Okay, I promise I’m not going to say much about this topic, but I’m going back to the Paris Hilton thing. Explain to me why Paris goes to prison for 25 days for driving with a suspended license, and Scooter Libby tells national secrets and lies about it and gets a fine. He does get “supervised release,” too, but no one knows how to handle his “supervised release” because normally, it’s after a sentence is served. I’m sick of pardons. In my opinion, you get a pardon because you know SOMEONE. Fair? I don’t think so. You do the crime, you do the time, right? Isn’t that the conservative adage? I’m not picking sides because both sides cheat in these situations. Funny how it depends on who you’re talking about! Do you realize that the prosecutor’s wife in the Paris case drove on a suspended license and wrecked a state vehicle just a couple of years ago? Do you know how much time she did? The same amount as Scooter Libby! She didn’t even pay to have the vehicle repaired.
I’m done with this topic, but I am ready for a little fair play across the board! I’m even considering purchasing the T-shirt I saw at the mall. It had a little Paris-dog on it with cute, over-sized pink sunglasses. In big words across the front, it said, “Free Paris.” Seems to me that that would’ve been fair!
