Anna Nicole goes to court

Proving once again that the gal
with the best implants always stays afloat, Anna Nicole Smith has found herself an unlikely ally in her Supreme Court
battle for the kabillion dollar inheritance she believes her ex-husband wanted her to have. U.S. Solicitor
General Paul Clement, the Bush administration's top Supreme Court attorney, has filed arguments on behalf of Smith, and
is lobbying for permission to argue alongside Smith's attorney when the case goes before the judges on February 28.
Though Bush has more than a couple of things in common with Smith's long-dead benefactor – both were Yalies
-turned- Texas oilmen – this is apparently an issue not of fraternity, but of politics: the Supremes are only
hearing Smith's case because it maintains that federal court rulings should maintain
superiority
over local judgements, and that's apparently an issue close to the Neo-con administration's heart.

I look at it this way. Yeah we all know she is a gold digger, she knows she was a gold digger, and he knew she was a gold digger. The old guy wasn't stupid, nor was he senile just because he was old. He probably thought: "Hell I don't have much time left on this earth and I can't take my money with me so I'm gonna spend it on a young piece of (huge) ass and have some fun before I go.
She was certainly in it for her own, but, whether altruistic or not, she made the dude feel good and he paid her as a thank you. His kids should respect his final wishes as they certainly weren't entitled to anything. They were only entitled to the half he gave them. She was entitled to hers simply because he said so.
It's his money and he had the free will to do with it as he chose.
