Anna Nicole's Body Loaded onto Private Jet

Minutes ago, the casket containing the body of Anna Nicole Smith was loaded onto a private plane at Miami International Airport for transport to the Bahamas for her funeral.

This followed an almost hour-long journey, during which the casket was accompanied by a significant police escort, and as local news sources reported, highways in south Florida were blocked off to traffic to avoid any tampering with the body.

The Miami Herald reported that at least 60 members of the news media and six helicopters were following the body on its trip to the airport.

31. Pink Cover on casket....not pink casket per se....it ain't over yet...there is a lot more to come. Her family there or not there, it remains a circus...and when she is finally taken home with her son Daniel the family will be able to bury her with respect. It will happen, this is a temp burial so that HKS can keep up the sham of loving her and the baby and wanting to honor her wishes.....he will go down...any mother who gives birth, tries to raise a teenager with strong will....and then goes through what VA did, (we don't have to watch years of this on tv, slut, drugs, hangers on) and we want to take our children home again and put them to rest in peace and quiet. Why the money....that court case might never get settled, or Marshall's family could prevail in the end....also the boat that HKS had purchased (writing checks and signing her name and sneaking out of Florida) is he going to hop on that boat and go out to sea when the heat comes down on him...they should have a "stay" on him, once the baby goes with the "real" father or grandmother, Stern could skip out! Sure we keep watching, more and more info is coming to light, and just what kinda love HKS had for ANS. "How many of them are riding the Gravy Train right now?" Watch it unfold and derail in the end.

32. They shipped Anna Nicole Smith's body in a "Texas Tube Steak?" That's what a Metro III turboprop is called.

They're crawling along at 11,000 ft. and 262 knots over the Gulf enroute to Nassau.

33. WHAT DOES GOERGE BUSH HAVE TO DO WITH THIS CIRCUS? i PERSONALLY THINK THAT WE ARE DOING GOOD OVER THERE AND ALOT OF AMERICA IS JUST BRAINWASHED BY THE CONSTANT COVERAGE OF WHAT WE ARE DOING BAD. i GUESS SOME WOULD WANT THE INSURGENTS AND THE TERRORISTS TO CONTINUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WE JUST PULL OUR TROOPS OUT. THOSE TROOPS VOLUNTEERED AND THEY WANT US TO SUPPORT THEM, NOT CONTINUOSLY TELL THEM THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING EITHER ILLEGAL OR WORSE. THERE ARE A FEW BAD SEEDS IN THE ALL-VOLUNTEER SERVICE AND THATS WHAT YOU GUYS BASE MOST OF YOUR THOUGHTS ON. WHY DONT YOU SEE THAT IF CLINTON WOULD'VE BALLED UP AND TOOK CARE OF THIS (SADDAM, AND BIN LADEN) WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT RIGHT NOW. bUT BECAUSE GEORGE BUSH HAD THE GUTS TO DO IT YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS CRYING IN YOUR BEER ABOUT IT. ALSO THE DEMS AND THERE FRIENDS ARE STILL UPSET ABOUT GEORGE BUSH WINNING IN 2000, AND HAVE TRIED TO TAINT HIS PRESIDENCY EVER SINCE DAY ONE. NOW THEY HAVE THE CONTROL OF CONGRESS AND THE HOUSE BUT WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO FIX ANY PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY, NOTHING. IF WE ALL JUST BANDED TOGETHER TO SUPPORT OUR PEOPLE BOTH OVER THERE AND OUR PRESIDENT WE COULD DO ALOT TO HELP THE WAY THE MIDDLE EAST SEES US. yET WE BICKER AND THAT GIVES THEM HOPE THAT WE WILL CHICKEN OUT AND BAIL.

36. You would think the US would be more interested in our soldiers who are dying on a daily basis in Iraq and that they would be receiving the coverage they need to be inspired to continue fighting for their country. Their efforts and loyalty to our country would be appreciated more. No, oh no, Anna Nicole is dead GET OVER IT. She wasn't even a President, please stop with this idiotic coverage. There are more important celebrities who work helping children around the world, cover Angelina Jolie instead.

38. All of this is sick!
Virgie is being painted Mommy Dearest, well I think she was trying to save ANS from all the Promiscuity, and stripping life styleby beating her A--.
If it were my Daughter,and I am no child abuser, I would have put something on her butt as well in an attempt to discourage the train wreck life.
HKS kept her drugged, and moved her out of the country to manipulate. He sees $$$$ only.
You can in many films see the disgust in his sorry face for her antics.
Karma will kick his butt !!!
Vergie is the next of kin, and HKS manipuilated her ANS into that film making to discredit her Mom. All this is wrong.
Has the baby been medically tested for all the drugs she was subjected to? No one seems to care about what is really important. What happened to Dannie? Why was HKS allowed to flush drugs. So many unanswered questions.
Mo and his wife are pawns for HKS, and will end up with nothing. If his wife was a Nurse, why was she doing CPR on a bed. Nurses know better, I am one ,and are skilled in life saving procedures.
Too many holes, and HKS think he is getting away by overshadowing these poor people from Tx, but right (karma) will prevail.
This is all so sad. ANS ,Daniel,Dannielyn, Vergie all were manipulated by this slick HKS.They were all hicks (no direspect) anna included, and were and still is being taken advantage of.
How sad indeed.

39. Such a sad, sad story. Hopefully she will find peace. In the meantime, I don't think Elton John is being very nice to her.

40. The sad fact in this whole situation is that there is a baby that may possibly have neuological problems for the rest of her life due to Anna Nicole's drug problems. Anna never took responsibility for the health of the child she was caring in her body. But now that the body is laid to rest, the mortals can have Peace. Anna was at Peace the day she died and joined Daniel.

41. Who is paying for all this? Not Howard..he never had a pot to piss in...loser. Is it ET? They have been paying quite a bit to Howard...ugly sniviling loser...and never say anything against him so they can have an exclusive...why don't they ask him how it came to be that 2 people died on his watch? Why did he leave ANS in the hotel room that morning to check out the yacht..that she was paying for...if she was so sick and/or drugged up? Did he give her a shot before he left so she wouldn't leave the room without him there? He is a murderer..maybe accidental, but a murderer none the less.

42. Who wants to be that Judge Seidlen shows up at the funeral with his own TV crew. He should hope he gets his own Court TV show because he should be removed from the bench. He made a mockery of the judicial system and Milstein is loving his grand role in the show also, he is auditioning to be Judge Seidlen's Bailiff........idiot control freaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

43. Unbelievable! Will the flags be at half mast also?? Who do they expect will be"tampering" with the body ? The things this says about our society is not wholesome. Whether AHS will "Rest in Peace",or not, depends on her actions in this world,not ours. MAy God have mercy on us all...

44. 13. MIKE THE TRUTH:

Cheer up --

The Bahamian government is already letting U.S. law-enforcement officials quietly begin criminal investigations down there into various aspects of this whole sorry mess; they are only waiting for the Bahamian furor to settle before going after Howie publicly and full-throttle on various charges.

The U.S. and the Bahamas also have an extradition treaty. It won't be ignored for the sake of Koward.

(Besides, if money is all the Bahamians care about -- which I personally don't think is true, Dannielynn's the one with the bucks. Also, they wouldn't have let the U.S. begin questioning there.)

What's coming up is several SERIOUS criminal charges, numerous civil issues, IRS investigation of Koward and his family, a Bahamian investigation into fraud, etc ... and doubtless more will be added.

The prinicpals have only been fighting about where a burial was to take place -- The real meat -- numerous CRIMINAL charges, is coming up and will be very in-depth and meticulous. The burial brouhaha is going to pale in comparison.

I worked in the criminal justice field for several years. Cops don't like smooth attorneys who think they themselves are above the law, especially in reference to what's been going down in the Anna Nicole case.

You can bet good money that, even as we speak, there is a small army of pissed-off detectives interviewing, investigating, documenting, and putting two-and-two together -- in excruciating detail.

We're about to see the beginning of the REAL show:

********************************************************

EVERYONE WANTS THEIR 15 MINUTES OF FAME...ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE ALL OUT TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF ANNA NICOLE...WHILE THEY MAY BE INVESTIGATING IT IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO HAE THEIR NAMES ATTACHED TO THIS WHOLE SORDID MESS BECAUSE IT LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER THAT THEY WERE A PART OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING....

I'M SORRY BUT MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL...THE AUTHORITIES ARE NO EXCEPTION...IN FACT, THEY ARE THE WORST SOMETIMES BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO "LEGALLY" BREAK THE LAW AND GET AWAY WITH IT...

45. When heavy questioning starts and the criminal charges begin getting filed, all the rats are going to DIVE off that sinking ship as fast as ever they can -- wait and see.

Popcorn, anyone?
