Because there is this sticky situation called Iraq that the government would rather you not think about. Isn't the First Lady so funny HA HA HA!

Why does the media find it so important for us to worry when upper-middle class white people do out of the ordinary things anyway (other than when the government orders them to gloss over war stuff as noted above?) Like Scott and Laci Peterson or Elizabeth Smart being national news for no reason? Us "too browns" have money too sometimes, y'know

It got major news because the media was salivating like hungry dogs to wait for John Mason's confession that he killed her and tossed her ass in the woods. They were hoping it was Scott Peterson 2.

What? I don't understand the white guys got the "My Bitch is Gone" Questionnare up to the meeting?
Oh shit this bitch was trying get someone killed. It seems she also claimed she was raped.
GAINESVILLE, Ga. - Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks said she was "truly sorry for the troubles I caused," but insisted her flight was prompted by issues that went beyond simple cold feet. Her family pastor cautioned Friday that she still needed time to heal.
In a statement read Thursday by the Rev. Tom Smiley, Wilbanks said she her flight by bus to Las Vegas and eventually to Albuquerque was not in response to her pending wedding, which had been scheduled four days after she vanished.
"Those who know me know how excited I've been, and how excited I was about the spectacular wedding we planned, and how I could not wait to be Mrs. John Mason," the statement said.
She said her flight was the result of "a host of compelling issues, which seemed out of control."
Wilbanks, whose three-day disappearance led to a nationwide search and a media sensation, initially told investigators she had been abducted by a Hispanic male and white woman with a handgun, a story that quickly unraveled.
Albuquerque, N.M., police said Thursday that Wilbanks also claimed she had been sexually assaulted, but recanted with the rest of her story.
Wilbanks said she has asked for the forgiveness of Mason, her fiance; their families, friends, churches and communities; "and any others I may have offended unintentionally," adding that she was "deeply grateful and appreciative to everyone who responded on my behalf."
Many in the community expressed disgust when they learned that she had run off without telling anyone.
But Smiley said Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America" he has received hundreds of e-mails about Wilbanks and they have been "99 percent positive."
Wilbanks has not said publicly whether she still plans to marry Mason, but Smiley, who has been counseling Wilbanks, said Mason has been supportive.
"The number one concern is for her to get a handle on what's going on in her life," he said. Asked about her progress, he said, "We live in such an instant society today, and everyone wants everything right now, and that's just not possible."
Wilbanks' attorney, Lydia Sartain, has said her client is seeking professional help and is in no condition to publicly answer questions.
Her statement did not address Duluth Mayor Shirley Lasseter's request that she repay the city for the costs of the search and perform community service.
Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter is investigating possible criminal charges against Wilbanks for falsely reporting a crime. Porter said Thursday night he was awaiting an FBI report on Wilbanks' statements to authorities in Albuquerque.
Her statement also did not specifically address her false claim that a Hispanic man had abducted her. But Fernando Mateo, the president of the group Hispanics Across America, backed down from his threat to protest outside her home, saying members were satisfied with her general apology.
"Our purpose was not to crucify this woman but just to let the nation know they can't freely use the name 'Hispanic' in a stereotyping manner where Hispanics are perceived to be thugs and criminals," he said.

good gravy.
Personally, I'm downright LIVID that the media was so quick to imply that the husband is likely responsible for her disappearance! Just because he's white! And then attack her constantly when it's discovered that it was cold feet..... just because she's white! DAMN YOOUUUU, AMERICA!!
Damnit, white people always blaming white people!
Ok, that is outrageous. Where did you read this?Shadow Red said:

Don't play coy Socreges, we've all seen this movie before. You really think that if this broad ended you face first in a lake that anyone would have been looking for a supicious looking white woman? We know how this plays out. If she would have been missing one more day they would have put an APB on a Mexican man between 25 and 35 years old height 4' 11" to 6' 2" dark hair blue jeans and and a tee shirt last seen in a vehicle with or without tags.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
So no they are saying the reason she ran was not because of cold feet, but because the husband would not lay the pipe until after the wedding. Wow I only thought guys wanted sex before the wedding.
