---------
THE COURT: The President and the Vice President are also on the cover, are they not?

MS. HANSWIRTH: Yes, they are.

THE COURT: Is someone going to think that they are affiliated with Fox?

MS. HANSWIRTH: I think Mr. Franken does.
---------------

THE COURT: Of course, it is ironic that a media company that should be seeking to protect the First Amendment is seeking to undermine it by claiming a monopoly on the phrase "fair and balanced." The motion for a preliminary injunction is denied.

2. I want that clear thinking judge on all the freedom of speech issues in

the US, especially all those putrid acts trials. (Yeah, like there are any.) Thanks for sharing.

4. I can practically see the judge...

...rolling his/her eyes during this discourse. The whole thing was ludicrous from the start, and the judge's questions clearly indicate that.

Thanks for a great read!
