The Paris Hilton Syndrome

There's a justice system for the elite, and a justice system for the rest of us. It pays to be connected.

Abdulmutallab has been joined by family members from Nigeria, including his father who happens to be the former finance minister for that OPEC member country. The accused faces charges which carry a life sentence, but a plea deal is underway. Let us count Abdulmutallab's blessings. He's black, a plus with Obama, he's from Africa, a Muslim, again both Obama pluses. Abdulmutallab's father has OPEC connections, plus. Daddy has a big checkbook for a substantial campaign contribution for his "favorite Kenyan" and most likely several friends back home who could likewise be tapped on behalf of his son. Lastly in the Muslim world showing mercy would buy alot of PR for the mini-messiah.

Abdulmutallab has a very good chance of walking out of here with , time served and a pat on the head. 'You,you crazy mixed up boy, you really had us there for a minute, hahahaha, trying to set your underware on fire, hahhahaha whewww, what a wild man, hahahaha !!!

If you or I put a gun to someone's head and pulled the trigger, but the only thing that saved the intended victim was the round failing to fire. If our crime involved 278 would be victims, I'm not real sure the courts would be anxious to hear our plea for leniency. Then there is the "send a message" aspect. What IS the court trying to say to all would be terrorists?

Let's see..... Don't pay your Obama Care premium, 5 years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
