EXCLUSIVE: Hilton Calls Barbara Walters from Jail(For those who care...)
ABC NEWS ^ | June 11, 2007 | staff

Posted on 06/11/2007 7:04:23 AM PDT by kellynla

In jail serving out the remainder of her sentence for violating parole on reckless driving charges, Paris Hilton phoned ABC News' Barbara Walters Sunday to discuss her state of mind, her experience in prison and how she feels she has changed.

Barbara Walters will discuss more of her conversation with Paris Hilton on "The View" at 11 a.m. ET.

Hilton said jail and the chaos surrounding her sentence have made her realize she must clean up her act.

"I used to act dumb," she told Walters in the exclusive phone conversation. "That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference. ... God has given me this new chance."

“Mr. President. Given the number of US soldier deaths in Iraq, and the deteriorating situation in Iran, the fact that North Korea continues on its path of becoming a nuclear power, the destabilizing situation regarding Putin’s decision to rekindle a ballistic missile program, and the risk of a possible interest rate increase coming from the Fed that would be very damaging to an already shaky US mortgage market, Mr. President, I have just one question for you: What’s the latest on Paris Hilton?”

From Inside the Beltway. Finally, something to like about Wolf Blitzer:

"There is hope

Don't ever accuse Wolf Blitzer, anchor of CNN's "The Situation Room," of being ensnared in the paparazzi-fed hype and infatuation over Paris Hilton.

During his daily production meeting on Friday -- the same day that the young California socialite was "taken handcuffed and crying from her home," "escorted into court disheveled, without makeup, hair askew and face red with tears," "crying out for her mother when she was ordered back to jail," a "little girl lost in a merciless legal system" -- Mr. Blitzer vowed that during that afternoon's entire news program, he would not bring himself to utter two words: Paris Hilton.

"And he didn't," a CNN producer tells Inside the Beltway.

"I used to act dumb," she told Walters in the exclusive phone conversation. "That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference. God has given me this new chance"...Paris directed her lawyers not to appeal her sentence and urged the media to focus on more important things like Iraq.

In a cage and a horrible experience....hmm, isn't that pretty much the definition of jail?

“Do other inmates get to make calls to the media from jail?”

Counselor, you of all people, should know that one can call anyone they like from the jail payphone as long as the call is collect.
Of course, I don’t know this from personal experience. LOL

That big, blinking text was meant to indicate that I’m being sarcastic about what I said.

It’s easy to make such vows when you’re imprisoned but a lot harder to keep them when you’re back in familiar surroundings. I will keep praying for her and pray she finds a good church fellowship to help her in keeping those promises she’s made to herself.

Actually, I don’t know anything about the criminal side of things. I’ve never done any criminal law.
