Charlie's Show Prep #104

• Michael Jackson is headed for Tokyo. That's why he needed to get a passport. Wait...wrong Michael Jackson.

• Speaking of Alderman Thriller, he declared, "Given my recent arrest in civil court, I believe there is less than equal protection under the law for elected officials." I agree. Judging from Lee Holloway's slap on the wrist elected officials get treated less harshly.

  Then there's the record of a Michael I. Jackson involved in a car accident in 1996. That person never paid his $6000 judgement. McGee/Jackson says, "I don't have a record of consistently using that name" and "I don't recall that." Odd responses, but this is Alderman Thriller we're talking about.

• Someone from Reuters sent some nasty hate mail to a weblogger. Yes, that media bias. [via In the Bullpen]

• President Bush sealed Congressman William Jefferson's files taken by the FBI last weekend. Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner will hold hearings next week on the FBI raid.

• Wacko British member of parliment George Galloway told GQ it would me "morally justified" for a suicide bomber to kill Tony Blair. Galloway happened to profit from the Iraq Oil-for-Food scandal.

• A million people are expected at Pope Benedict's mass in Warsaw.
