    Default Anna Nicole v. Scooter Libby...

    Come on, if the Corporate Conservative Media really was a liberal media why would they be trying to distract America from the real news?

    That judge in the Anna Nichole Smith case is the strongest argument against elected judges I have ever seen. He is an embarassment to the judicial system. I'd hate to be a lawyer in his court, as soon as you ask two questions he interrupts to ask 5 of his own and invite a jury member to ask a few as well....
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    I have appeared in front of him. I saw him on television last night. THe guy is not so animated or so nice when the camera is not in his courtroom. I think he is a laughing stock.

    Yep the judge might be a laughing stock, but that does not address the issue opened in this thread.

    The guy is a former NYC Taxi Cab driver. He campaigned on that fact and it might have been what got him elected.

    This is why Anna Nicole is getting more airplay...

    You brought this thread up talking about two trials, and the discussion goes straight to the Anna Nicole ordeal.... it's just more interesting to the common viewer.

    I can't turn on cable news without hearing about this crap. Especially Fox News - its pratically all they talk about. MSNBC isnt' much better. CNN is probably covering this the least, but they're still going overboard.

    I am so sorry that this is true. The past couple of weeks when I turn on a "news" show and they start talking about Anna Nicole (or Brittany Spears as of late) I immediatly start surfing.

    I did one better yesterday. When I go home from work, my boy and I didn't go in the house or turn on the TV until after 6:30, and then it was to watch Spongebob. We stayed outside and played. That was much more fun.

    Watch PBS NewsHour, or BBC International if you don't want to hear about crap like this.

    Me too. Actually, they're the only "real" news shows on TV. The rest of cable news in 95% crap and info-tainment.
