alabama gov released from jail

The Birmingham News is breaking the story that the 11th Circuit Appeal Court is letting him out. The arch-republican attorney general is "disappointed". He's going to be even more disappointed when he gets to take over the cell. There was an amazing expose by 60 Minutes about the case. Karl Rove pressured a staffer to find some dirt on the guy (á la Spitzer) but he was clean. So they played dirty and got him charged on some trumped up corruption charges. The district attorney and judge are republican hacks. Another weird note: the 60 Minutes episode was mysteriously bumped from the air in a big chunk of Alabama. The station claimed there were transmission problems and later backtracked and made some other excuse. Unbelievable.
