Anna Nicole Smith: New Drug Questions Raised

While the world waits for the DNA results on the baby of Anna Nicole Smith, CNN again touched on the concern last night of the new drug questions in the case. The network ran a poll question on the popular ‘Showbiz Tonight’ program that asked “Did Howard K. Stern” fail Anna Nicole Smith? An overwhelming 79 percent answered yes to the question in the poll, the show reported on Tuesday night. Only 21 percent said no.
And the show said there were new drug questions, noting an earlier report showed evidence that of the 11 drugs in the hotel room at the time of her death, not a single one was actually prescribed to Anna Nicole.

Host A.J. Hammer noted Anna Nicole was a “walking drugstore.” He then asked Harvey Levin, the managing editor of TMZ.Com how that could happen. Levin answered, “While the stunning thing about the drugs in her hotel room is none of them were prescribed to Anna Nicole Smith, eight of these drugs were prescribed to Howard K. Stern. Two were prescribed to somebody; we have no idea who that is. And then one was prescribed to Anna Nicole’s personal psychologist — psychiatrist. And that is the person who prescribed all 11 drugs, by the way…It really raises questions about prescribing habits and enabling in Anna Nicole’s life.”
A.J. again brought up the clown video (pictured) and asked, “Would someone who cared so much about Anna Nicole be a part of this shocking videotape played in court during the battle over Anna Nicole`s body?”
Levin replied, “Howard K. Stern clearly knew she was taking drugs. The issue was, what did he do to stop her? And we weren’t there during that relationship, but we do have glimpses of it. And when you see Howard K. Stern pointing a video camera at her when she’s eight months pregnant, clearly whacked out of her mind and kind of joking, are you on mushrooms and then saying, we can make money off of this, it does not really make a good statement.”

Howard K. Stern does have his defenders. Constance from Michigan e-mailed the show saying, “He did not fail Anna. If you believe that he did, then you have to believe all of her family. You have to remember that Anna`s problems started in childhood. Ask her dear mother about that. I believe Howard was one of the few people on this Earth that truly cared for Anna and Daniel.”

So when Howard makes some absurd ILLUSION that he was talking about something else, they can show that the damn video does have value...extraordinary value!!
Of course, Howard hadn't edited himself OUT yet and manipulated it.
In light of the precedent set by the flying imams...does this mean that Howard can sue us if we voted "yes" in this poll???
