From Paris Hilton to Peter Pace… And Back

Published June 8, 2007 in Media.

People. This is how your media operates now. Jesus. Paris Hilton is inconsequential. Peter Pace and his replacement affects all of our lives.

Guess which one the media is determined to cover?

Look, the media in this country is out of touch with average Americans. Paris Hilton will give them their ratings, but at the end of the day, viewers lose more respect for the news media in this country. You don’t earn respect by shoving trivialities down our throats.

As obnoxious as it is to keep hearing about Paris, I think this IS all part of the same ball of wax.

She’s a rich person who thinks the law doesn’t apply to her because she’s rich. Which, not to put too fine a point on it, is also pretty much the current governing philosophy of this nation. Paris is a useful idiot because she reminds us how badly broken our system is — ESPECIALLY now that the judicial system is part of the story.

That said…yeah, cutting away from Peter Pace to yammer more about this nonsense is just embarrassing and offensive.

Well, the Joint Chiefs thing just has me confused. Between those guys and the “War Czar” which one gets to usurp power from the other during hour 17 of “24″?

Meanwhile, the Paris thing isn’t confusing at all, it’s just sweet, fattening schadenfreude.

Both distract us from the real story, though, which is why we’re all racist for thinking Wesley Snipes should pay taxes or something:
