More like, her PR flunkies have finally pulled their heads out of their asses and belatedly tried to reverse the spin on this whole ball of wax. Pity they had to (implicitly but IMO offensively) equate concern about our armed forces in the field with media hoopla over their spoiled little brat client.

That’s pretty harsh. Paris’ flacks haven’t been nearly as craven as Scooter Libby’s cheerleaders:
Fallen Soldier
Mr. President, do not leave this man behind.

Oh fuck. The only reason I’m leaving this be is that our esteemed Biggirl has already chimed in perfectly. I’ve met her. I’d say it was (B)ig of her not to eviscerate you, you putz.
This was truly offensive. Asshole.

In lowbrass’s defense, I am a big girl and he’s never met me. Plus, I did catch him not at his best on camera. That really was you, wasn’t it lowbrass.
[QUOTE=lowbrass]
Fuck you. I ignored nothing, and I provided a quote from an expert that was published in a reputable newspaper.
[/QUOTE]
A quote that actually proved very little. At best it proved that Paris is getting standard treatment from a judge that has been less than happy with the Sherriffs high turnover rate.
As far as proof of preferential treatment, we have Baca recieving a campaign contribution from Paris’ grandfather, his attempted sanitizing of Mel Gibsons arrest record (history of preferential treatment towards celebrity backers), and the fact that he released Paris for “medical reasons” that were never actually backed up in court, something that is required for an early release of that type.
From your side, we have a plethora of tv experts (always trustworthy) paired with requests to turn on ones tv, one kind of cite, and an insult backed with implications of jealousy. Way to make a case there Matlock.

Waitasec, I thought we were talking about Paris Hilton… 
Does anyone else think she looks like an opossum? Seriously. Look at her face. Opossums are really cute, especially when they’re young. But I wouldn’t want to have sex with one.
Id’ say more vulpine. And not in a good way.

As much as I hate to disagree with you, I agree with Johnny L.A. now that it is pointed out. Definitely 'possum.

Apos, I did not say her treatment was “especially harsh”, I only offered the fact that it’s harsher than that received by an average person, and then only to counter the ALREADY MADE assertion that she was getting better than average treatment.
[/QUOTE]
Would it be fair to say she almost got better than average treatment, but this pissed off a judge and now she’s getting somewhat worse treatment as a result? She almost went home under clearly shady circumstances. The judge got wind of it, probably because she’s so famous and so many people were watching, and consequently, he decided to put the hammer down on the shenanigans for good. The question is, is it fair that she’s now getting a less forgiving sentence? Well, if strings were pulled and money/influence used to get her special treatment, then I think she deserves comeuppance for that; she has definitely displayed scorn for the process of justice and this is a fair response, if her early release to home is yet another example of that attitude. Will that ever be established for certain? I don’t know. I don’t care. But for those who do, would you feel differently about her so-called “harsh” treatment if it were proven that strings were pulled to get her released?

Don’t be a moron. It doesn’t matter if you were responding to someone else. You still need to back up your own claims. Your excuse for not doing so seems to be that you exaggerated because you got angry at what someone else said and now can’t back it up..

Don’t knock it if you hadn’t tried it. Marsupials have three vaginas.

That was an exceedingly dickish thing to say. Shame on you.
And besides, Paris is ugly as sin. She didn’t used to be. I once saw a picture of her long before she became anorexically thin and dyed her hair bleach blonde. She was actually very cute. Those days are long gone. But, she’ll always have her money. There is that.

I’m going to have nightmares about marsupials with Paris Hilton’s face, with three herpes-ravaged vaginas. Thanks a whole fucking lot!

As I said in another thread, the real special treatment she gets is that no one ever checks her little gold pocketbook when she gets pulled over.
[/QUOTE]
What’s in her pocketbook?
Just a wag, but maybe powdered nasal inhalants?
Bingo.
People, people!
Paris Hilton does not look like a possum. What a horrible thing to say. I mean, I’d expect better from the intelligent, mature members of this bored.
Clearly, she looks like an ostrich.
Though, I will agree that her herpes probably look like this. (perfectly sfw work. . . unless you work in a strictly anti-possum work place. In which case, you should talk to the state discrimination board).
[QUOTE=lowbrass]
If you have some hard evidence that proves she was seperated from the general population just to be nice to her or because she bribed someone, please share it. First, you make an assumption that she’s being held in isolation for some reasons other than pragmatic ones, then you castigate me for not addressing this, then when I point out that I did offer another possible explanation, you get bent out of shape about that. If you have some solid evidence, I’ll gladly concede the point. I haven’t seen any yet. Sometimes jails have to put certain people in protective custody for whatever reason. They do it for a reason. You can’t assume it’s just done as some kind of personal favor.
[/QUOTE]
You know, I’ve been wondering about this since the beginning of the story. How many times in this thread has it been pointed out that the jails in L.A. are horribly overcrowded? IIRC, it was mentioned earlier that 200,000 people had been let out early by this sheriff’s administration.
So why didn’t Paris have a cellmate? Are there no other celebrities in jail? Are there no other special cases that could have shared an 8x12 with her for a few days? Is there any possible reason other than special treatment that a bunk in an overcrowded jail went unoccupied just because the person in the other bunk is a celebrity?

So we’re just guessing? We don’t know whether her pocketbook is being searched or not? So this “special treatment” is only conjecture? Kind of lame.
