#1 Looks like he's gotten plenty of work, yet he still expects some lawyer to represent him for free? (Maybe he should go by D.C. Chutzpah.)

#3 Lots of lawyers in Washington. Maybe Barney Frank will represent him. Democratic congress and fellow travelers have lots of other attorneys who could represent him as well. I suspect Geigo woke up and said hey, the Tea Party members are the kinds of people who are our policyholders.

#7 I believe it's something along the lines of "Government Employees Insurance COmpany" because it originally pitched its products exclusively to that market.

"Getting yourself fired for insulting your employer's customers. So simple a caveman could do it."
