2.6 million views and counting. It’s part and parcel of Paris’s unstated contract with America: in return for recognition as de facto royalty, she’s forced occasionally to endure excruciating public humiliations to the great schadenfreudean glee of all who witness them. Be it Dave rubbing her face in her jailbird status, Sarah Silverman cracking jokes at the video music awards about her being a skank while the camera zooms in for a reaction shot, or the immortal weepy tableau in the back of that police car, she’s got to pay for her crown somehow. Enjoy as the latest bill comes due here.

I’m not much of a fan of Dave but I thought this was pretty darn amusing.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2007 at 6:43 PM
I have to agree with Ace on this one. Dave expects to get points by picking on a “borderline retard”? I’m not buying what he’s selling.
JasonG on October 2, 2007 at 6:45 PM
Can can? shouldn’t it be called Tramp, tramp???
doriangrey on October 2, 2007 at 6:46 PM
What’s he selling? He’s not trying to get points, he’s reveling in making her squirm. As is everyone who watches it.
Allahpundit on October 2, 2007 at 6:48 PM
I’ll have to agree with Ace, too.
Bad Candy on October 2, 2007 at 6:49 PM
TMZ.com material. This waste of skin is becoming regular material here. Along with the other useless skanks. I thought this was a serious site. Guess not. Does Michelle actually approve this type of crap on her site? I doubt it. If so, what a disappointment. This is “B-Roll” crap that Laura Ingraham rails against.
roninacreage on October 2, 2007 at 6:49 PM
Here’s an idea then. Why don’t you record Laura’s show and play it over and over again to yourself and skip the threads Allah puts up that offend you?
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2007 at 6:51 PM
roninacreage on October 2, 2007 at 6:49 PM
mostly we hang around for the cranky, self-righteous comments.
TexasDan on October 2, 2007 at 6:52 PM
Wish he would have treated Spiccoli this way, he is actually more deserving of derision and mockery.Paris has no effect really, Penn is a tool for thr enemy.
bbz123 on October 2, 2007 at 6:52 PM
Did someone put a gun to your head and force you to read the post? We do 20 serious posts a day and occasionally one like this, and you’re still complaining. If you’re so much of a robot that you can’t appreciate lighter material, try one of the many other conservative blogs where you won’t have to suffer such fools like the rest of us unserious people do.
Allahpundit on October 2, 2007 at 6:53 PM
Agreed. He sells smarm, which passes for intelligence and wit in some circles.
JiangxiDad on October 2, 2007 at 6:53 PM
More lips…more snooty lips!!
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 6:54 PM
Who said its a serious site?
-
Allah, I think what Jason is saying and what I think Ace is saying is its tedious and predictable, its pretending to be edgy.
Bad Candy on October 2, 2007 at 6:55 PM
Allahpundit,
more snooty lips….more snooty lips… pulease…
…..no threesomes…evah again.
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 6:56 PM
I disagree, in fact I think that’s what makes it entertaining. After all that talk about how she was ‘changed’, she didn’t want to talk about it post-LK. Clearly she didn’t think she was in for that on Dave’s show.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2007 at 6:57 PM
David Letterman blows.
NTWR on October 2, 2007 at 6:57 PM
I absolutely love it when people wonder if Michelle approves of what AP posts. Cripes, even the Corner posts pop culture stuff now and then.
Lighten up, Francis.
SouthernDem on October 2, 2007 at 6:58 PM
Dave, is a pathetic hack.
He is certainly no gentleman!
If he treated my wife or daughter that way I would want satisfaction.
TheSitRep on October 2, 2007 at 6:59 PM
In any case, it’s a well deserved hammering as opposed to pretending to care about her “career”.
And by hammering I mean verbal.
SouthernDem on October 2, 2007 at 7:00 PM
Heh.
Bad Candy on October 2, 2007 at 7:03 PM
Wrong again.
Stephen M on October 2, 2007 at 7:04 PM
Well, as far as I’m concerned, after this Dave head-bashing, she’s paid up now for the next 10 mins. Next bill due at 7:16pm ET.
tickleddragon on October 2, 2007 at 7:07 PM
Would that involve Dave peeing down his right leg or his left? Because you know thats about all he is capable of…Well that and laying on the ground whimpering like a 3 year old girl after you looked at him hard…
doriangrey on October 2, 2007 at 7:09 PM
Awwww….the women in your life been gettin out of jail free recently?
Cry me a little bottle of perfume water……
…….o.k. feel better now?
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 7:10 PM
…and YEAH…Lighten up, Francis.
tickleddragon on October 2, 2007 at 7:10 PM
It may not be literally everyone but it hasn’t gotten 2.6 million views because people feel so sorry for poor little Paris.
Allahpundit on October 2, 2007 at 7:14 PM
This girl is a walking viral infection.
mountainmanbob on October 2, 2007 at 7:19 PM
Why doesn’t Paris just tell Letterman to STFU??? I mean really, who is David Letterman that he speak contemptuously to Paris??? Or anyone else for that matter.
Actually, here’s two low-lifes that if they should ever fight, you’re hoping for mutually assured destruction.
Andy in Agoura Hills on October 2, 2007 at 7:21 PM
This girl is a walking
viral infectionPetri dish.Fixed it up for ya.
Andy in Agoura Hills on October 2, 2007 at 7:22 PM
Yeah, people need to lighten up, this isn’t serious. I don’t have an objection to the fluffy stuff, I just find the Letterman interview utterly predictable and dull, its too easy to verbally smack around a total moron like Paris.
Lets see him smack around a Tim Robbins or Sean Penn for their ham-handed, unforgivably stupid anti-American rhetoric and behavior, and he wouldn’t even have to do it from a right perspective, but a “I can’t believe you morons say this crap, you’re embarrassing us lefties” one. If he wants to entertain me, do something daring, skewer one of the Hollywood sets sacred cows.
Bad Candy on October 2, 2007 at 7:23 PM
Er, Robbins and Penn are of course both morons too, but they’re a different breed of moron than Paris.
Bad Candy on October 2, 2007 at 7:25 PM
There’s a war on, Allah.
Alex K on October 2, 2007 at 7:27 PM
Uh, someone who has not made various sex tapes, lied about taking drugs when there are pictures of him smoking a joint, been to jail, then expect everyone to suddenly take him seriously?
SouthernDem on October 2, 2007 at 7:29 PM
Letterman really shows himself to be a cruel man. Nobody deserves to be humiliated in this fashion.
Brad on October 2, 2007 at 7:33 PM
Yeah, and this site covers it pretty solidly. Chill already.
tickleddragon on October 2, 2007 at 7:37 PM
The terrorists are laughing at our decadence and frivolity.
Alex K on October 2, 2007 at 7:38 PM
Nobody who isn’t appearing on TV to see a product of our celebrity while avoiding questions about illegal activity, that is.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2007 at 7:39 PM
I hadn’t considered that. You’re right, lets appease them.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2007 at 7:40 PM
Classic!
Ignore the naysayers. If they were as “serious” as they claim to be, they wouldn’t be here to begin with, now would they? And they continue to hang around to be pounded by us right-thinkin’ folks who enjoy our abundant sense of humor.
“If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen!”
leepro on October 2, 2007 at 7:42 PM
er, to SELL a product BY their celebrity, I mean. forgive my typos
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2007 at 7:43 PM
Really? What I saw was a bully picking on the intellectual equivalent of a punching bag. Sure, we all share in a little schadenfreude at seeing Ms. PerfectPants squirm a little. But any idiot could do it.

Good ole Dave, really hard going after Paris. Why didn’t he give the traitorous ‘tard Sean Penn similar treatment?

Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 8:00 PM
What makes HA great is it is mostly serious along with some great humor. Lighten up, folks.
If it was serious 24/7, people would complain about too much doom and gloom.
JammieWearingFool on October 2, 2007 at 8:01 PM
I thought Bryan was doom and AP was gloom.
JasonG on October 2, 2007 at 8:02 PM
There are peaks and valleys, mcguyver.
Heck, I’d take a tenth of that action.
JammieWearingFool on October 2, 2007 at 8:05 PM
Hey, if ya want this article to turn serious, gotta ask the tough questions…
Would Whoopie “do” Paris?
Hmmmm.

Traffic goes down if you stray from your purpose and mission for existing…..
…………..time for some serious enlightenment………….
All of THE FOLLOWING COMMENTATORS HAVE FAILED MISERABLY. MAY YOU ALL HAVE VIVID DREAMS OF LITTLE GREEN MEN LAUGHING IN YOUR FACE UNTIL YOU REPENT.
Three strikes and you…are outta HERE!
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 8:10 PM
Letterman has his edge back, based on this clip.
windbag on October 2, 2007 at 8:12 PM
Looks like the Rosie O’mountains.
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 8:12 PM
I don’t watch Letterman anymore, but this is classic Dave. Reminds me of when he used to torment Cher on the show years ago.
infidel4life on October 2, 2007 at 8:13 PM
I’m really amazed at how seriously people take themselves and Paris Hilton.
SouthernDem on October 2, 2007 at 8:15 PM
I noticed that during that past few days, there was markedly less fluff and more good, ol’ fashioned socio-political headlines, stories with meat on their bones.
Now we are back to Hotairlite.com. What happened during those few magical days?
jihadwatcher on October 2, 2007 at 8:16 PM
I get plenty of serious news here. But I can get that lots of places. What keeps me coming back is Allah’s way with words, his carefully considered moral sense, and his genius level sense of nuanced humor. Even if I’m ambivalent about Paris, and I am, I love her as the foil that makes Allah write paragraphs like the one in this post.
Splunge on October 2, 2007 at 8:26 PM
The humor here is pure gold. Just look at the name of the site!
;-)
infidel4life on October 2, 2007 at 8:37 PM
She’s pretty hot when she fixes herself up. And seeing her pout and squirm is kind of a turn-on.
I think she knows exactly what she is doing.
Lawrence on October 2, 2007 at 8:39 PM
Allah had his wisdom teeth out so Bryan was solo. But Bryan hardly posted Saturday (and deservedly so) and he had some light posts as well.
Good God people, can’t you guys laugh a little and enjoy the fact that the good folks at HotAir provide you with the best variety of both deeply serious and thought provoking subject matter as well as tossing a bit of fluff to enjoy? See McGuyver’s post above to see HA’s mission statement.
Sigh…I guess it wouldn’t be Allah if he didn’t throw some people off their rockers from time to time.
SouthernDem on October 2, 2007 at 8:39 PM
Ask her what it’s like to be a STD infected, herpes transmitting slut.
Tim Burton on October 2, 2007 at 8:47 PM
Damn! That was my third. Its been real.
JiangxiDad on October 2, 2007 at 8:49 PM
Hey Brother, No matter what she has done. A gentleman should exercise comportment when with the fairer sex. That goes for Paris as it goes for Crystal Magnum.
TheSitRep on October 2, 2007 at 8:51 PM
I LOVE Paris Hilton. This was an AWESOME clip. You could totally see her demeanor change as he continued asking her. He was in his right to ask questions (she stood him up to go to prison before).
She got to promote her stuff, and got an additional 2.6 million promotions on YouTube Viral after the fact. Paris Hilton rocks! I hear she wants to have a baby. I’ll volunteer to help with that. I’ll be her K-Fed.
ThackerAgency on October 2, 2007 at 8:54 PM
You are such a spoiler.
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Oh yeah, and the ‘I’ll buy you a parakeet’ was perfect
ThackerAgency on October 2, 2007 at 8:56 PM
I come here for intellectually stimulating discussions and articles. Can we keep this tramp off HA? Please.

Feed her to the sharks. Use her as bear bait. What’s the deadpool up to?

Yeah, what SD said.
infidel4life on October 2, 2007 at 9:29 PM
Queen Media Whore of the Kingdom of Shallowness does time for a DUI: she deserves nothing less than Dave’s treatment.
deesine on October 2, 2007 at 9:44 PM
Sounds, actually reads, like some commenter’s have issues.
Kini on October 2, 2007 at 9:50 PM
I don’t know. I guess I don’t hate her enough to feel good about watching Letterman, who let’s not forget, is a sanctimonious, liberal A-hole, humiliate her right up to the point of tears. He’s clever, she’s not, so in my book it’s bullying. Call me old-fashioned, but I hate guys who pick on girls. He invites her on the show under the pretense that he’s going to let her promote her stuff, and then pulls the bait and switch on her. I tell you one thing; as I write this, I realize I dislike him a heck of a lot more than I do her. He’d do the same thing to Ayaan Hirsi Ali if you gave him half a chance, although she’d wouldn’t be such an easy mark, would she, so maybe he wouldn’t try, coward that he is.
Yeah, she’s shallow, but no more so than most valley girl wannabes you see at the mall. I suppose we could hate her for being rich, but isn’t that a liberal schtick? She’s got a clothing line, a movie, fragrances, a CD–sure she can buy all that stuff, but still, I have to give her credit for having a some moxie–I mean, she could also be laying around doing lines of coke all day.
Bottom line: there’s laughing with, and there’s laughing at. Letterman is a skillful enough comedian to have done the former, but instead he chose the latter. Putz.
smellthecoffee on October 2, 2007 at 10:28 PM
“Someone you met in prison?” ROTF!
Still, Letterman sucks. Thanks for digging through the crap and finding a gem for us, AP.
jaime on October 2, 2007 at 10:29 PM
Some of my fondest memories are of summer evenings and girls like Paris. Yummmmm.
Ernest on October 2, 2007 at 10:38 PM
I hadn’t watched Letterman in years, but just happened to tune in for this. I nearly suffocated from laughter.
SWLiP on October 2, 2007 at 10:50 PM
I don’t care enough about her to hate her. I’m sick and tired of seeing and hearing about her and Britney. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.
Mooseman on October 2, 2007 at 11:14 PM
Paris probably hasn’t been jailbait for what ten years now?
Jailbird fits though.
Most of the time Letterman is just another twisted logic bleeding heart liberal but it was fun watching him expose Paris for the phony she really, really is.
What is it she’s famous for again?
Speakup on October 3, 2007 at 12:06 AM
I’ve always enjoyed the Stupid Paris Tricks segments.
T J Green on October 3, 2007 at 1:18 AM
Every post on this site is hilarious.

Freelancer on October 3, 2007 at 2:31 AM
She’s a vacuous skank and he’s a sadistic bully. This clip makes me realize how much more I despise the latter.
inviolet on October 3, 2007 at 8:01 AM
Paris has the same quivering lips as ‘Wild Bill’, who taught who how to do it to get the sympathy they demand.
It must also work on a jury, but what would a jury of her peers look like? The first 12 people on the ‘red carpet’ at academy night.
MSGTAS on October 3, 2007 at 9:58 AM
Letterman likes to torture dumb blondes. Years back he had a spat with Madonna. He was rude then, he’s still rude. I agree that he would show some courage if he picked on some idiot like Spiccoli or Tim and his wife whatever her name is (I don’t watch tv or movies anymore, I refuse to contribute to these morons wealthy lifestyle while they tell us to reduce our crabon footprint). As for the lite content, liten up eh!
oilbertan on October 3, 2007 at 11:41 AM
I have more respect for Paris Hilton than Dave Letterman.
And that’s not based only on this interview. He’s been a big empty-headed lib for years; he got especially nasty towards President Bush in 2004. He’s just an old sourpuss.
Slightly on topic: Saturday I caught a few minutes of “Prairie Home Companion” and Garrison Keillor was embarrassing himself with one more tired old mockery of President Bush. It wasn’t funny. It was dreary and sad. Prairie Home used to be great, but I don’t listen anymore. Keillor should have retired the show 15 years ago.
Doug on October 3, 2007 at 11:54 AM
I don’t get it. What’s there to not like about Paris Hilton. She’s never claimed to be a Rocket scientist has she? As far as I know she’s not pushing leftist propaganda. She’s pretty. What’s to dislike? She pulled a stupid stunt about driving without a license. So did I when I was a kid.
I grew out of it. So?
Be the best that you can be Paris. ooh rah.
