Screw Anna Nicole Smith.

How about some wall to wall coverage of another young woman who died yesterday?

Jennifer M. Parcell, USMC. Killed in Action, February 7th, 2007.

No, she never had a reality series. No, she was never Playmate of the Year, or married a billionaire old enough to be her grandfather, and no, her lawsuit over the estate never made it to the Supreme Court. She was just a Marine, doing her duty in a distant land. I may not agree with the mission she was on, but I sure as hell supported her.

I'm forwarding this link to CNN, and challenging them to do fifteen minutes on Marine Parcell's life and untimely death.

Thanks to filkertom for the link.

Speaking as a Texan, it's not quite that sordid in context. Or it could be even more sordid, I suppose.

Marshall wasn't a billionaire in life, though his estate may have approached a billion at some point. More importantly, though they met when she was merely a stripper/topless dancer, by the time they were married Smith was a millionaire model and pinup girl herself, just not a hecto-millionaire.
