…12 days into Kiefer Sutherland’s 48-day sentence for drunk driving, and I’ve got a simple question: Where is the media?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Paris Hilton hit the slammer, the media responded with helicopters, continuous cable news coverage, swarms of paparazzi and endless streams of speculation on What It All Means. But do a search on the terms "Kiefer Sutherland" and "jail" on Google News, and the most recent articles you’ll see beyond superficial name checking were gossipy items from last Wednesday and Thursday noting that the 24 star is on laundry duty and gets about 100 pieces of fan mail each day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…It’s a collective media yawn matched only by the non-coverage given Jodie Foster, who finally publicly mentioned last week the 54-year-old woman she has been living with for 14 years, obliquely confirming that, yep, she’s gay<\/a>. (which makes me wonder, how does Entertainment Weekly do a whole cover story on her months ago and not get close to this fact?)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I assume that the primary reason for the lack of coverage of Kiefer compared to Paris is that he’s not as compelling. Paris is fascinating in that trainwreck way…<\/p>\n

Here’s an analogy about this: the best sex is with freaky chicks, not good solid mentchy women.<\/p>\n

Aside from his alcoholism, Kiefer seems like a mentch.<\/p>\n
