We may be able to see just how easy prisoners have it these days if our friend Tonya Harding posts from jail. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
On a more serious note, perhaps in addition to jailtime, she should be entered into a mandatory in-patient alcohol rehab facility. If she can't handle a judge's simple sentence of no alcohol consumption, then she has serious willpower issues!

Associated Press
Camas, Wash. -- Tonya Harding was sentenced to 10 days in jail Thursday for drinking alcohol while on probation.
In court, the former Olympic figure skater said her arrest for drunken driving forced her to re-examine her life and was the best thing that could have happened to her.
"I'm grateful to the judge for giving me this opportunity; I finally found out what my problem is: It's alcohol," Harding said after the brief hearing.
"I'm glad it happened so no one gets hurt, I don't get hurt and I'm making something right in my life for a change."
Harding is scheduled to start her sentence Aug. 20. Her lawyer, Steven Thayer, asked Judge Darvin Zimmerman to let Harding do her time in isolation. He presented a letter from a doctor saying Harding suffers from panic attacks.
The judge took no action on the matter. It's unclear if the detention center in Vancouver, Wash., is equipped to shield celebrities from other prisoners.
In April, Harding was behind the wheel of her truck when it veered off the road and crashed into a ditch. Harding failed a field sobriety test and her blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.16 -- twice the legal limit in Washington.
The accident happened when Harding had less than a month to go on her two-year probation for hitting a boyfriend with a hubcap. As part of her probation, she was not allowed to consume alcohol.
She acknowledged violating that condition when she pleaded guilty Monday to drunken driving and was ordered to enter a treatment program for alcoholics.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

Reminds me of the ESPN report a few years ago when Tonya and her hubby got divorced.
Charlie Steiner busted out laughing and couldn't even finish the whole story. He was like "as part of the prenuptial agreement, Tonya gets the pickup truck - Michael gets the tool chest." <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />

I loved it when Steiner would just start laughing during his reports. You notice how he always got the Mike Tyson stories? You knew he would lose it if he was talking about Mike. It's hilarious when reporters lose it like that.
