Elizabeth Albanese cited by Dallas Press Club !!

Accused by her peers of:

"[D]ishonest and fraudulent activity."

Adapted from Jeff Carlton's AP article in San Antonio EXPRESS-NEWS for Wednesday, May 2, 2007.

"DALLAS -- The Press Club of Dallas is suing its former president, accusing her of rigging the club's journalism competition for at least the past two years.

"[Elizabeth] Albanese engaged in fraud, breached her fiduciary duty to the press club and violated the Texas Theft Liability Act, according to the suit.

"Albanese became involved with the judging of the Katie Awards around 2003, when she won the first of her 10 prizes.

"She was president from August 2005 until March this year.

"During most of her tenure as press club president, Albanese was the Dallas bureau chief for the Bond Buyer, a New York - based financial publication aimed at people in the municipal bond industry.

"She was fired late last month."

I don't understand why anyone would want to win so much. Maybe she just wanted some attention.

Why do people get wrapped up in such a mess?

Good point!

I guess maybe it's like saying:

"I'm a gonna be SOMEBODY -- even if I don't myself have the foggiest notion of WHO or WHAT.

"'Cause what do Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have that I DON'T?"

Just a thought!

Thanks!
