The fiancee of Jennifer Wilbanks, the runaway bride, is on Hannity & Colmes tonight at 9 PM EDT. Also Zell Miller will be on. Tune in !
I thought Garrett's Dunking Booth idea was a good one.
Mason made a comment after Jen first called home, while in front of the media...jokingly...something like, hey, when's Hannity coming. It sounded like he was a fan.
do not know that one.
my parents got a divorce when i was 8. and i turned out pretty awesome. oh, other than i burst into tears everytime i see a green volkswagon beetle. and i start limping when it rains. and i affinity for porn.
just joshing y'all
Sure - if the wedding actually goes through :)
Great, Don't forget the Rebel flag! LOL
You beat me to it!
Why on earth would any of us be interested in a poor ugly woman going through this. We want our drama queens to be pretty and well to do. I am leaving out the black angle. I am sure their drama queens are derived from their standards.
We are mainly intereested in the myth of the Belle. I don't think anyone here claims belle status and it would be ridiculous if they did so what with Belles being busy with parties and all.
The Belle is self absorbed, impulsive, thoughtless and does things just like this.
Our interest is in the story and it is a southern story no matter how much protest their is.
Let the rest of the country have their own myths and stories. We don't have to get caught up in theirs. And they don't have to understand ours. I don't really think they can.
I can't believe you're actually arguing that pornography is a private act unless it is publicly funded. I have to agree with Palladin that your argument is the silliest one I've ever seen on FR.
Excellent post - thank you.
That's what I see and hear.
Well, I would have agreed with you until Jethro Mason decided to take his case on Hannity and Colmes, with daddy-in-law and the reverends.
This has all the makings of a Jeff Foxworthy routine.
You're missing the point of this thread, and you're poorer for it.
If it's a waste of 'good people's time' to follow this, why are you wasting so much of your time lecturing us?
(About how the next woman will suffer because of this).
If you make her pay for the search, the next time someone is abducted the family will have to decide whether they want to pay for the police if it turns out to be a runaway. That would be a bad thing. We want people to call the police. We pay the police for this.
Those who volunteered to look for her have a right to ask her for an apology, but I think making people pay whenever the police or ambulance of firefighters get involved and it turns out to be a false alarm is just asking for trouble.
I would think differently if it seemed she had taken purposeful action to make them look for her (like that college girl who reported herself kidnapped and then hid for several days).
My goodness, you actually made sense................
Is that allowed?????
great point.
I wonder if she didn't have her actual panic just moments before the 911 call, when John told her he'd 'been on CNN'.
Next thing she knows, she's in worse hell than any bride might ever imagined about her wedding, being paraded in front of the national press in a clown's veil.
Just incredible.
You do have lovely manners.
Even though I am now drawing Social Security, I still "Mam and Sir".
It must be a "southern" thing.
I missed the evidence of her staying at the treasure island.
That wasn't in any of the stories I've read, did John say that tonight in his interview?
She might not have turned on her TV. She might have gone to Vegas because they will comp you a room sometimes before they realise you don't have money. Or maybe she didn't stay in a room, another story said she road the bus because she could sleep on it and be safe. SO what is the truth?
Not lately.
It is sadly funny, but it is not her fault he called the authorities. And apparently he did so in good faith.
I only have two questions about the whole thing:
1. Was the hair hers as the chief of police indicated and was she trying to make people believe she had been abducted then? If so she is more culpable for the expenditure than at first blush.
2. Boortz claimed today on the radio when I was driving in to work that she had done something like this in the past. If her family knew and did not tell the authorities, they may have some liability. But of course if your child, even your 32 year old child, is missing, you naturally do not want to tell the police things in her past that might cause them to stop looking.
Now if it turns out the two of them conspired to put off their wedding, then yes I would think they had committed a crime. So far that does not appear to be the case.
Go easy on poor Jethro. For one thing, he had a better haircut than Mason.
