Shepard Smith spins the veg-a-thon

Damn near did a Danny Thomas spit-take on this one.

While CNN was covering live the release of the Schiavo autopsy reports (significant brain atrophy, no signs of abuse, definitive persistent vegetative state, cortical blindness), FOX News was still para-sailing in Aruba.

But then Shephard Smith's slot began and he reported, very briefly, on the autopsy findings. Then he sighed and said something about "all that nonsense everybody and the government put us through."

Update Here it is: the transcript of Smith's comments from earlier today, upon the release of the Schiavo autopy findings:
You have to wonder, if all of that nonsense that the country went through and that so many politicians put us through, was good for us? We'll break it all down in a few minutes.
Truly amazing!
