A product liability attorney "helping" someone other than himself is
an oxymoron - chuckle, chuckle...snicker, snicker - hilarious guffaws!

Yep, it's only when it comes to trial lawyers putting the grab on 50%
of these settlements on their way to an 80 million dollar fortune that
liberals then start to babbling on about compassion and altruism and
all the rest of that horse manure. It's also worthy of note that
neither Bush or Cheney can lay their hands on this kind of dough, much
less either one even being flush enough to pay the salaries of Kerry's
house servant and maintenance staffs. Hee hee!

But then, if I were a democrat and checked out the enormous sums of
money the American Trial Lawyers were pouring into the DNC coffers,
well the math would make me wax eloquent about their "public service,"
too. I mean, after all, if these corporations have all this dough, we
have a right to steal a bunch of it, no matter that some kid stuck his
tongue in a light socket or some dim-witted demmie ran a hair dryer in
a tub full of water with the shower running!

Way ta go, Doody Head! You'll see what they think of this shyster *****
good Ol' Boy come November 2, and you aina gonna like it!

I remain your humble servant, Soeur Felicienne Angelica

Everything we buy, from apples

the American Trial Lawyers pocketing billions with bogus and frivolous
lawsuits. It's all a big game and a fancy extortion racket with the
courts refereeing the shakedown of John Q. Citizen.

So how is everything is costing 30% more, when the sum total of all
judgements is way under 0.1% of the economy?

Are you really as dumb as you look, or did you just think you could
lie and no one would call you on it?

Couldn't both be true?

Let's hear how "Dominique" defends the part of the Medicare prescription
bill that forbids negotiating lower prices for prescription drugs purchased
in huge supply, as Canada does.

On July 7, 2004, Ann Coulter's column was titled "In
Desperate Move, Kerry Adopts Puppy." Go to:

http://www.anncoulter.org/columns/2004/070704p.htm
__________________________________________________________________________

Excerpts:

"...Edwards specialized in babies with cerebral palsy whom he
claimed would have been spared the affliction if only the
doctors had immediately performed Caesarean sections.

"As a result of such lawsuits, there are now more than four
times as many Caesarean sections as there were in 1970. But
curiously, there has been no change in the rate of babies
born with cerebral palsy....
[...]

"...In addition, the "little guys" Edwards claims to represent
are having a lot more trouble finding doctors to deliver their
babies these days as obstetricians leave the practice rather
than pay malpractice insurance in excess of $100,000 a year.

"In one of Edwards' silver-tongued arguments to the jury on
behalf of a girl born with cerebral palsy, he claimed he was
channeling the unborn baby girl, Jennifer Campbell, who was
speaking to the jurors through him:

"'She said at 3, 'I'm fine.' She said at 4, 'I'm having a
little trouble, but I'm doing OK.' Five, she said, 'I'm
having problems.' At 5:30, she said, 'I need out.'
[...]

"'She speaks to you through me and I have to tell you right
now -- I didn't plan to talk about this -- right now I feel
her. I feel her presence. She's inside me, and she's talking
to you."
[...]

"Is Edwards able to channel any children right before an
abortionist's fork is plunged into their tiny skulls? Why
can't he hear those babies saying, 'Let me live! Stop
spraying this saline solution all over me!' Edwards must
experience interference in channeling the voices of babies
about to be aborted. Their liberal mothers' hands seem to
muffle those voices.

"Despite the now-disproved junk science theory about C-sec-
tions preventing cerebral palsy that Edwards peddled in the
channeling case, the jury awarded Edwards' client a record-
breaking $6.5 million. This is the essence of the modern
Democratic Party, polished to perfection by Bill Clinton:
They are willing to insult the intelligence of 49 percent
of the people if they think they can fool 51 percent of the
people.
[...]

Trial lawyers are to the legal profession as abortionist are
to the medical profession.

But, Ann Coulter IS right, Edwards is like a very cute puppy.
And, he DOES have better hair than Chaney.

Papa Jack laughed:
Do you realize Ann Coulter "loves" radical liberals like
you, Adam? Folks just like you have made her rich and
famous. By writing the facts about your lop-sided views
of the world and society, she makes people like me keep
buying her books and reading her columns. Really, she's
one of my favorites for that very reason.

Plus, she's talented at making you liberals so angry you
sputter -- and, I think that's funny.

Think what you like, PJ, but I notice that you can't refute
the facts - that Coulter claims that Edwards was being
deceptive based on science that Edwards COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN.

=============================================================================
Papa Jack explains:
You keep repeating this drivel as though you actually had
a real point to make. Think about it, please.

When Edwards used information to convince a jury they
should punish a physician by taking millions of dollars
and giving it to the patients, that information should
be KNOWN SCIENCE -- not voodoo magic like Edwards sold
the jury in the cases in question. He has a responsi-
bility to present the truth.

I doubt the juries just give the decisions to Edwards'
clients because he had "nice hair." So, let's assume
he presented what the juries thought were scientific
medical "facts" to show that the physicians FAILED to
give proper treatment and immediately performed Caesarean
sections. Remember, he had to be "good enough" to overcome
the opposing arguments by the attorneys for the physicians.

Your contention that "Edwards COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN" is
inane and illogical. He had access to all sorts of expert
advice and he was the lead attorney in multi-million dollar
cases which changed the way medical treatment is provided.
HE HAD AN OBLIGATION TO KNOW -- or to make it clear to the
juries that he was simply speculating.

Papa Jack shook his head in disgust:
Knock it off, Adam, or the whole world will realize how
totally stupid you are being in this instance.

Edwards filed suits based on his "theory" that doctors
should rapidly diagnose this problem and immediately
perform the Caesarean sections. The lawsuits would
not have been filed if Edwards didn't propose this
"theory." Now, you want to excuse his fraud by saying
he couldn't have known?????????

=============================================================================

Papa Jack commented:
She didn't conceal anything, Adam. What she did was to
describe how Edwards USED "junk science" to convince juries
babies with cerebral palsy would have been spared the
affliction if only the doctors had immediately performed
Caesarean sections.

She quotes Edwards as telling the jury:

"She speaks to you through me and I have to tell
you right now -- I didn't plan to talk about this
-- right now I feel her. I feel her presence. She's
inside me, and she's talking to you."

That's the words of a charlatan, Adam. Hardly someone
we'd want as our President.

I don't know what he did. It sounds like a snakeoil
salesman on the back of his wagon to me. This is the
way this man got to be a very wealthy person -- which
is his only real experience. He hasn't even finished
one term as a senator -- and, it's widely believed he
would have had trouble getting reelected as a senator.
