1. I heart Google!
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 10:16 AM by displacedtexan
For some reason, I seem to be at one with Google searches.

From my search...

More recently, Scalia's position as a champion of opaque government showed itself again on April 7 during a speech to Mississippi high school students. According to the Hattiesburg American, while Scalia was delivering a speech on the importance of protecting constitutional rights, a federal marshal was simultaneously confiscating tape recorders from two reporters who were there covering the event. Although there was no prior announcement prohibiting the recording of Scalia's remarks, the federal marshal told the reporters that Scalia had asked that his speech not be recorded.

Reporters Awarded Damages for Erased Scalia Speech

Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2004

JACKSON, Miss. -- The government has conceded that the U.S. Marshals Service violated federal law when a marshal ordered reporters with The Associated Press and the Hattiesburg American to erase their recordings of a speech by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

The U.S. Department of Justice also said the reporters and their employers are each entitled to $1,000 in damages and reasonable attorneys' fees, which had been sought by the media organizations.

On Edit: Oops! I forgot your McCain joke search...

A joke too bad to print?


HOW SEN. JOHN McCAIN'S TASTELESS TWO-LINER ABOUT CHELSEA CLINTON AND JANET RENO WAS CENSORED OUT OF THE NATION'S LEADING NEWSPAPERS.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
BY DAVID CORN

During the last few months, many established media outlets have decided to report innuendo and rumor about the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, as long as they have a source they can cite (at least anonymously), or another media player has reported the same.

But this new standard in the practice of journalism seemingly does not extend to other political figures, at least not media darlings like Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. Earlier this month, at a Republican Senate fund-raiser, McCain told a downright nasty joke making fun of Janet Reno, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton.

--snip--

The joke did appear in McCain's hometown paper, the Arizona Republic, and the Associated Press did report the joke in full, so everyone in the press had access to McCain's words. But by censoring themselves, the Post, the Times and others helped McCain deflect flak and preserved his status as a Republican presidential contender.

Salon feels its readers deserve the unadulterated truth. Though no tape of McCain's quip has yet emerged, this is what he reportedly said:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."

3. Uh...I don't know what you're doing...spelling, maybe?
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 10:16 AM by Atman
I typed in "scalia speech," and got a pageload. First two hits were about the speech you're talking about. Here is one...

Sorry, it's NewsMax. A CBS hit was actually first.

Then the McCain joke...I typed in "McCain, Chelsea Clinton." First hit out of many... Salon - A Joke Too Bad to Print

6. Nope, it was a High School...and there is not transcript
That is the entire point...he made the kid erase the tape. He said some very controversial things, and ordered the tape destroyed. That is the entire gist of the story. Unless you're thinking of something similar which I haven't heard of, but everything the way you describe it points to this High School gig.

7. Come to think of it, I vaguely remember something about that.
Somebody taped a speech without his knowledge. That was why there was the incident a few weeks later with the fed officers erasing the tapes of another speech. Scalia didn't want it happening again.

That first speech should be available somewhere, unless the hapless person who recorded it is in Gitmo.
