(Newser) – What was Dr. Conrad Murray doing while Michael Jackson was dying? Chatting on the phone with his lady friend. Sources tell TMZ the cell phone call to a galpal in Houston lasted from 12:03 to 12:13pm; five minutes into the call, Murray’s girlfriend says he dropped the phone and she heard him administering CPR. A bodyguard called 911 at 12:21pm.

I don't think it's a matter of 'submission'. There'd be a whole host of outlets with reporters on the MJ stuff all the time...they hound and hound until they wheedle what they can.

I wish they would save up all these tiny bits of drivel to make up one really good story.

Be sure to write when Dr. Murray is arrested. That would be real news and yes, denied bail.
