Marky #34, no Wilson’s wife or Valerie Plame here, just someone named Valerie Flame.

Looseheadprop #45, you beat me to it. I’m wondering, as a non-lawyer, if the bait in the filing was possibly intended to get Fitzgerald interested in an immunity deal. This is, I’m sure, a naive question, but doesn’t the defense have better ways of communicating with the prosecutor?

And since I usually just lurk, I want to make sure I say a gigantic THANK YOU to Redd for her analysis, and the rest of you for your insights.

So, if they cite “Executive Privilege†and refuse, does that neuter the case against Libby?

Nixon claimed Privilege over the tapes and the SCOTUS shut hime down, so maybe not?

I’d say so. I don’t know which corporation Comedy Central is a part of, but it’s sure to have holdings all over the world.

I wonder what all those “South Park conservatives” will have to say about this episode…

NEW YORK (April 13) – Banned by Comedy Central from showing an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the creators of “South Park” skewered their own network for hypocrisy in the cartoon’s most recent episode.

The comedy – in an episode aired during Holy Week for Christians – instead featured an image of Jesus Christ defecating on President Bush and the American flag.

In an elaborately constructed two-part episode of their Peabody Award-winning cartoon, “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker intended to comment on the controversy created by a Danish newspaper’s publishing of caricatures of Muhammad. Muslims consider any physical representation of their prophet to be blasphemous.

When the cartoons were reprinted in newspapers worldwide in January and February, it sparked a wave of protests primarily in Islamic countries.

Parker and Stone were angered when told by Comedy Central several weeks ago that they could not run an image of Muhammad, according to a person close to the show who didn’t want to be identified because of the issue’s sensitivity.

The network’s decision was made over concerns for public safety, the person said.

Comedy Central said in a statement issued Thursday: “In light of recent world events, we feel we made the right decision.” Its executives would not comment further…
