Martha-Ann Bomgardner, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, won the Emmy last night for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie. During her acceptance speech, Bomgardner thanked members of the Corporate Media, who routinely referred to her as "Mrs. Alito" during last year's broadcast of The Alito Confirmation Hearings.

Trinity Broadcasting Network led the field of winners with 31 Emmys. HBO was second, winning three Emmys, including one for its documentary on the history of the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

The Corporate Media's extensive coverage of Bomgardner's crying scene was widely credited for taking the steam out of the Democratic Party's opposition to Samuel Alito and clearing the way for his confirmation. The Democratic Party was dissolved shortly thereafter, and Justice Alito has since authored several key Supreme Court decisions, including In Re Doe's Uterus, which declared all female reproductive organs in the United States to be government property, and Madison v. Marbury, which transformed the U.S. Supreme Court into a largely ceremonial body with no real power.

Bomgardner also thanked former U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham for his "superb" direction during her crying sequence. "We practiced that scene over and over," said Bomgardner during an after-ceremony press conference. "Lindsay was very patient with me."

Senator Graham was also honored for his work on The Alito Confirmation Hearings, winning the Emmy for Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or Dramatic Special. Graham, who resigned the Senate last year, is currently working on a sequel to Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will.

The award ceremony was delayed nearly five months due to heavy fighting abroad. During the ceremony, President-For-Life George W. Bush thanked the American troops currently fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Korea, Yemen, Venezuela, Bolivia, and France.
