Is it just me, or is "Code Pink's" newest member actually prettier than Cindy Sheehan?

The murder case of pop music legend Phil Spector went to the jury Monday, but not without some final fireworks from the music producer's camp.
Before jurors were instructed on how to determine whether Spector is guilty of murdering actress Lana Clarkson, Spector's wife snapped at Judge Larry Paul Fidler after he ordered her to stop speaking to the media.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court judge also addressed a news report printed Sunday in which Spector reportedly said Fidler did not like him. Spector's attorneys denied that he had made the remarks.
Rachelle Spector, 27, had defended her 67-year-old husband last week on Court TV, prompting Fidler to warn lawyers to keep the parties out of the media so they do not improperly influence jurors. On Sunday, she sent an e-mail saying she had posted the video interview on her personal website.
That prompted a direct warning from Fidler. "Mrs. Spector, I want you to hear every comment I am about to make," he declared in the courtroom without jurors present.

On Sunday, another diatribe attributed to Spector appeared in a British newspaper, the Mail. It quoted Spector as saying he was standing eight feet from Clarkson when she shot herself. It also quoted him as saying, "I'm in the hands of 12 people who voted for George Bush."
Spector attorney Linda Kenney Baden said in court that he never made such statements "about this jury," and asked the judge for permission to speak to the media to refute the alleged remarks.
Vikram Jayanti, author of the article, told the Associated Press that Spector had spoken before the trial, and his quotes did not refer to the present jurors.

Good call . He actually looks like a cross between Sheehan and Medea Benjamin , the leader of Code Stink .
Spector should be convicted, but the is CA.
12 Bush Voters in LA????
She really IS delusional
Hey, no insinuating Spector is a foot tapper here, Melt. This is a family forum. Dang, is that lipstick and powder on his face? Guilty. Of many things.
It also quoted him as saying, “I’m in the hands of 12 people who voted for George Bush.”
Mwuh ha ha ha ha!
Execute him in the traditional manner. Place him between the Moose and the Cheese!
;-)
Only in the insane asylum called L.A. could emotional freaks and idiot savants like Spector or Michael Jackson have an entourage ferrying them around from courtroom to psychiatrist to pharmacist and back to home.
Have to wonder how the judge can do this based on what else I have observed...A while back a judge in the LA area took serious offense to the afternoon bubbas (John and Ken) at KFI. As I recall he was reviewing their show daily etc. However he never ordered them to stop *commenting* on the on going trial in his court. The wife’s comments are mild by comparision and much more limited in scope and distribution.
Any clues?
Good question — I don’t know how he gets jurisdiction over her.
Separated at birth?
She’s married to Phil Spector yet criticizes Bush voters?
LOL . . wow, we can’t make this stuff up.
The happy couple in Feb.
Like murder, perhaps?
Yes. But he might have missed a new twist on an old defense. He may have BDS, given his earlier comments that his fate lay in the hands of 12 persons who voted for Bush. BDS, a type of insanity, may be a valid defense, melt.
It will need to be considered for inclusion in the PDR and APA compendiums before it is officially recognized, however. Limbaugh discovered this malady several years ago. He should get an honorary degree and a grant.
is that second picture jimmy carter in drag?
err... well.. naked with makeup on? or something?
His lawyer should have cited mental impairment as a defense and this would long be over.
