Baby Mama: Dash Owes Me Cash!

TMZ has obtained a crazazy petition filed by Damon Dash's ex-baby mama, the latest howitzer in their never-ending custody war.
Damon Das
In the petition, Linda Williams claims that 16-year-old son Damon Dash II, aka "Boogie," says he was "living with not hot water [sic] or electricity for two months in his bedroom," and that Damon took him to the morgue to ID an uncle who committed suicide by gunshot to the head. Worst of all, Damon didn't spring for $3,600 for hoops camp.

Williams says Damon has been cagey over a promise to put $10 mil in trust for the kid.

No word from DD's rep.

16. Just another ridiculous "baby mama" story! I really don't understand what has happened to society................If you can't afford to bring a child into the world and take care of it properly then, DON'T HAVE CHILDREN!

17. Damon Dash has custody of his son and a restraining order out on this crazy chick. Do you know how bad you have to be as a mother to have a judge award custody to the father. They have been going through this custody battle for yeaaaaaaaaaaaars. He petitioned for custody because the mother is unstable. She is now bitter that he has custody and is trying to make his life miserable. She couldn't even get a lawyer to file on her behalf.

19. Um...I thought that child support was only for a child's NECESSITIES (food, clothing, shelter)! Basketball camp is NOT a necessity! As for the kid living in his "bedroom" with no electricity or hot water...I agree with another poster, were there no other rooms or water sources in the house he's living in?

22. Why don't these rappers at least pick something other than a hood rat to bed when they know they are not going to be using condoms? And why is this chick living in a building where they would be no hot water? I mean come on. Linda Williams needs to move or get a better job. It's not like he has to pay child support forever. If she wanted a free ride then she should have been knocked up by 'Diddy'. LOL!!!!!!!

"Linda Williams is a gold digger. I'm not sayin' she has to mess with a broke-broke ----" Don't they have laws against gold digging. If not maybe I'll run for City Council and introduce some legislation. As a female it's embarrasing to see these chicks get away with this baby farming business.

25. McCain Has Two Standards on Drug Abuse
The GOP candidate is a hawk in the drug war, yet his wife got no penalty

Stanton Peele



Much has been made of allegations of possible youthful use of illegal drugs by Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush. Meanwhile, his chief GOP opponent, Arizona Sen. John McCain, has admitted that his wife not only illegally used drugs but walked away from criminal charges. The McCains have worked to make Cindy McCain's addiction into a political asset—despite the fact that she stole the drugs from a charity she directed and used them while mothering four young children.

In 1994, Mrs. McCain admitted that she had solicited prescriptions for painkillers from physicians who worked for an international charity that she founded, the American Voluntary Medical Team. She then filled the prescriptions in the names of her staff.

There are two ways to react to this behavior. According to the Betty Ford model, people can sympathetically respond to the oppressed and ignored wife of a busy politician who has bravely come forward to admit her overpowering addiction. Mrs. McCain took this posture when she first tearfully confessed her addiction. She and her husband repeated this performance in October on the NBC program "Dateline."

The other possible public reaction is one of anger. Americans are prosecuted every day for such drug use. While most drug abusers purchase their drugs from street dealers, Mrs. McCain used her status as a charity director and senator's wife to cajole the drugs she wanted.

In fact, Mrs. McCain was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration after the agency was approached by a former staff member of her charity. The investigation resulted in no charges or prison time for her, and she entered a diversion program. While these records were not made public at the time, Mrs. McCain eventually confessed her drug use when she learned that a reporter was investigating the story.

Is Mrs. McCain to be judged as a pitiable victim or as a criminal felon? This debate is at the heart of the discussion of American drug policy. Should we deal with illicit drug users as victims or as criminals?

Let's examine Mrs. McCain's position in these terms. She was the privileged wife of a prominent family and spouse of an important politician, a person who had her own position of prestige and power. Should she not be held at least as accountable for her actions as an uneducated inner-city drug user? After all, she could enter drug treatment at any time she chose, unlike many drug users who find themselves in prison.

Moreover, Mrs. McCain was violating a position of trust by stealing from a charitable organization, using its money and medical expertise to fuel her drug use. Is this not morally more reprehensible than simply purchasing drugs illegally?

Finally, Mrs. McCain was the mother of four children at the time she admits to using drugs—between 1989 and 1992. Her children were born in 1984, 1986, 1988 and 1991. In other words, Cindy McCain was using drugs while raising small children, one of whom she adopted while she was an addict. In most states, family services will remove children from a woman who is known to be an active drug addict, and she would certainly not be allowed to adopt a child while addicted.

John McCain is a hawk in the drug war. He advocates stricter drug laws, penalties and enforcement against drug sellers. He has had nothing to say about redressing our punitive approach toward drug users. Of course, McCain also supports family values. Yet if John and Cindy McCain were not well-off and influential, they might not have a family at all. McCain's lack of concern for street drug users contrasts sharply with the support and understanding his wife received. It's the old American double standard. For "straight-shooter" McCain, charity begins at home—and ends there.

26. Um, who is this guy? He looks like he's got down's syndrome. I'm not surprised his baby-momma can't put a grammatically correct sentence together.

29. FYI #8 -- You are a "II" if you have a different middle name from your father. You have to have an identical name to be a Jr.
