Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Not bad. That is probably equal to my other favorite coverage of this foolishness so far:

Can you say “spoiled rich brat”? Paris’ problem is she’s been a lifetime member of the socioeconomic class that believes rules are for others and don’t apply to them. No doubt every member of the Hilton family thinks they can buy their way out of anything. Paris is proof that we need to raise inheritance tax rates.
Maybe the German cops should have rammed Paris instead of the Greenpeace boat. In any case, it’s time this young lady finds out that when a judge says “45 days” that means 45 days, not 72 1/2 hours. Don’t forget what she’s in for — repeated DUI offenses. The judge is doing this to change her attitude before she kills innocent people.

Let’s see how this repeats itself with Libby.
Note: While I sympathize with the Greenpeace organization’s broad goals, I can’t help but feel that driving a boat into a security zone around a meeting of world leaders is asking for use of force by the security forces. The cops, quite naturally, will assume the people in the Greenpeace boat may be terrorists disguised as protesters. Ramming the boat was a little rough, but opening fire on them with machineguns would have been rougher. I won’t criticize the German police for this one.
@4 Well, at least Bush is hesitating before he grants the pardon. That represents progress, however tiny. Yesterday’s announcement by Robert Gates that Gen. Pace would not be reappointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is not tiny, it’s huge — it shows the Loyal Opposition is having a real impact on the actions of this administration. That’s real progress.
Of course, if Bush does pardon Libby, that will make a flaming hypcrite of every Republican who demanded Bill Clinton’s head for perjury and obstruction. I suspect Rove may be whispering in Bush’s ear that Libby is expendable.
He is, of course. Expendable, I mean. Virtually every one of the administration’s lackeys can be discarded — or handed over to prosecutors — if necessary. When you work for a snake like Bush, Cheney, or Rove, the only way you can be sure they won’t offer you up as a human sacrifice to the gods of political expendience is if you’re Bush, Cheney, or Rove. And Rove probably insisted on getting a pre-signed, undated pardon as a condition of accepting employment, which is sitting in a safe deposit box somewhere!
The old Washington hands understand all of this, of course. That’s why they cut deals with prosecutors and squeal on their bosses. The ones who end up in prison are the greenies who don’t understand the ways of big-time politics or the stupid ones like Libby who foolishly assume that mere loyalty is enough to buy protection.
Libby was born a few centuries too late, and on the wrong continent. He would have been extremely successful as an Aztec captive, right up to the moment where they march him up the temple steps and cut his heart out.
Even Gonzo is expendable. Wait and see.
And it’s gonna get interesting when Gonzo figures out he’s next. It’ll sure be fun when HE starts singing!
Here’s a Rovian idea for you: Reward Libby by putting him and Paris in the same cell! Everybody’s happy, and there’ll be no messy fallout from a pardon! I’ll bet Rove has already thought of it.
And I say, after the 45 days are up, let both of them go! 45 days in a lockup with Paris is enough punishment for anyone.
Of course, they’ll have to de-louse both of them every other day …
Martha Stewart and now Paris Hilton. Wow! They really like to tweak the noses of the powerful!

“It is time for the American people to get off the defense and take the offense against corporate power, the way it was done in the consumer, environmental and worker areas from 1965 to 1975 and beyond, and move to new frontiers of subordinating the big corporations to the rights and necessities of real people.”
Paris Hilton is one of the PRODUCERS. heh…
thehim @ 4
TS at Instaputz already imagined it.
@16 Yeah. According to Redneck, a “producer” is someone who (a) doesn’t have to work and (b) doesn’t pay their gambling debts.
Carl and thehim,
You mean like this?
Now tht was a cute video……Well done!
She’ll have to take a long shower when she gets out of the brink..
I was just wondering what happened between her and the Prison Meister, that she got to walk….Hmmmmmmm
I just hope the judge never stays in a Hilton Inn again….
eh eh eh
