#2 Not the first time beached-whaleman has been sued... note also he had been sued too by a woman, last year I think, again for editing her interview, presenting her like a bigot, but I can't find the article here, though I believe I might have posted it.

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
As you extol this positive aspect of suing a scumbag (and I can think of few others more worthy of being sued than Moore), remember the profession that makes it all possible: LAWYERS, and in particular: TRIAL LAWYERS

I know, I know, the word "lawyer" is a virtual four letter word around here, but even we trial lawyers have our uses. We even get honorable mention in the VI Amendment of the Bill of Rights, in the context of legal representation for persons accused of committing crimes (NOTE: criminal defense attorneys often go on to represent Plaintiffs, prosecutors often go on to represent civil Defendants, IDKY). And the backbone of the legal system, the jury (who we lawyers ever attempt to manipulate and sway), gets mentioned in the Constitution (art. III, sec. 2), and in the V, VI, and VII Amendments of the Bill of Rights.

I guess all I’m really trying to say <*wipes emotional tear from eye*> is the next time some scumbag lawyer screws up the reputation of the rest of us attorneys, try to think back to this tender moment when some lawyer went after a piece of Mr. Moore.

#7 Noted cingold. However, my sister is a lawyer.... and I still don't trust you guys. ;)

#8 Cingold - we hate all attorneys...except our own, of course, who are fine upstanding professionals :-)

kinda like the teachers union - assholes all! Except the teacher who teaches our kid, love em!

#10 Cingold, this guy wins the case for Damon and I personally will swear off snarky lawyer comments for a year!

#11 But Lardo will have more numerous and higly paid lawyers than Sgt. Damon. So lawyers on balance are still the servants of Beelzebub. Pistols at 10 paces and our interest is piqued. Another possibility:
Moore held under boiling water for 10 minutes. If still with us, then judgement for the defendant.

#12 I hope this guy is successful and he is a true hero.

I still think lawyers and the politicians they fund (also mostly lawyers) are the problem not the solution.

#13 One of my most favorite lawyer jokes goes something like this:
One lawyer was overheard outside the courthouse remarking to another lawyer. "Don't you just hate," he said, "the 90% of all lawyers that give the other 10% of us a bad name?"

#14 BTW, I don't know if I mentioned it earlier, but I was looking for ex-lib; my updated email address is on the website; could you have her drop me a note?

#15 Phil,

the link for your email appears broken on that site. It just bounces back to the main web page. Why'd Cox make you change it?

#16 I don't know why, but one day they decided all customers of residential service couldn't use cox-internet.com any more and had to use cox.net.

The link isn't meant to go anywhere, that's why it's spelled out. I wish I had a good solution to that.

#17 cingold - Here's my favorite lawyer joke - and I read it here on Rantburg a long long time ago, though I can't recall who posted it... apologies if you've already seen it.

Did you hear that they're using lawyers instead of little white mice in lab experiments these days?

There are 3 reasons:
1) There are more of them
2) You don't become emotionally attached to them
3) There are some things little white mice just won't do

:) I used to work with lots of lawyers from both sides. We knew who the good guys were - and who the scumballs were. The good ones would even hang at the cop bars now and then, whether they were prosecutors or defence types. The PD's were usually goofballs.
