     One half of Presidents Mumps is suing the Des Moines Register for publishing an election poll while the other half is threatening to imprison 60 Minutes for interviewing a candidate for public office, seemingly in violation of their own executive order "that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen."
