Bush pushes for Anna Nicole

And now for a moment of comic relief. Proving the old adage that politics makes strange bedfellows true, the Bush administration is filing an amicus in the case of Anna Nicole Smith's bitter probate fight over her late husband's fortune and is asking to appear at oral arguments before the SCOTUS. The White House says it's over a technical point of law and they merely seek to protect the right of the feds to maintain jurisdiction over certain state matters. It has nothing to do with her --um-- assets.

AttyTood nails the money grafs.

But here's the part of the story we really didn't get:

Like Marshall, President Bush was a Texas oil man. Both attended Yale. Both held government positions in Washington.

There are differences. Marshall had a penchant for strippers, and the court record before the justices is one of poverty, greed, sex and family rivalry.

Wait a minute, we thought the story said there were differences?

Ha, ha, just kidding. We know that Bush has never been poor.

And as God is her witness, neither will Anna Nicole ever be poor again. I'll bet she's a Republican too.
