Says more about the corrupt state than the corrupt press of today.

Remember the scripted press conference the night before the Iraq invasion? The press corpse all acted like zombies, asking questions in the order asked by Smirko. He even joked with "Stretch" about asking a question out of turn and then said, "Heh heh heh," and went on to kill a million innocent people for their oil and whatever else Wall Street warmongers and banksters could pilfer.

What says it all: He's not in prison. Don Siegelman is.
