All Paris, all the Time....

Please explain to me with OBL meeting with the next group of 9/11 attackers, the war in Iraq, starving people all over the world, hurricanes out in the Atlantic, hell, even day 1 of the NFL regular season starting today and a no-hitter last nite in Florida, you know what gets top billing in the news today? PARIS HILTON'S DUI!!!!!! I googled the topic this afternoon and got 26 hits about the incident from all over the world - 26! What has this world come to? Will someone in the press please get some perspective on life?

And get this folks, here's her explanation:

"I had one margarita, and I was starving 'cause I had not ate all day. I was on my way to In-N-Out, which is probably three blocks away, and I'm in my (Mercedes) SLR, which is a little fast, so maybe I was speeding a little bit and I got pulled over."

I guess that expensive high school diploma from private school doesn't necessarily guarantee proper grammar structure. And if you believe she only had one margarita you'll also believe Brittany Spears held out with Justin Timberlake until they moved in together. Paris has been partying since she was weaned from her mother's breast milk and she probably has the tolerance of a heavyweight boxer and could drink him under the table in the blink of an eye.

Shame on the news outlets today - they blew it. Rupert Murdoch, I am truly surprised. But I'll bet Ms. Couric bumps Rush tonite for an "exclusive" to see how Paris is holding up in the midst of the event and link it to how she's probably overworking herself and on the verge of anorexia and how Hollywood is too thin and putting pressure on their actresses, blah, blah, blah. In short, developing the story to the point where female eating disorders are creating a national crisis - it will be the opening segment in the "CBS Evening Magazine with Katie Couric".
