I dunno about him, but she has a knot on her head that when she was little we would grab and steer her around by
Dr. Joshua Perper and the annals of unasked questions
Dr. Joshua Perper, the coroner who handled the autopsy of Anna Nicole Smith, has a lump near the top of his head.
The lump is quite apparent because he has little hair on his head. It protrudes just to the left of the skull crown, and looks to be about the size of half a baseball.
Dr. Perper, pictured here in a photo that doesn't do justice to his lump, speaks with an accent whose origin I can't quite divine, but he's well-spoken and appears to be quite intelligent, so the lump evidently has not impaired his intellect, based on his nightly appearances on the cable news television networks.
Still, the lump remains, night after night, unexplained to world TV watchers who are following the developments regarding the final disposition of Anna Nicole Smith's remains, estate, infant daughter, lovers, and so forth.
I suppose it would be unprofessional for one of the cable TV news hosts to suddenly ask, "By the way, Dr. Perper, forgive me but our viewers have been emailing and calling and they wants to know, what is the lump on your head?"
Yet the question remains unasked by the media, leaving the world cable TV news audience in the dark, uninformed and wondering.
This morning, I heard someone say, "If he's a doctor, why can't he fix that lump on his head?"
The question was posed not in a TV studio, live on the air, but in a living room where Dr. Perper and his lump have been appearing on a daily basis on the television.
The question cries out to be asked. And, in fact, it has been asked, but not by the professional news gatherers who have been covering every angle to the Anna Nicole Smith story, save for Dr. Perper's head lump.
So, how 'bout it news media?
