If the media wanted to distract you with Paris, it's working

[DemGa]

Personally I don't care about her story all that much. She was born ridiculously wealthy--big deal. She's spoiled and her little world is shattered and people cheer!! My point is this is the corporate media at work.

2. It actually is a big deal, and the progressives will probably miss out because of our snobbiness

How's about we all call Congress and ask them to schedule a vote on reinstating the Estate Tax? Call it the "Paris Hilton Work Ethic Act".

3. I'll say it's working. nt

4. At the same time, this is yet another symptom of the Bush administration

This is exactly how the Bush regime treats the rich and powerful who supported their "election" campaigns. They are transforming us into a nation ruled not by law, but by personal whim. And the Paris Hilton affair is yet another symptom of the root cause.

5. You know what?

I care so much about those stupidities than I don't even know what happened to her.

6. Paris Hilton™ is an effective distraction.
