I wouldn't have thought that anything could possibly make me feel any sympathy for Paris Hilton -- nor would I have thought that anything could make me like David Letterman less. But Letterman has achieved it -- inviting a mental defective onto his show and then sandbagging her. Puts me in mind of the epistle to Arbuthnot:

Let Sporus tremble -- What? that thing of silk,

Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk?

Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel?

Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?

^^^^^^^ CB: She's a poor little rich girl.
