You want to know how screwed up this country is? Look at all the attention being paid to Paris Hilton, the celebrity socialite sentenced to jail for 45 days for violating her probation and driving ban after a drink-driving conviction. What Hilton is finding out here – and I don’t doubt Lindsay Lohan’s latest problems puts her in the same situation – is that being a celebrity – something Hilton has never hesitated for one freakin’ second to embrace – cuts both ways. The folks love you when you’re ridin’ high, but when you go down and expect different treatment BECAUSE you’re a celebrity, they’ll turn on you and eat you alive.

Here’s my problem with Paris Hilton and those like her: they contribute absolutely nothing to society – actually, in my book, they’re nothing but rich white trash that oughta be thrown out with the rest of the garbage. In Hilton’s case, she’s nothing but an empty-headed b*tch who stands for the absolute worst of American culture nowadays. And the fact that the cable networks cover her like they have when there are far more important things going on in the world, like this, and this, makes them equally reprehensible in my mind.

Payback’s a bitch, isn’t it Paris? Maybe it’s not exactly Christian for me to say, but I have no sympathy for your sorry ass. You can scream and cry all you want, but in my view, you deserve whatever you get. Maybe a few days in the cooler will make you realize that everything you stand for – a privileged publicity hound with nothing to show for but a reputation for late-night clubbing, papparazzi, champagne, and those oh-so-cute dogs you always seem to surround yourself with – puts you just above the trash I threw out last night. Time for a reality check, honey, and it couldn’t happen to a better person.

Let’s see how smug that smile looks in a couple of month’s time.
