The Hilton And The Sheriff And $1,000 Dollars

Radaronline is reporting that the reason Sheriff Lee Baca, the Los Angeles law-enforcement official granted Paris Hilton a get-out-of-jail card is that he accepted a $1,000 campaign donation last year from William Barron Hilton, Paris' grandfather!!!!!!! That amount constituted the maximum amount allowable under California campaign rules.

In office since 1998, Baca has cultivated close ties to the Hollywood community. Others who donated money to his campaign last year included Rupert Murdoch, Les Moonves, Ron Meyer, Brad Grey, Steven Segal, and Burt Bacharach. He was assailed last year over a claim by the Sheriff's Department that Mel Gibson had been arrested without incident, when the star had actually spewed anti-Semitic statements after getting pulled over for drunk driving. It soon emerged that Gibson had taped a public service announcement for Baca's relief committee.

I knew it!!!!!!!!! Get this guy out of his office!!!!! He should be investigated!!!!!!! Corruption!!!!!!
