Paris and Scooter Are In the House

The Big House

Well, not anymore and not quite yet.

Paris Hilton was released today after doing three days hard time, due to an undisclosed “medical condition”. She will now be under house arrest for the next forty days in her 2700 square foot Hollywood Hills home. That’s not a sentence; it’s a party waiting to break out. This summer’s L.A. hotspot will be Club Paris.

And unless Scooter Libby scoots across the border, or our esteemed president abuses his pardon powers, it looks like he’ll be doing a 30 month stretch. I’m open to a deal where they let Scooter go but put his ex-boss away instead. Yes, that is unlikely. There were dozens of letters written on behalf of Scooter from the likes of Henry Kissinger and Paul Wolfowitz. With friends like that……… An impassioned Lawrence O’Donnell made an excellent point on Countdown Tuesday night, stating that nobody of that stature is writing letters for any soldiers being brought to court martial, which is happening in part because they’ve been put in an untenable situation by men of stature.
