The surreal becomes more so...

Anna Nicole Smith apparently has the Bush administration in her, um…pockets (I'll be nice). Smith is headed to the Supreme Court…the national one…on February 28th to argue her rights for her claim in the wealth of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall II, Texas oil tycoon and renaissance man of exotic dancers. As if having Smith at the Supreme Court wasn't surreal enough, the Bush administration's top Supreme Court attorney filed arguments on her behalf and would like to take part when the case is argued before the Justices.

State courts said it should go to the tycoon's son, E. Pierce Marshall. The Feds haven't made up their mind, as one judge sided with Smith, another reduced the purse, and another tossed out the argument altogether.

Supposedly, the Bush attorney is going to argue for upholding federal juristictions in such disputes…but you know why he's really there.

Anna's take on all this? "Trimspa baby! Yeah!".
