Casey Anthony Drops Selfish Act and Provides Vital Details About Daughter's Whereabouts

August 25, 2008

Casey AnthonyOr, at least, that is what Casey Anthony's family would like us to believe. Unfortunately, it is a fantasy that is not grounded in reality. Here we are, nearly a week since her release from jail, and we have yet to see Anthony step up to the plate and take the lead in a single search for her missing 3-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.

Casey Is As Casey Does

Instead, Casey Anthony remains too self-absorbed to care about anyone, let alone her own flesh and blood. No, her first priority - her only priority - upon her release, was herself. The first thing she asked for, according to bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, was a hot shower. Apparently, Caylee's fate was not as important as Casey's desire to feel fresh.

Who's The Sucker?Leonard Padilla

And what of Padilla? Is he a sucker or does he have his own agenda? If you recall, last week, Padilla told us that he would get to the bottom of Caylee's disappearance in less than a week. However, he has since changed his tune, claiming that Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, won't let him talk to Anthony. I'm curious: Did Baez lead Padilla to think he would have a shot at her, and then back out after her release, or is Padilla involved only to further his own career and promote his new TV show?

Me...Me...Me...Dancing With the Devil

What I find even more twisted is that Anthony has been meeting with her attorney to, according to sources close to the investigation, "discuss her defense." That's right; she is allegedly meeting with her attorney to discuss her own defense. What a joke. So much for the promise that she would get down and dirty in the hunt for her daughter. In reality, I bet Anthony would much rather forget this entire ordeal happened. Then, she could get down and dirty on the dance floor, as she did in the weeks following Caylee's disappearance.

Oh, but wait. Now, Baez and the Anthony family's spokesperson, Larry Garrison, are saying that Anthony has provided them with information that backs up her initial kidnapping statements. Interesting. However, the detectives investigating the case say they have not heard from Anthony or her attorney since her release. So then, what are they doing with this "information?" Squirreling it away for trial? That's what is important, right – keeping Casey Anthony out of jail.

Do As I Say - Not As I Do

Meanwhile, we have Cindy Anthony, the ever camera-loving family cheerleader, releasing a statement this weekend about the media's coverage of the case. That statement read, in part: "All you want is your next picture. I refuse to see you cast aside the search for Caylee."

You're absolutely right, Cindy. We do want our next picture. We want to see a photo of Caylee showing her safe and happy. That's what we want! Speaking for myself, I don't think I can stand to look at another photo of Casey's smug face.

Play a Violin for that Gal

It's also interesting how she mentions the media casting aside the search for Caylee. Come on, Cindy, isn't that a speech you should be giving your daughter? Perhaps people would be more inclined to be sympathetic if she would make a single effort to find Caylee.

A Day Late and...

The Anthony family has now threatened to "blacklist" any media organizations that don't play by their rules. What a joke. Blacklist them from what? The Anthony's haven't provided a single relevant bit of information to the media since day one. Instead, we've gotten a lot of empty promises, which have now been followed by empty threats.

Triple Dog Dare

Do you seriously want people to leave you alone, Casey? If so, then start talking! Let's hear what you have to say for yourself. Your family has my number and my e-mail. I'm all ears.
