And, of course, Supreme Court litigant.

I hope she had a will.

There's been a spate of morbid giddiness sweeping the newsroom since the first advisory moved.

I snickered at Adam's comment. Does that make me a bad person?

When I clicked on the Trib's link to the story the ad was for a Hoodia weight loss product, which seems to be dubious placement.

Five points to anyone who can rough out a really bad "Candle in the Wind" parody today.

Well...

Goodbye Vicki Lynn
Though we knew way too much about it all
You had the guts to sell TrimSpa
While your little baby bawled
They asked you to be a speaker
Even though you had no brain
They had you appear in men's mags
And they made you change your name.

And it seems to me that you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing how to live life
Much less to raise a kid
And we knew far too much about you
At least those who watched E! did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

While not perfect, I submit my effort is better than the Daily News' "Scandal In The Wind" headline.

Just needs a reference to her late husband, I think. And anything which rhymes with "certiorari" or "probate exception".

That's the second verse, I think.

"You married a really old guy
Who didn't have a will
You got sued by his children
And had to wait and chill
You got yourself a lawyer
And talked to Rehnquist, Bill
You won before the SCOTUS
And gave us all a thrill."

Excellent.
