The whole Anna Nicole Smith story is sad and embarassing on so many levels. First of all, that poor little baby has lost its mother and has lost the parent lottery given that none of the three choices are much more than opportunists anyway. I hope, for her sake, that someone is able to step up and provide a decent home and upbringing because, in her later years, when she inevitably learns about all of this she is going to need a lot of therapy.
Sadly, for our society, this whole story just once again points out how perverted we are. I was stuck on an airplane that had live television available for five hours the other day and all the available news channels were focused, almost exclusively, on the Anna Nicole story and the “news” of the terms of her will. Iraq, Iran and the 2008 presidential election all were subordinated to the media interest in Anna Nicole’s will. The Los Angeles Times today ran a front page story about it and must feel some institutional shame about the whole thing because even though they attempted to focus on the legal issues they noted that surveys show people lie about not being interested in the story when they really are.
I do not care who the father of the little girl turns out to be. I do not care who gets Anna Nicole’s money. Yet, I suppose I will be forced to learn all about it as the story unfolds while people are dying in Iraq.
