It's Saturday. It's the Saturday show. We have one from the vault and one from the week for you.

From the week, I did a spiel about Laura Lumer, really about the coverage of Laura Lumer.

So many spills I do turn into press criticism. But it is a public service. Let's say you didn't read all those stories about Laura Lumer.

So I'll talk about that and you'll get a sense of Governor Westmore of Maryland, I noted that he is not an advocate for
