Anna Nicole Smith is now accused of bribing officials in the Bahamas to get her citizenship so she could avoid granting custody or visitation rights of her new daughter to Larry Birkhead, the man who is thought to be the father. MSNBC says:
The “fast-tracking” of Smith’s residency in the island nation has caused a political uproar there, with accusations being hurled that Smith’s application for citizenship was moved to the top of a long list after her $10,000 check was delivered to the personal home of the Bahamas' immigration minister, Shane Gibson… (some say) Smith was given residency in a stunningly short three weeks. But Gibson calls his critics “dishonest” and “disingenuous,” and insists that Smith’s residency took three months. “Now granted this one was done very quickly,” he says. “We did our research. It’s not the first time.” He cited the case of a wealthy Czech financier from 1995, whose application was processed in just over two months.
It might not be the best idea in the world to cite another example, and have that example also be some rich foreigner who would probably bribe people. It would be like if I told you I let some cobras loose in your room, but don’t worry, because there’s also a bear in here somewhere. Try to guess where!
