Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Saddam Hussein has been captured in Tikrit. The press conference is about to start...
Update (7:20 am): No shots were fired in the raid ("Operation Red Dawn") outside the town of Adwar, about 15 km from Tikrit. Hussein was found in a "spiderhole," a 6-8 foot hole with room enough for a man to lie down. They just showed video of Saddam being examined. Some Arab journalists in the room are very excited. Much shouting at the screen.
TrackBackESPN is going to hire him to do commentary on the NFL pre-game show.

Maybe a joint gig with Howard Stern.
