Fly, Paris, Fly!
Cartoonist Daryl Cagle employs the "Get Out of Jail Free" theme that appears in today's editorial.
Yet as the world watches an international-celebrity story, the backdrop is one of L.A. politics. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo is actually the unsung hero in this saga. It is he who filed the petition leading to today's hearing, in which Paris may be sent back to jail. Not only that, Rocky is demanding that another L.A. pol -- Sheriff Lee Baca -- explain why he isn't in contempt of court for violating the judge's orders to keep Paris behind bars.
Who would have thought we'd see the day when one L.A. politician holds another accountable?
But I must admit that I'm starting to feel sorry for Hilton. The picture of her sobbing in the back of the police cruiser is just sad. The trappings of the celebrity lifestyle, the false gods of wealth and fame, must seem rather empty right now.
Maybe we can all learn something from this pathetic ordeal.
UPDATE: Judge send Paris back to jail.
