SO NOT FAIR!

Writer's block? Just read the newspapers or "PopEater"

In was in the latter on-line site that we were the first to hear Mother Of The Year candidate Dinal Lohan's response to her daughter Lindsay being sentenced to 90 days in jail by Judge Marsha Revel, the only one of the two women who may deserve to be invited to "The Mother's Ball."

The Judge demonstrated incredibly good judgment. The other, Dina, in response to the news about her daughter allegedly commented EXCLUSIVELY to PopEater, "This is so not fair to do this to my child."

Now, let's examine her comment for less than the minute it deserves attention. Incredibly, she has adopted the syntax of her daughter's generation . She also places herself first in her response as to their order of importance by her reference to "my child."

So, was Mother Dina upset that the just punishment was levied on this remarkably stupid young actress or was she miffed that vicariously they were "so not fair" to her, the mother?

Perhaps Judge Revel can find a cell big enough to fit both Lindsay and Dina along with their Louis Vuitton bags - or better yet - allow Dina to serve the sentence in her daughter's stead.

Why not - it is only a matter of time before Lindsay will probably be sentenced again because she doesn't have the benefit of the parental wisdom you and I bestowed on our kids.

And all those hanger-ons who feel sorry for Lindsay and are determined for her to see the right path? What? Give up the opportunity to sit in the VIP section?

Now, to the more serious standard of justice. On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder filed a lawsuit against Arizona for actually doing something about illegal -oops there's that word again - I mean "undocumented" workers. (please reference, "If it walks like a duck, etc etc.")

You'll all remember "Even Handed Eric." He's the one who gave us the idea of providing terrorists the Miranda Rights before trying them in our court system, as opposed to that of the military. There are people in The Hague who are still shaking their heads.

But, then again if we're going to build a Mosque near the site of the worst internal attack this country has ever experienced, why not help New York's tourism industry by trying them there?

You must have heard of Holder. He was also the guy who allegedly recommended to President Clinton that fugitive and Democratic contributor Mark Rich should be pardoned and advised his attorney, jack Quinn, how to go about it. Rich was subsequently pardoned.

Holder was also allegedly involved with Clinton's decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of what the FBI then labelled a terrorist organization. They were not required as a condition of sentence reduction to indentify the hiding place of Manuel Gerena, a co-conspirator and one of the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Nor, were they required to reveal anything about the millions of dollars the group stole in a 1983 robbery of Wells Fargo

Needless-to-say, the clemency granted was opposed by the FBI, the federal prosecutor and the victims.

Later, when the A.G. was questioned about the Rich matter he stated, "I wish I had done some things differently." (Hey, Eric you still have time to reconsider that thinking on the Arizona law).

As one who has considerable influence as Attorney General, both in this country and abroad. he Holder also wields a heavy stick over his government attorneys who were quoted as saying on the Arizona matter, "The (Arizona) law would cause harassment and possible detention of legal immigrants and harm diplomatic relations with Mexico."

Oh yeah! The "diplomatic relations" rationale got my attention bu somehow failed to ameliorate any concerns about Big Government overstepping States Rights one more time.

The only argument that suggested one iota of possible rationale for debate was a fear that should the Federal Government allow Arizona to usurp their authority we could end up with a "patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country."

So, be it. Then maybe we'd find somebody with the guts to step up and announce just exactly what this country's policy is on "illegal immigration."

The President has been silent. Congress has been silent. Even the guy whose company is selling all that fencing hasn't had a lot to say.

If you truly want to understand our diplomatic relations with Mexico - try sneaking in there some time.

The Justice Department's decision in this matter was, "so not fair."
