Wanted: Somebody who knows journalism. Television experience not required.

THIS JUST IN: Hot on the heels of his decisions regarding Don Imus and Virginia Tech, NBC News president Steve Capus has hired a veteran journalist to act as his Jiminy Cricket... and help get those mass murderer photos on line even quicker.

And, to put it bluntly, if crassly: Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson should be pleased, as well...
