Reports are that former Bahamian Minister of Immigration, Shane Gibson, has hired the Johnny Cochran of white-collar litigation, Willie Gary, to sue American media outlets for “ruining his personal and professional reputation with scandalous and libelous remarks”.
The irony, of course, is that proud and informed Bahamians would like to see Mr Gibson held to account for ruining our political and legal reputation with his star-struck and shady dealings with Anna Nicole Smith.
But, frankly, Gibson’s case is fatally flawed. Because, to prevail, all any defense attorney for the media has to do is display poster-size shots of him in bed with Anna Nicole whilst playing the barrage of phone messages he left her – over one 24-hour period, which make him seem every bit the unprofessional, pussy-whipped and love-sick puppy the media have made him out to be. In fact even an OJ jury would have to find that no one did more to ruin his reputation than Gibson did himself…
Accordingly, again I plea:
…to preserve the integrity of his government, Prime Minister Perry Christie must demand Gibson’s resignation [not only as minister but also as a renominated MP] forthwith!
And my plea is urgent. Because it is very likely that more embarrassing, if not incriminating, information about Mr Gibson’s involvement with Anna Nicole will be published in the coming days and weeks to titillate the world and humiliate us. Indeed, it behooves the prime minister to appreciate that his failure to act decisively in this regard is having a corrosive effect on his re-election prospects.
Meanwhile, I implore my fellow Bahamians to reject any notion that this pathetic All-American tragedy being played out on our soil is good for our tourist economy. Because the only ones who are truly benefiting are the lawyers, tabloid owners and Howard K. Stern – notwithstanding his sworn denials to the contrary.

The O.J Simpson case allowed a lot of little people to write books and be thrust in the spotlight overnight. Look at that former cab driver judge how he was using the opportunity to showcase his talents. So, a lot of people will be piggybacking on the Ana Nicole’s train.
