Don Siegelman was the Democratic governor of Alabama. He is now sitting in federal prison, after being convicted of bribery. Siegelman was elected in 1998 but was defeated under suspicious circumstances in 2002. There is evidence that the election was stolen. There is also evidence that his prosecution was selective, and took place on orders from Karl Rove.

60 Minutes recently postponed the airing of a report on his case, giving rise to worries that the story would be spiked. Fortunately it will be broadcast this Sunday, February 24th at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. So please give up the oscar night red carpet show and watch 60 Minutes. There will be endless television and internet coverage of who wore what in Hollywood, Siegelman needs you to watch some real news. Who knows? Maybe Karl Rove will end up in jail some day. I guess that is the audacity of hope.
