Good news from Paris. No, not the capital of France which, it seems likely, will tomorrow crown Sarkozy its President. I mean the Hilton heiress, who was sent to jail yesterday for 45 days for driving while disqualified. There are so many cheap jokes one could make about the new Los Angeles Hilton and the standard of the rooms. But since this is an interactive site I shall leave it to others to crack them. Suffice it to say that the news of Paris’s imprisonment shows that, after 24 hours of spin and counter-spin, Friday was definitely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a very good day.
