presley disney land... amen! and get this out. get a load of the so-called improvements. the new nicene creed. the 1700-year-old profession of what all catholics must believe has been tweaked. it now describes jesus not as the understandable one in being with the father but as consubstantial with the father. really? consubstantial? what the hell does that mean? (laughter) we're trying to get into heaven here, not take the s.a.t.s. (laughter) and for the record... (cheers and applause) and for the record, co consubstantial is now istanbul.

cases like elvis presley's death and anna nicole smith's deaths and doctors with celebrities seem to go out and do things that are unthinkable to all of us and most especially to physicians. you can't do that and can't take that temptation to please somebody and d what they may wavent because you're the dr. the hippocratic oath says, first do no harm. legally it's far beyond that. you can't engage in behavior that poses a substantial risk to someone, that was giving him an anesthetic at his house without monitoring him. i think the jury was quick, swift, and sure with the correct verdict. >> the question now is, will he be given the maximum sentence? what duke is likely to happen? >> i think he most likely will. it's such a short sentence for manslaughter, there's four degrees of homicide here in the u.s. first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, which is recklessness -- >> but he can get out after three years? >> with good time, two to three years. you have to give him the maximum to get any kind of jail time that's meaningful in a case like this. as i was s

exclusively designed for elvis presley. >> these are our artifacts. >> reporter: this week, one of the largest collections of hollywood memorabilia ever sold will be auctioned off in beverly hills. >> there is something for everything, contemporary hollywood to vintage hollywood and to lady gaga right to john lennon. >> reporter: want george harrison's suit from "it's a hard day's night," cyndi lauper's "girls just want to have fun" frock, they can be yours for a price. hollywood auctions like these have become big business. last month, michael jackson's "thriller" jacket was expected to go for about $200,000. it ended up selling for 1.8 million. and when elizabeth taylor's jewels hit the auction block next month, they're expected to fetch as much as $50 million. and all of that money hasn't gone unnoticed. with real estate tanking and wall street on the roller coaster, some serious investors say owning a piece of hollywood isn't just sentimental, it is smart. michael eisenburg has been collecting hollywood memorabilia for 20 years. this week he has his eyes on these pictures from mari

. >> bob: this was many years ago but elvis presley's doctor was charged giving him too many prescription pills. it's amazing to me how many celebrities die of overdoses that have been administered by physicians. nobody is going to say no to the celebrities, obviously. you make a good point about the jackson family. knew he was getting stuff. difficulty sleeping. they used a drug normally not given in a home but in a hospital. somebody refused to step in or didn't want to step in. that is not to say he's not guilty. the evidence apparently he is. but it's amazing to me how celebrities get doctors get this stuff. >> eric: by the fact that the doctor ordered four gallons of propofol, that alone, you are telling a drug user, junkie, here is enough to kill yourself. >> bob: first, that amount is incomprehensible, even for me. i have seen a lot of drugs before. but that is the thing i don't get. how you stockpile that kind of -- this is a powerful drug. >> greg: the real loser in all of this are people like me. how am i going to convince my doctor to give me drugs? >> andrea: you don't have $1

elvis presley's doctor was prosecuted after his death. it just can't be worth the money. even though his lawyer said he never got paid, i'm sure he was waiting for that big payday and he was hoping he could get michael jackson to england to do that tour. and i think doctors have to say, it isn't worth it. it's not worth ruining my career, my reputation or my client to die to give them drugs for a future payday. >> let's turn to big scandals infesting american sport at the moment. but in the last couple of days, we had this thing at syracuse involving bernie fine, the assistant basketball coach. what do you make of this? is there a parallel between these two cases? it seems that there was a cover-up that a lot of people knew, they didn't take action. people were being abused and horrible stories and horrible cover-ups both in big sporting organizations. what do you make of it? >> i think it's appalling. this is something i've been talking about for 30 years, the ability of children to come forward to a trusted authority figure, an adult and somebody will do something about

presley's birthday wrong but i don't think that's a qualifying factor to be president of the united states. what i did do is stand up loud and clear when we were dealing with the debt ceiling and i said let's pay off the interest on the debt today and also prioritize the spending. let's not do the supercommittee. the supercommittee is giving us one of two bad choices. one says let's raise tacks. bad decision. i signed a pledge and i think that means something not to raise taxes. i said let's not raise tax on the american people. it will hurt the economy. but the other choice for the supercommittee is cutting $600 billion out of national defense. that's a terrible disaster. when the president has engaged our military in more venues than of, libya, uganda, and now he's made a decision to have 2500 perhaps in australia in addition to the work we are doing in iraq and afghanistan and in light of the report that came out from the iea that iran could be nuclear power very quickly. in light of that to cut $600 billion out of our military in addition to the $4 billion,we are gutting the mil

was he as big as elvis presley and the beatles? he wanted to be. >> i think he probably was, i think he was bigger. i don't think that popular music has ever had two albums like "off the wall" and "thriller." i think that they were incredible works of art. and i don't think they'll ever be surpassed. and remember, it's hard today for people to reflect upon that, because, of course, there's been this horrific tragedy, and this death. but, actually, it's his music that continues to live, i think, will live forever. >> well, thank you, martin bashir for that emotional, actually, very telling description of the importance of this conviction sentencing today. thank you, martin bashir, my colleague. the reverend al sharpton is host of "politics nation" on msnbc. reverend, thank you for joining us. about this case, you've been following it. four years, is that about right? do people see that as an appropriate sentence with this verdict? >> i think some people see it as probably a light sentence. i think when you have a doctor that clearly
