Talk show host pleads guilty to using child porn

Bernie Ward , a well known liberal talk show host of KGO AM in San Francisco is pleading guilty to charges of using and distributing child pornography. I thought it was worth a mention here because it won't get much play in the regular news media.
Lemme just hook up a few links and a video .
Hopefully you can grab the news before it fades into oblivion. You can get a fair amount of detail at the Counterpunch, where he's been followed for some time.
Apparently this guy has a good deal of online interactive fun relating to the child porn appetite. Bernie Ward's lawyers are claiming that he was researching a book on child porn. I'd say he got a little CONSUMED by his investigations. Apparently a minimum 5 year sentence awaits this guy. But I think that Child porn producers and users, with good evidence against them, should be locked away for keeps. We don't need 'em.

Blatherwatch has a a bit of detail and a picture of Bernie Ward which bears a pretty good resemblance to Jabba the Hutt.
