An open letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Dear Arnie/Mr. Governor/T-800/Conan the Barbarian,

Word on the street is that pampered princess Paris Hilton is trying to get her fans to sign a petition to send to you, one that demands you pardon Paris from her 45 day jail sentence for violating her probation not once, but twice.

I don't think I need to implore you to deny or even ignore such requests. You're too smart for that. You know that someone like Paris thinks that with enough money and enough fame she can be above the law and the constraints that bind us "normal folk" to doing what's right, namely following the rules and laws laid down by those in government we elect to represent and protect us.

You cannot show leniency because she is Paris Hilton. You can not let her get off Scott Free simply because she says "She doesn't deserve this." You must be the Gubernator. Put your foot down. Drop the hammer. Blow up the building. Save the gir-- no wait, sorry, got carried away. That's the one heroic thing you *don't* want to do this time. It would be a severe mistake on your part and would show the rest of the country how you treat your fellow celebrities when it comes to matters of right and wrong in the eyes of justice.

So do what's right. Ignore the petitions. Laugh them off. Use them to light your cigars.

Paris Hilton deserves to go to jail. Let her serve her sentence.

Respectfully,
Hasta La Vista,

Cbake
