    all these preliminary facts and thoughts about lawyers -

    are always very troubling because everybody knows that lawyers are generally evil ( with the

    exception of the lawyer in Erin Brockovitch) but he was kind of dopey at the same time and as

    I (and my whole family) were against lawyers from day one (and Glenn had to suffer) I like to be the 'moral dude' on this thread and not somebody who changed from being a Republican imposter to I don't know what. And I decide it is (not great) but acceptable to defend Chiquita
