Paris and secret prisons in Poland and Romania about, anyway?

Off-topic:

Hey, Fnarf. Speaking of what a joke our free press is, Rudy Giuliani's press secretary had a reporter, Matt Lepacek, ejected from the post-GOP-debate press conference and arrested -- because the reporter was asking questions Giuliani's people didn't want to answer. Why don't you post about that to balance things out a bit?

1. It was announced in Paris.

2. Whenever there's especially heavy coverage by the American press of celebrity gossip, there's something that makes the U.S. government look bad being ignored.

About "her" alleged rash: didn't Hitler famously ask: "Brennt Paris?"

This is exactly why I can't stand watching CNN. It's hardly news anymore, kinda like how MTV stopped showing music videos.

And yes, they're all assbags. May they be first against the wall when the [insert apocalyptic fate of your choice] comes.

the thing about Schadenfreude is that you're supposed to be ASHAMED to feel it.

admit it: she looks like a human being who is suffering.

Oooh, boo hoo, Paris is going to jail. Fuck her. What America needs is less celebrity pandering and more class warfare.

She looks like a drunk Russian in that picture.

Bush is missing a golden opportunity. He could be flaying babies alive on the White House front lawn and nobody would pay attention as long as Paris Hilton is getting 24/7 coverage on all the news channels.

*rolls eyes*

This is exactly why I stopped watching TV.
