i'm one of the first people to get on her soapbox when there is some sort of miscarriage of justice. really, i am. but i'm having a hard time feeling too much sympathy for paris in her latest publicity whore moment.
see, i know that it's wrong for someone to be punished more harshly because of who they are. i really do, but dammit, i also have to say that it's refreshing to see someone who is white, rich and famous actually have to take her punishment like anyone else would because newsflash: there are unfair sentences passed down every day across this country. it's one of the little 'glitches' in the legal system that we value so much. so, so sorry paris, that you get to be the whipping girl, but in the grand scheme of things 23 or 40 days is a damn sight better than a life sentence.
this is what happens when you try make your career out of being rich, famous, 'hot' and outrageous. you have to be prepared to pay for it. and she is. hopefully she'll come out of this or at least less visible.
