The Birmingham News ran a correction today in an effort to clear up a bit of misleading reporting in the Jill Simpson affidavit story. The story is related to the U.S. prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and HealthSouth founder Richard Scrushy and to the scandals surrounding the Bush administration’s politization of the U.S. justice system. Chances are, you read it here first…

A headline Saturday on page 1D referred to two people who have given affidavits that could relate to the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman as “Siegelman advocates.” Although the affidavits raise questions about the Siegelman case, Jill Simpson, a Republican lawyer from Rainsville, said she hadn’t met Siegelman, nor had she represented him. Mark Bollinger, a business associate’s of Simpson’s, also said he hadn’t worked for Siegelman.

Corrections and Clarifications

The truth will emerge in this case yet. Could it be that Gov. Bob Riley stole the 2002 election from Siegelman in Bay Minette afterall, with a little help from some pictures of a Democrat putting up Riley for Governor signs at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Jackson County?

There may not be a newspaper in Christendom that will be able to figure this one out, and surely no TV news outlet. Stay tuned. We’re on it…
