I am sure you are about to open this, all excited at the prospect of my reply having a link to your magic font.
However, I don't.
I would also like to know the name of the font and if I can find it anywhere.
Sorry :)

nah, i just felt like not getting his hopes up too high, which doesn't really make sense, since he would believe there was a link in any post...

Closer...

I think testpilot is close on the Walbaum, but chances are they didn't use a Storm font, which is not nearly as common as the other Walbaums like E+F's.

Miller Text is also similar.

Interestingly, were it not for the width and 'R', Georgia is not far off.

Zooming in on the Flash files shows that they use Georgia for all but the FISCHERSPOONER logo/headline.
