"A Moment Of History"

That's how the head of Splash News and Picture Agency described the grainy video footage his paparazzi managed to get of paramedics trying to resuscitate Anna Nicole Smith while gurneying her to a waiting ambulance. Footage that fetched a cool half-million dollars:

Tetley defended the selling of the footage. "It captures the vain battle to save her life. People want to know what happened," he said.

"It was good journalism. We knew where she was staying, we sent in a team of photographers and cameras and we were in the right place at the right time..."

Two things immediately come to mind. First, the dude who videotaped the Saddam Hussein hanging is probably feeling pretty stupid for having dumped it online for free right about now. And second, when this lowlife Tetley kicks the bucket, I'd be surprised if he even warrants an obit.
