People In Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Blond Bimbos In Jail

A Paris Hilton story isn't something I would normally run but this is far too good to pass over.

For, given the kind of month Rocky Delgadillo’s been having, 23 days of no frills solitary sounds positively sublime.

And it’s proved an uncomfortable place. First came the news, just as Delgadillo was taking Sheriff Lee Baca to task for freeing Hilton from her sentence for driving on a suspended licence after just three days, that his wife, Michelle, had also been found driving on a suspended licence.

Her sentence? Certainly no jail time.

Nor did she get into any trouble when she borrowed Delgadillo’s city-owned SUV to pop to the doctor‘s in 2004 and crashed it by backing into a pole. She was not insured to drive the vehicle and her licence was suspended at the time.

But the 2,000 odd dollar repair bill was quietly paid for using taxpayers’ money.............

Whoops. Delgadillo is now the subject of two separate inquiries, one by the city's Ethics Commission, the other by the State Bar of California, which is understandably worried about what such apparent negligence says about the trustworthiness of its lawyers. more
