California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has refused to be drawn into Paris Hilton's jail appeal, insisting he has more pressing matters to deal with.
The desperate socialite, who was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail earlier this month after violating terms of her 2006 drunk-driving arrest, has teamed up with a pal to pioneer an online petition begging the politician for a pardon.
The appeal, which is addressed to Schwarzenegger, claims "the American public who support Paris are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that drunk driving is wrong."
Earlier this week Schwarzenegger's press secretary insisted it was premature to comment on the case, but his boss hinted yesterday her campaign was likely to end in disappointment.
Schwarzenegger said, "I've never got any request. But I have many more important things to think about."
I think you may be right. I think Ito was an idiot. I also think the jury were full of starstruck fools as well. Many people just could not believe OJ was guilty. My brother to this day refuses to believe it, and he’s white so it’s not just among blacks
Guess who I'm more impressed by.
She also didn’t say she was going to rehab. Rehab is the ticket out!
