Priorities
There's troops in Iraq, which keeps turning into more of a quagmire every day. People inside the White House have been indicted for leaking the names of covert CIA employees to the press in retaliation for their politics. The White House has not only okayed the use of the NSA to violate the Constitution, but defiantly insists that it's going to continue. There's a far right wing extremist who's about to start confirmation hearings to the US Supreme Court. Osama bin Laden is still at large, as is Zarqawi. The housing bubble is in the process of bursting. Two thirds of the American public believes that the country is headed down the wrong track. With all these serious and important things to focus attention on, what are George W. Bush and his administration paying attention to?
A coked out, slurring embarrassment of a has-been celebrity.
Yep, the Bush administration can't be bothered to give you an honest answer about Iraq, and doesn't want to talk about its NSA spying policies... but the administration has deemed it a prudent use of its resources and time to get involved in Anna Nicole Smith's estate battle.
Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith has an unusual bedfellow in the Supreme Court fight over her late husband's fortune: the Bush administration. The administration's top Supreme Court lawyer filed arguments on Smith's behalf and wants to take part when the case is argued before the justices.
If you were president right now, isn't this where you'd place your priorities? This administration's as phony and plastic as Anna's most famous assets.

Blonde bombshells with large "you know whats" should always be at the top of any male's to-do list (no pun intended), including even the prez-dant's.
