Rich American Asshole

Not content with stealing everyone's retirement savings with the self-inflicted financial meltdown they dropped on us, while continuing to fill our televisions with reality shows about how fabulous they are, America's rich are now assaulting us with their odious offspring.  Massively over-privileged youth have taken the silver spoons from their mouths and have sharpened them into prison shivs.  That's ironic in the sense that in America the rich don't serve time. 

Young Connie Hilton - Paris's baby brother, took a fit on a transatlantic flight.  Let's review his antics: 

"According to an FBI affidavit, Hilton acknowledged calling other passengers “peasants” and said he had would have killed one flight attendant if another passenger hadn’t calmed him down during the 10-hour July 31 flight.

Hilton ignored instructions to keep his seat belt fastened and began pacing the aisle as the aircraft ascended, the document said.

When told to sit, he launched a series of tirades that had some of the children aboard the plane in tears. He threatened to kill several flight attendants and a co-pilot, and threatened to get them fired, the affidavit said.

“I could get you all fired in five minutes. I know your boss,” Hilton said in one of the document’s few quotes that didn’t include an expletive."

That seems hilarious, except that he made a bunch of kids cry and may have, you know, crashed the plane if he's gone after the cockpit.  What's really pathetic is that he probably could get them all fired.  That's how Medieval America works these days.

And calling them peasants?  How appropriate.  All I could think of is this (3:07 mark):


And now he's reportedly going to plead guilty:

"The offence carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail, a year of probation and a $5,000 fine, but under the deal prosecutors said they would ask a judge to give Hilton only probation."

I wonder what the punishment would be for one of us 99% folks?  Five years on an Alabama road team?  In America, the rich don't serve, because we're all future lottery winners and don't want to screw up the sweetheart deal we'll get when we're the ones in the chips.  Never mind that the US has the least social and economic mobility in the developed world. 

In South Korea, they're so fed up with their worthless worthies that they are actually sending the nut-rage chick to the slammer.  I'm sure she'll get her nuts handed to her on a plate in prison. 

Dennis Leary sang the theme song for these "lovely filth."  He just needs to update the song with a verse about crashing the economy and making peasant children cry on airplanes.
