If you think our political system is wacky, check out the Bahamas. There, Anna Nicole Smith has actually become an early election issue. Smith moved to the Bahamas in July and gave birth to her daughter there in September. Her son also died the same day. Lawmakers are at each others' throats, claiming that the government is giving the former Playboy model special treatment. She received fast track treatment to declare residency in the Bahamas and the coroner also skipped over a backlog of investigations to determine the cause of her son's death (he died of a lethal mix of methadone and anti-depressants). Opposition lawmakers, who want to take control of the government in next year's elections, are calling for the resignation of the Immigration Minister who granted her residency. Now, thanks to Anna Nicole, one of the main issues for the opposition party is a review of requirements for legal residency.Anna Nicole Smith an issue in Bahamas elections

I think that they should have stricter immagration laws, she used those laws to get away from paternity tests from the real father. I think she is fake and messed up that she would act so stupid and childish even after her sons death.

I am a bahamian as well and Anna has brought nothing but shame to the bahamas with scandals. It seems as if every where Anna goes she causes controversy. She needs to stay away from the Bahamas.
