1. We shall always have Paris.....

[MrScorpio]

2. Let's see how the Drug War State treats her case

This should quite a lesson in Class Warfare

[WCGreen]

3. Wow, she strickes a pose and keeps it...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. She is so unattractive.

A bit like Sarah in that way.

[formercia]

5. Actually, she's a pretty smart woman

but, in her case, smarts doesn't pay the bills.

Paris has a lot more in common with the people on DU.

15. "smart" and "a lot in common with DU" - based on what?? lol, i'm just curious.

[formercia]

16. I hear she's pretty liberal.

I'm not defending her behavior, nor is she the type of woman I would even think of dating, but for a bunch of liberals and progressives, it doesn't take much to bring out the underbelly mentality here. Her parents may be wealthy but most of what she has, she did on her own.

Give the kid a break.

10. amazing that she always has the same head pose

that must have taken practice to always get her head just right for the picture.

[inna]

14. same head pose, same face expression.

not just in that gif, but in most of her photos.

[necso]

6. No mention of marijuana found?

That marijuana-smell bit is an old excuse for pushing the envelope on probable cause.

7. On the bright side...

maybe this will push Beckapalooza off the MSM's radar.

[tanyev]

8. *gasp* Did you read my mind?

I was even going to use "Beckapalooza". Freaky.

[MrScorpio]

9. The media circus is good for something, if that's the case. nt

[Bitwit1234]

11. QWonder how the rich and powerful will wiggle out of this

cause, like Rush and his Oxy if you got the moola you get out of anything. You either don't go to jail or get a sentence so light you don't even know you had one.

[formercia]

12. The DA knows she has consiglieri

They have to weigh the benefit of a conviction over the legal cost to the jurisdiction.

13. Paris probably decided that...

...Lindsey was getting way too much attention lately and decided she needed to focus the news back on her.
