THIS MAY NOT WORK OUT - AT 7:14 A.M. ET:  It seems that we here in New York are about to have a guest:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The captured Somali pirate who held a merchant ship captain hostage will be brought to New York to face trial, a U.S. official said Thursday.

The suspect, identified as Abduhl Wal-i-Musi, was taken aboard a U.S. Navy ship shortly before Navy SEAL snipers killed the three remaining pirates holding Capt. Richard Phillips hostage on a lifeboat launched from his cargo vessel, the Maersk Alabama.

The official said it was not immediately clear when Wal-i-Musi will be brought to New York. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose information about an ongoing investigation.

COMMENT:  Oh, can you just imagine!  A pirate of color being tried in New York.  You have no idea what's about to happen here.  Every lawyer with leftist credentials will be vying to represent this misunderstood youth, whose only crime was to want to help his family and defeat American imperialism, colonialism, racism, sexism, and rheumatism.  Oh, the injustice.  Oh, the anguish.  Watch for a lawyer named Cohen and another one named Warren.  They're at the top of the list, now that Lynne Stewart has been sidelined by legal charges.

And our juries!  Not only would some New York juries have acquitted O.J. Simpson, they would have awarded him damages. 

And the demonstrators.  We have the very best here, thoroughly trained by the Ramsey Clark School of Anarchy. 

I can't wait to see those CNN reporters show the human side of piracy. 

Another opening, another show.
