Just Duke - Mostly Tech Ponderings

So I'm going to try my best to get back to posting my "Idiot of the week". This week's award goes to:

Paris Hilton

After pleading no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving,  Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told CNN host Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis."

Hilton was arrested eariler this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing.

And then,late last night, she was arrested on the Las Vegas Strip after police saw a cloud of what they suspected was marijuana smoke wafting from the windows of a black Cadillac Escalade driven by her boyfriend, then found a small amount of cocaine in her possession.

Hilton's attorney, David Chesnoff, told The Associated Press on Saturday morning that he was still gathering facts about the arrest, but he went on to say, "But I caution people not to rush to judgment,"

Sorry Dave, you are too late . .  I've already made up my mind on this one! She's an idiot, but an idiot with money or you wouldn't be getting out of bed early on a Saturday morning to make such a stupid statement like that, would you? I'm wondering if the Coke wasn't for a multiple sclerosis victim, and she was on her way to deliver it, as soon as she did that fundraiser for the kids with Breast Cancer.

UPDATE: According to Ms. Hilton, it wasn't her Purse! But according to Witnesses, she was the only Female in the automobile at the time police pulled them over. And for the record, this is twice in two months, that she has been busted with Drugs, and her defense was that it wasn't her purse.
