Video: The most important news ever
posted at 2:45 pm on June 26, 2007 by Allahpundit
I’m giving up the hard news. It’s too depressing. This is my beat from now on.
You can’t possibly begin to appreciate this clip without the audio commentary, so those at work should take whatever measures necessary to enable sound. It’s simply not the same without it.
After you watch, I want you to look in these eyes — and feel her pain.
Can you feel it?
Update: Remember when she told Barbara she was a changed woman, and much more spiritual now?
Apparently, it’s a process.

Meh…who really cares?
If the people of this country paid as much attention to the goings on in Washington as they do Paris Hilton, then I think things would be very different.
What was that about panem et circenses again?
Pulchritudinous Patriot on June 26, 2007 at 2:49 PM
I feel something…
I think its nausea.
nailinmyeye on June 26, 2007 at 2:51 PM
Why on earth do you think that? Talk radio and blogs have been screaming for a month about the amnesty bill and they rammed it sideways today with 64 votes. Paying attention doesn’t help. They don’t care what their constituents think.
Allahpundit on June 26, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Yeah, Fox News is beoming a bit of a joke with all the time they’ve spent on this stupid story and ANS. This “media event” is quite telling. I’m just so glad that she’s back with Kathy & Rick & heading to some fabulous home/sarc off.
Catie96706 on June 26, 2007 at 2:53 PM
You know, this is just… forget it. Not worth my time.
ophelia on June 26, 2007 at 2:53 PM
That “model-like walk” is all the more impressive when you consider she still had a shank keister-stashed.
Blacklake on June 26, 2007 at 2:54 PM
AP, yes, but perhaps if the people paid more attention to the candidates running, then come primary time we could elect some true Americans to office.
I never miss a primary vote!
Pulchritudinous Patriot on June 26, 2007 at 2:57 PM
A shy, humble Paris emerged?
No, I think even she was struck by how completely ridiculous it is for there to be such a mob awaiting her release. I think the Paris Hilton Amnesty events have had a bigger draw than even the Illegal Alien Amnesty events in that area.
taznar on June 26, 2007 at 2:59 PM
mmm…..tasty sugary fluff…thanks Allah
Willy on June 26, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Sometimes Fox news is such a disappointment.
I guess Paris went from being an illegal to a legal, like, you know, so, overnight. Like, Wow !
stenwin77 on June 26, 2007 at 3:02 PM
Good call. If I didn’t pay so much attention to the news, I probably wouldn’t have this costly drug habit.
Oh, who am I kidding?
Enrique on June 26, 2007 at 3:02 PM
Okay…seriously…why is she given so much as a second’s glimpse on this site? This is non-news. She’s spoiled, she’s wacky, and 90% of us guys would hit it in a minute. Not a news flash.
MadisonConservative on June 26, 2007 at 3:02 PM
MAN! I don’t care!
With all of the newsworthy events happening around the world how does a spoiled brat tramp warrant ANY attention at all?!
I was telling my wife yesterday that I have given up on Fox News… All but Brit Hume. “I’ll get my news from now on from the web at sites like Hot Air.” I
And now this. *Sigh*
Swinehound on June 26, 2007 at 3:04 PM
That’s why presidential turnout is like 30% each cycle.
lorien1973 on June 26, 2007 at 3:05 PM
Looks like Rosie is rearing her own little terrorist.
LakeRuins on June 26, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Wow. I think I’m going to go puke. She dots her “I”s with hearts?
amerpundit on June 26, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Satisfied to be among the 10%, thankyouverymuch. Did not click on the video, don’t care. Only looked at the thread to see what humor AP brought.
Freelancer on June 26, 2007 at 3:07 PM
Thank God she is free…tears came to my eyes as I had seen her walk to freedom, still holding her head high, demanding the attention that a person of her stature so deserves. Yes, justice was served, and we were at the dinner table, tasting the dessert of life–Paris Hilton. Rejoice, she is free, she is free, thank God Almighty she is free. And we are better for it, now she can go forth and help the world balance itself. And quite fetching in her new outfit.
Now we can get back to the mundane,everyday boring subjects…war in Iraq, borderless borders, you know, unimportant things.
right2bright on June 26, 2007 at 3:07 PM
Through the miracle of technology, you’re now able to not read the posts you don’t care about. Just don’t click the headline!
It’s like magic.
Allahpundit on June 26, 2007 at 3:09 PM
right2bright,
Here! Here!
Swinehound on June 26, 2007 at 3:10 PM
She must have used a ruler to draw those lines. So straight!
marc@hubsandspokes on June 26, 2007 at 3:10 PM
This from the guy who uncoved The Oil for Food Scandal?
- The Cat
MirCat on June 26, 2007 at 3:11 PM
Thanks Allah,
I just couldn’t believe my eyes. If I were a cat I guess I would be dead.
Swinehound on June 26, 2007 at 3:12 PM
Paris set free? There’s a bad joke about the WW2 Germans being kicked out (of the capital of France) in there somewhere. Never mind, all the attention she gets is a bad enough joke as it is.
Bigfoot on June 26, 2007 at 3:16 PM
Paris who? The real news is Nancy Grace got married in April and is preggers with twins! (via TMZ.com)
KelliD on June 26, 2007 at 3:16 PM
AP, you’re due another well-deserved raise.
Enrique, you’re adopted, in the best of conditions, I remind you again :)
Entelechy on June 26, 2007 at 3:19 PM
And we’re thinking the ME is fucked up? This is sick. Bomb us now. I’m out.
Drum on June 26, 2007 at 3:21 PM
You should have heard this guy reporting last night at 7 p.m. EDT. I’m 99.9% sure he was being sarcastic, but he said, “My Dad was at the liberation of Paris in 1944 and I have no doubt he would be proud of me today as I stand here, about to witness the liberation of a different Paris.”
The Hort on June 26, 2007 at 3:23 PM
And we think the ME is f-ed up? We presume to know what’s best for them? Gimme a break. This is sick.
Drum on June 26, 2007 at 3:23 PM
I think that note was a coded message to Sisterhood on the “outside” that she was out of lip gloss.
News is a business. People can’t get enough of celebrity train-wrecks. Sponsors pay for eyeballs. Celebrity train-wrecks therefore become the news. That’s life.
Like AP says: if you don’t like the story, don’t click the link.
jdpaz on June 26, 2007 at 3:26 PM
Her handwriting cracks me up. Even apart from the hearts, she writes like an 11-year-old. But, at least she can spell. That’s sort of a nice surprise.
Note to self: Stay away from 90% of guys. Can they even identify all of the venereal diseases she has?
Tanya on June 26, 2007 at 3:27 PM
OMG, that’s hot!/
Malpaso on June 26, 2007 at 3:32 PM
I was actually awake when they broke live for this “event.” The guy I really felt sorry for was Jonathan Hunt, who was stuck covering it.
photom on June 26, 2007 at 3:33 PM
Son-of-Grace? in stereo?
I think that it is time to join nailinmyeye. Is there room along side you for me to bow down to the porcelain god?

CyberCipher on June 26, 2007 at 3:38 PM
Thanks AP, my ears are now bleeding all over my desk….
heatherrc77 on June 26, 2007 at 3:42 PM
*choking back tears* It feels just like I signed my divorce papers all over again. Thanks allah. That was beautiful.
Mojave Mark on June 26, 2007 at 3:44 PM
Putting the Paris coverage on top of O’Reilly’s fluff pieces I may never be able to watch Fox news again.
I’m thankful this was a midnight so I didn’t inadvertently surf into it.
Ann on June 26, 2007 at 3:46 PM
Hell. I’m proud to be in the 10%. I wouldn’t touch Paris with a , well, I just wouldn’t touch Paris! Can I say skank?
Guardian on June 26, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Wow – even her cartoon eyes make her appear drunk. Looks like she really captured the mood.
thedecider on June 26, 2007 at 3:56 PM
The narcissist is free. Now our lives can go on. The coverage of this worthless person is an indictment of this country’s media. The freakshow in California is to be mainstreamed by the media, and that is by design. What’s important is to be obfuscated. And that is how Socialism can prevail. Football, beer, Paris Hilton and video of a car chase in L.A. – now, that is important! But the People being rendered irrelevant by the Beltway Bastards – yawn. And so it goes.
OhEssYouCowboys on June 26, 2007 at 3:57 PM
Cheer up. Now we got a dead wrestler who killed his family. I will bet that is at least as good as a dead pregnant woman in Ohio.
LakeRuins on June 26, 2007 at 4:02 PM
There hasn’t been a travesty of Justice like this since MTV VJ Kennedy walked through the kitchen of LA’s Ambassador Hotel and nobody shot her…
mojo on June 26, 2007 at 4:05 PM
I like her. And I know Allahpundit is also sweet on her. AP, were you not an avid fan of The Simple Life?
Blake on June 26, 2007 at 4:09 PM
So I can end my hunger strike now?
I can retire the skinny, frayed, meth-soaked ribbon?
great. NOW what am I gonna do to pass the time?
(Lind..say! Lind…say! Lind…say!)
sulla on June 26, 2007 at 4:12 PM
Yeah – don’t forget the Lady in the Lake as foxnews.com likes to call her.
thedecider on June 26, 2007 at 4:13 PM
Paris has been liberated! Have there ever been more happier words? Now we don’t need to storm the Century Regional Detention Facility like the French stormed the Bastille to free the prisoners of an unjust regime! Paris is free! And really, in a larger sense, doesn’t that make us all freer?
The Greatest Generation had Pearl Harbor as the day they would never forget. The Baby Boomers will never forget the day JFK was assassinated. Now, Generation Y will never forget the day Paris walked out of jail, her head held high, her prison jumpsuit making orange the New Black.
We’re witnessing history, my friends. History!
Tantor on June 26, 2007 at 4:25 PM
Bigfoot,
This time, there was no shade to march in.
Pablo on June 26, 2007 at 4:27 PM
That was a Nicole Ritchie jones, IIRC.
Pablo on June 26, 2007 at 4:28 PM
Ah yes, that will help fill that hour of Greta and Geraldo’s hard hitting news.
right2bright on June 26, 2007 at 4:31 PM
Are you implying Allahpundit likes brown sugar?
Blake on June 26, 2007 at 4:33 PM
I couldn’t help but notice the juxtaposition of Paris’ release and the running ticker about Juma Gal, the young boy who thwarted the Taliban’s effort to use him as a human bomb. We Americans do have our priorities straight, don’t we?
Nolamom67 on June 26, 2007 at 4:35 PM
She’s just doing the drunk driving the criminal aliens wouldn’t do.
Alden Pyle on June 26, 2007 at 4:44 PM
12:01am – Credit for a whole day. I bet I wouldn’t get such a break. Wait a minute, I don’t drink and drive.
NEVERMIND
On-my-soap-box on June 26, 2007 at 4:51 PM
Just as RedEye ended last night on came the News Alert. Yeah that was such an important story to cover. I turned off the TV missed the whole circus.
calgrammy on June 26, 2007 at 5:23 PM
So last night I finished watching Redeye. Then breaking news on Fox. I watched the strut from the door, the Escalade Parade for about 45 minutes. Then I felt very ashamed. Turned off the TV. Insomnia didn’t go away, but refused to tune back in.
PowWow on June 26, 2007 at 5:24 PM
Heck, if she can stay out of life’s cat-house it would be a huge improvement.
smellthecoffee on June 26, 2007 at 6:05 PM
It’s nice to be back….I think. My winter nap is over(thanks to Gorebal Warming)….and I see the spoiled brats are still in charge of our government. But seeing that the lovely and brilliant, and multi-talented, Paris is now free gives me new hope. The wild orgy that was the media coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and Paris-ite Hilton has led me to some numbing realities about our nation. You can tax us into poverty and economic oblivion. You can allow a foreign invasion in the form of illegal immigration. You can say that the war on terror is a “bumper-sticker”. You can waste every damn dollar you take from us. You can slowly but surely take our right to bear arms(or arm bears). You can do all of this and more, with but a whimper from some of us…hardly a peep. But the blood-shed that would ensue if a Fed showed up at our doors to confiscate our universal remote controls….it would make Iraq look like a pajama party. Yeah, we may not be able to point out Afghanistan on a map, but we know who the American Idol is. We may not know who the mayor of our town is but we know who is left on dancing with the stars…
I don’t know why I bothered to wake up…..
ritethinker on June 26, 2007 at 6:09 PM
No thanks. Not with 2 bags on her head and one on mine, should hers fall off.
BadgerHawk on June 26, 2007 at 6:19 PM
My Louis Vuitton flag can now go back to full staff!
(If there is such a thing, burn it immediately and stomp on the ashes.)
profitsbeard on June 26, 2007 at 6:24 PM
Is it normal procedure that inmates are released at 12:01 AM on their release date?
Is it more likely that when average Joe Inmate’s release date arrives they start processing the paperwork sometime after 8 or 9AM when the office shift shows up to work, then if average Joe is lucky they cut him loose some time that afternoon?
Am I cynical to suspect there must have been some degree of “special” treatment involved for Paris to have had her paperwork done and be out the door just one minute into the final day of her sentence?
Bob Mc on June 26, 2007 at 7:04 PM
Somebody actually hit that? Actually, maybe that’s not so surprising…but married it? Can you imagine what the arguments will be like? I’d rather saw off a toe with a butter knife.
Blacklake on June 26, 2007 at 7:58 PM
The MSM should have gone ahead and put all of there attention on Miss. Paris does not look as good without the makeup and hair extension Hilton. This would have been better news than what the Senate did today.
American8298 on June 26, 2007 at 10:44 PM
No shit? I dislike that loud mouth Nancy Grace
American8298 on June 26, 2007 at 10:47 PM
