Paris Hilton isn't the only rich crybaby...

from today's papers/slate.com:

The Washington Post and NY Times cover the first day of the trial in the now-infamous case of the judge who filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against his dry cleaner after his pants were lost.

 Judge Roy Pearson wants the owners of the dry cleaners to pay him $54 million for all his trouble. The owners of the dry cleaner even tried to offer him $12,000, but he refused.

Apparently because the trauma of the lost pants was so overwhelming, Pearson cried while he told his story.

Pearson makes more than $100,000 as a judge, but the NYT notes he might not have that job for much longer. "I don't know of any other cases that have been quite this ridiculous," a law professor tells the NYT.
