Anna's Bahamian Minister Pal Resigns

Shane Gibson, the Bahamas' immigration minister, was forced to resign yesterday after speculation loomed that he had given Smith preferential treatment in gaining residency.Photos of Gibson and Smith in a fully-clothed but nonetheless cozy clinch were splashed on the front pages of Nassau newspapers last week. Gibson denied any sexual relationship and any wrongdoing and called the speculation "vicious and wicked lies," but he still issued a public apology Sunday night for having "offended" the Bahamian people with his actions.
