It sounds then MO of Sharpton Inc.?
Steven Pagones filed a defamation suit against Maddox, Mason and Sharpton; he had already won a default judgment against Tawana in 1991. He was politically destroyed, and Sharpton has yet to pay one cent to Pagones suit that he won.
Formal Request for Janet Reno's Accident and Drunk Driving Records
Clinton/Gore/Boxer/Reno/Dahsel/Gephart and many are renousing Bush as being elected and they do like to destroy those in their way even Jeb Bush.

STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR JEB BUSH REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A BLUE RIBBON PANEL ON CHILD PROTECTION
TALLAHASSEE - "I am today establishing a Blue Ribbon Panel on Child Protection to review the performance of the State's child protection system in Miami-Dade County.
"The panel will be made up of Dave Lawrence, current chair of the Florida Partnership for School Readiness and former publisher of the Miami Herald; Sr. Jeanne O'Laughlin, President of Barry University; Carol Licko, partner with Hogan and Hartson law firm; and Sara Herald, current Group Chief Administrative Officer of Union Planters Bank and former regional vice-president of Children's Home Society. I am asking that Dave Lawrence chair this panel.
"These community leaders bring a wealth of experience and wisdom to the task before them. They can help us all be sure that we are doing everything possible to keep our children safe.
"The recent case of Rilya Wilson has raised very troubling questions about the state's performance in protecting children in the child welfare system. It is essential that we resolve these issues quickly and ensure that children in the care and custody of the state are properly supervised and cared for. In the case of Rilya, the system failed. We must guard against failure in other cases.
"I am asking that the Panel focus its attention on the safety of children in the child welfare system. The Panel will also specifically focus on the adequacy of oversight and accountability within the Department of Children and Families.
"I am asking that the Panel submit an interim report to me by May 20, 2002 and a final report by June 3, 2002. This is an aggressive schedule for the Panel's work, but the critical importance of the task - protecting our vulnerable children - demands urgent action."

==================================
How can they put all this blame on Jeb? It's HIS fault for the employee who never did her job? DO you know how many state workers NEVER DO THEIR JOB??? I cannot put this blame on Jeb...he should fire this typical state worker and her boss....that's it.
The Dems in the past have "CRAP!" and than blame it on the other guy -"YOU DID IT!" Or they are famous for framing one, they set traps, and the other person is blindsided!
They feel they must to win this coming election no matter what!!!!
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know.
restornu, while I think the Dems are going a little too far to make Jeb responsible for the missing child it's also kind of farfetched for you to assume that they would purposely take this child. If that is what happened it wouldn't be much of a surprise but I think it's a bit of a leap at this time.
But the Democrats have an even bigger motive to win.
They want to win in Florida against Bush's brother, so they can "prove" the Florida election was stolen in 2000.
Already, the Democrats are keeping alive the embers of 2000, hoping it energizes their base in 2004.
Jeb Bush also will face the liberal media in Florida, particularly a cabal of ultra-liberal newspapers that dominate the state, including the Miami Herald, Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Orlando Sentinel, Tampa Tribune, St. Petersburg Times, and others.
Already the media in Florida have begun a drumbeat of negative press criticism against Jeb - in an apparent effort to lay the groundwork for Reno.
The latest media smear effort being exploited by the Democrats is the tragedy of Rilya Wilson, the missing 5-year-old Florida girl who disappeared while under state supervision.
Though polls still show Bush way ahead in the polls, the liberal New York Times is trumpeting the controversy.
In a May 8 story, Times reporter Dana Canedy wrote that Democrats are "Sensing vulnerability in Gov. Jeb Bush's re-election bid."
As NewsMax.com reported on May 7, Rilya was placed in the care of her godmother, Geralyn Graham, two years ago. In January 2001 a woman claiming to be a state employee appeared at her door to take the little girl for neurological tests. That was the last time Rilya Wilson was seen.
According to Juvenile Judge Cindy Lederman caseworker Deborah Muskelly continued to assure her Rilya was being raised properly. Muskelly resigned in March over discrepancies in another case, and it wasn't discovered Rilya was missing until April 25 when another caseworker tried to see her.
Desperate for an issue to boost their sagging poll figures, Democrats and their media allies in Florida and across the country have zeroed in on the case of the missing child, noting that it took the Florida Department of Children and Families 15 months to discover she'd apparently vanished into thin air when she was supposedly living under their close supervision.
I think the folks at Prima Donna owe Sharpton some Reparations for his bad hair-doo!
