Once again, a celebrity catches a break in the courtroom. Less than two weeks after a California judge sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in county jail for violating her probation, both the amount of time and the place where she’ll be spending it have changed. Due to good behavior, her sentencing has been reduced to 23 days in a special unit designed for police officers, public officials, celebrities and high-profile prisoners.
Hilton’s mother said she hoped people who looked up to Paris could learn from this. Unfortunately, all many kids will learn is that you can indeed buy a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Well, I guess we now know that not only crime, but high-profile sluttiness pays!
or you can only do crime if you have the money to pay for it.
In this country, we get the best justice money can buy.
Let’s see; she posts videos of herself having sex on the internet, and she inherited a zillion bucks, and that makes her a celebrity? Used to be you had to have actually done something to become a celebrity. That’s certainly degenerated in recent years!Must be Bush’s fault, since he’s the one who publicly turned mediocrity into a virtue, mendacity into an art form and politics into warfare. Paris couldn’t have asked for a better role model!
Why, heck, Jed, she acted (sic) in a tv show and made a movie. That shuda make her a ’slebrity.
I jus aint figured outs how yall kin gets off fer gud behavior afore even gittin ta jail, tho. Ya figur there mite be anudder movie comin’ out bout dat?
She did? I sure missed that! Sooo glad I did.No doubt the new movie will be titled “Paris is in the Bastille, Not the Other Way Around.”
Maybe, “I see Paris in the slammer . . . sort of.”
“Paris Burns”?
Read Andie’s topic carefully, “…in a special unit designed for police officers, public officials, celebrities and high-profile prisoners.”
I’m so tired of the Martha Stewart mode of incarceration.
Of course, those who are the MOST unhappy about Paris getting a reduced sentence is all the male (or lezzie) wardens who wanted to frisk her daily.
And of all the categories listed above – the ones who should have the toughest sentences are the public officials and rogue cops – because those are the ones we entrust our laws and safety to…
Or at least we like to think we do.

Sorry for double post. Can’t figure out how that happened.
Paris, you go girl! Money, sex and power. Well, that’s what it’s all about, right?. God, I love this country!
At least she did the world a favor.. she proved you don’t have to be poor to be white trash.
Lezzie?
Hmmm, I wonder how the ever homophobic poster will spin that one? I certainly never heard anyone in my community use that word, so that is no excuse.
Between gs and her slurs and fleetie and his slurs against Tom, it would seem the WE blog only encourages gay bashing.
I’m sure they will come up with some version of “they did it too” or maybe “Bill Clinton! Bill Clinton!”
Those are fleetie and gs favorite excuses.
And they say kansas isnt filled with bible banging hicks…
And does anyone but me thing gs must have sex on her mind 24/7? Of COURSE it is all about wardens and employees wanting to have sex with Paris.
I guess if that is how you make your way in the world, that is how you see everything. And solve every problem. Shake your tail and it goes away?
Sounds to me like Paris and gs should be BFFs!
“Of course, those who are the MOST unhappy about Paris getting a reduced sentence is all the male (or lezzie) wardens who wanted to frisk her daily”
White trash indeed. Stereotyping. Cheap shots. Cheap thrills.
And as of now, this is the most posted topic on the thread. Kansans like to think we are sooooooo much better than others. You know, kansas salt of the earth vs. the eeee-vil hollywood.
And then we make this the most posted thread.
The sheeple never disappoint.
I think Andie Clum analyzed it properly. If one is a celebrity, you get special treatment and it sets a bad example for the youth that identify with her lifestyle.
Unfortunately, the youth following her lifestyle and actions will not get the same treatment and end up being placed in very unfortunate situations.
You are so right, Republican. Consider Oliver North and Adm. John Poindexter.
Both were convicted of lying to Congress and destroying documents to hide an illegal war run under the Reagan administration.
But then these convictions were overturned on a legal technicality.
North has his own talk show. Poindexter was hired by the Bush administration.
Then there’s G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate felon. Even though he did hard time for his crime, he’s now a CONservative talk show host.
So, you’re right, Republican. Look at all these high profile CONservatives that lie, cheat, and steal and totally get away with it.
A really bad example for our kids . . .
Like Bill Clinton having Sandy Burger steal documents from the National Archives..
Ok bg, just get it overwith now.
“Bill Clinton! Bill Clinton!”
I still say blaming Clinton should invoke some variation of Godwin.
oh, and bg?
Please post some backup fact that Berger did what he did at the direction of Bill Clinton.
Must be like cheney shot that old lawyer in the face at bush’s direction…
Way to go off topic yet once again Capn. That all you got? More drive-by drivel from the extreme left?
Stick to the topic Capn, you’re an irrelevant nose picking Liberal in love with communistic philosophy who post meaningless crap no one cares about.
Good Lord, farmie’s going off on her “I’m a victim,” thingy again…big surprise.
She whines like a little girl because I used the shortened version “lezzie,” instead of lesbian.
She obviously doesn’t know that’s the “in” term these days and is used by lezzies and straight folks.
For a little education on the topic – check out this About site, authored by a lezzie – who uses the term proudly.
http://lesbianlife.about.com/b/a/039825.htm
Get a life, farmie.
Would you like a little cheese with that whine?????
heheheheehh. So it’s been “in” since 2003? On one lesbian blog? heheheheheheh! Yes, I see how it’s been added to the lexicon.
Omg, too funny. I havent heard anyone use that term but bigots.
And please post where I claimed victimhood! I just pointed out the obvious. That you are a bigot and a homophobe. Spin away, but it doesnt change the fact.
You’ve been caught, once again, using bigoted and homophobic language and sexualizing yet another non-sexual topic.
Flame away. Your original post speaks for itself. The more you sputter and spin, the funnier it gets!
Poor little victim -
Here’s an idea, try calling
1-800-KissMyAss
OMG, I AM HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER!!!
Yes, heheheh. Please google “lezzie” and see what you get. Obviously that’s what gs did.
What is more telling? What she DIDNT link to from the “lezzie” google.
And I still see no reference to it being an “in” thing.
Except for porn and bigots.
OMG. Just too damn funny. You cant make this stuff up…
Whine, whine, whine……
Oh jeez, tooooooo funny!
Here is a little linky from that google “lezzie” search that gs DIDNT post.
I think that’s a lie by omission?
heheheheheheheheheh!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lezzie
Note, this link isnt for the faint hearted. But note the usages of the term “lezzie”.
Fits gs to a T!!!
I’m wondering ksfarmgrrl, are you are are you not a Lesbian? If so, why do you find the term offensive?
You’ve used it or a variation of it several times yourself.
Are you using the “NHH” philosophy spurted out by Imus and commented on by Sharpton – that only people of the same ilk can say those names?
I’m offended that using frisking as a sexual term could be applied to any of the corrections officers or police officers. They’re professionals. That’s like saying nurses get off by giving baths or putting in catheters….why not suggest that your OBGYN does his job simply for the cooter shots? Or daycare providers are just pedophiles who want to change diapers..
Get my drift?
Republican, it’s obvious that farmie hates her sexuality.
She zeroed in on the word I used earlier – which had NO reference to her in particular and she started wetting her Depends.
Sounds like a clear-cut case of self-hatred.
Not that I blame her for that.
“I’m offended that using frisking as a sexual term could be applied to any of the corrections officers or police officers. They’re professionals.”————
So…they don’t notice sex symbols like Paris?
ROFLMAO
Do they suddenly become nuns when they walk in?
BTW – did you ever read about the cop fired in Colorado for sticking his fingers in the woman’s vagina when he was ‘frisking’ her?
You are both so stupid it boggles the mind.
Yes I am a lesbian. Yes, I find the term “lezzie” offensive. Especially when it is used to invoke the sexual preditor image.
Please post where I have used the term lezzie or any term derogatory to lesbians. Please post any “self hating” comments.
Jesus wept. Cover one lie with another? Typical bush loving repukes.
“that only people of the same ilk can say those names?”
Uh repuke, please post where I said that. Nice try on the straw man.
Bigotry is as bigotry does. You’ve been caught and hung out to dry. Deal with it.
whine, whine, whine….
“when he was ‘frisking’ her?”
Key word, HE !!!!!!
Just a drive by trashing by association with the “lezzies”.
So… if that “incident” (please provide a link or some proof) tars cops and lesbians…
… does the Haditha incident tar your precious military?
The hypocrisy is breath taking. And when caught red handed, gs will do ANYTHING to squirm out of it.
Ruthless to be impeccable?
The more you spin, the more desperate you look. Give it up. We already saw all your posts.
Typical gs. No answer. Just “whine whine whine”.
Please post where I whined. Please answer my questions above.
Whine, whine, whine…..
ONE incident…ONE! In how many Thousands of police officers!
Doesn’t matter, PM – all it takes is ONE bad apple to spoil the bunch.
That makes my assessment correct and your defense incorrect.
Sorry.
Well hell I guess that eliminates the human race and any profession out there.
I know more con construction folks than bad police officers…so you know what that means. I’ll even bet a few are rapists.
Hey, I’m first in line to denounce bad contractors – you won’t find me sticking up for them, like you do rogue policemen.
Hop on over to the “Open” thread. Farmie is trashing all Christians by the acts of a few.
You’ll probably want to defend them like you do cops.
Won’t you?
When ever have I defended rogue policemen? EVER????
Yeah PM, read the thread. NO WHERE did I say all christians are bad.
So.. if one bad cop makes all cops bad, I guess one murdering soldier makes all soldiers bad?
Jesus wept. She cant even apply her own “standards” to herself.
Reminds me of the kid who covers their eyes and says “you cant see me”.
“Doesn’t matter, PM – all it takes is ONE bad apple to spoil the bunch.”
…and one rogue contractor makes all contactors bad?
Big eye roll.
Pmom, not trying to pick a fight here, but did you see my comments at the end of this thread?
http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2007/05/greensburg_like.html#comments
I’m just wondering what your response is. You can email me if you dont want to talk about it on the blog.
The problem with lezzies is it takes away from the number of gals available to tap. Otherwise I have no problem with them. Oh ya and they are a drain on the welfare system.
Widwio,I’ve known a lot of lesbians, and not one was on welfare. Ever!As far as reducing the number of women available to men, isn’t that offset by the gay men who aren’t available to women? Besides, I’d guess from your attitude you couldn’t find one no matter how many were “on tap.”
Anybody that looks up to that filthy whore will hopefully catch HIV and exit the world before they can further pollute the gene pool!
money talks, bullshit walks. Is America great or what?
Calm down Kev, she’s a pathetic, spoiled, sex-obsessed rich girl, not the biblical whore of babylon!
Calm down Kev, she’s a pathetic, spoiled, sex-obsessed rich girl, not the biblical whore of babylon!
Okay, she MAY be the whore of Babylon – but let’s face it guys, she’s still better than Rosie.
Rosie’s like a mean, ugly, salivating bulldog that snaps at your ankles and when you try to kick her away, she grabs on and tries to hump your leg.
At least Rosie has been generous and shared her wealth and success with others, even adopting children….what has Paris ever done to help anyone?
“Hilton’s mother said she hoped people who looked up to Paris could learn from this.”
Who “looks up to her” and why?
GS,Did Rosie bite your leg? Maybe you shouldn’t have been kicking her! She’s been quite decent to me.
I think it’s pretty clear why gs hates Rosie. She’s a con who just spouts the party line, and right now the republican party line is “Rosie is bad”.
Oh yea, and Rosie is gay. And we all know how gs hates gay people…
Farmie – are you starting out this fine morning on that ‘gay victim’ thingy again? Lighten up.
Learn to accept yourself for what you are – and you’ll likely find a lot of that rage disipating.
BTW – JM used the word, “lesbo” yesterday.
Just thought you would want to know. So you could set him straight, and all.
Mary – I don’t like Paris – I think she’s trashy, shallow, and a disgrace to women. I just said she was better than Rosie – that’s all. Even a slug is better than Rosie.
Just how is she better than Rosie? I want examples.I agree, Rosie goes too far sometimes..but I respect her from way back when she was just a stand up comedian. She took on Woody Allen when she was told it could ruin her career, she has always stood up for what she believes to be right, not matter the consequences to her or her work.I’d hang out with her anyday. I think she’s funny, gutsy, and has conviction. All traits that I admire in someone, even if I don’t agree with everything they say or believe.
And when was the question ever about Paris Hilton being better than Rosie?
For being such a good little Republican, GS certainly seems to know all there is to know about Paris Hilton. But, then again, Paris is rich and that is the main requirement for being a true Republican – money.
