Interesting to learn about. Remember Martha Stewart? her case was interesting too. <BR/> What Yves said about America being a circus of the absurd is true LOL especially when it comes to celebrities.Kathy Trejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320525571609595412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-77600798663590707502007-06-13T12:10:00.000-05:002007-06-13T12:10:00.000-05:00Kathy, yes, I'm not perfect either, which is why I...Kathy, yes, I'm not perfect either, which is why I look at Paris with some sympathy. For a spoiled brat like her, going to jail has to be much more traumatic than for many people. She's really suffering. But as you say, she earned the suffering and justice requires that she pay a fit penalty. <BR/><BR/>I guess you know the saying among criminals, "If you can't do the time, dont' do the crime."Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-57098685337258579072007-06-13T11:55:00.000-05:002007-06-13T11:55:00.000-05:00I don't know what to say about Paris. once I was y...I don't know what to say about Paris. once I was young and did lots of stupid things too...including breaking the law.

She deserves the jail term because her violations were so flagrant and arrogant. <BR/><BR/>One of the more noble justifications for imprisonment is that it's supposed to teach lessons, reform people, and set them on the rigth path. I hope it works in this case. I think Paris will think more than twice before she sits down again at the wheel of a car without a license.Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-89405466347168531352007-06-10T08:49:00.000-05:002007-06-10T08:49:00.000-05:00ok, whether it is bad nurture or not, she has to l...ok, whether it is bad nurture or not, she has to learn her lesson.

I don't want to distract from the poetry of your remarks with my own comments, but of course I will anyway.<BR/><BR/>As for knowing the woman, I had no interest whatsoever in her or her father (or much knowledge of them) until she was sentenced to jail. I had classified her vaguely as one of the Hollywood whores who are given an incredible amount of television attention in this demented country and made into "celebrities" for no reason. <BR/><BR/>But now I feel some sympathy for her -- although not for her unforgiveable series of violations of probation. She strikes me as more of a spoiled brat than a person of ill will, or someone who is just plain stupid. And she has worked to accomplish some things (silly things, admittedly) rather than just resting on her family's money. I sense good nature but bad nurture . . . which is why I imagine her at a crucial point in the development of her character and values.Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-85703560394701888242007-06-10T07:53:00.000-05:002007-06-10T07:53:00.000-05:00Zoey, better luck with a cellmate next time.

I've seen a picture of you behind bars for committing cat crimes, but you're going to have to commit some in LA if you want to share bunks with Paris Hilton.<BR/><BR/>About your bail question, I don't have the means to know the answer. We're talking about law on the county level in a state whose laws I haven't studied. Normally the filing of an appeal does not result in the convicted person being released until the appeal is decided . . . but the trial judge and the appellate court may each have the ability to grant a motion for release on bail pending an appellate decision. In Libby's case I believe the judge said that Libby's chances of reversal on appeal were so slim that no such bail would be granted. But Libby's in Federal court, which is a different game.Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-35725431040465029992007-06-10T00:58:00.000-05:002007-06-10T00:58:00.000-05:00Well, Fleming!

I am glad to see your confession but detect no sign of remorse or repentance within it.<BR/><BR/>Will anyone get to know the woman through all this publicity? I think the media shape things to tickle the palates of their audience, and something gets lost in the process.<BR/><BR/>I knew her father a little: I mean I read his autobiography, thoughtfully supplied free along with the Gideon Bible in one of the hotels which bears Conrad Hilton's surname.<BR/><BR/>I pity them both but cannot find time in my almost empty schedule to pursue the topic as you have done. As to the questions you raise, they have no bite over here, at least on me, because I see America as a circus of the absurd from which I have no expectation in the first place, so what happens cannot cause any frisson of shock or surprise.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-69087796540499674362007-06-09T16:12:00.000-05:002007-06-09T16:12:00.000-05:00Well Fleming, I volunteered to be her cellmate but...Well Fleming, I volunteered to be her cellmate but they turned me down. Hey, LA, the city who can't prosecute OJ in a murder trial now really has something to hang their hat on --- Paris Hilton. The whole thing is a joke. My question is: If her attorney appeals yesterdays order does she get out on bail till the hearing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
