Shouting “First, kill all the lawyers!” at Common FolkUsing CommonSense

[note: I do personally know or know of five lawyers who are decent human beings, and so I infer there must surely be more of that nature. But liking and respecting five lawyers as individuals doesn’t bring me any closer to appreciating lawyers as a class… And do also note that I am well aware that the snippet lifted from Henry VI is really Shakespeare’s tribute to lawyers as a bulwark against tyrants. And yes, I know the mistaken meme I invoked when I typed the words… ]

And yet another update–From Rush Limbaugh, this lil gem:

“Would you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney or riding in a car over a bridge with Ted Kennedy? At least Cheney takes you to the hospital.”

Uhm, was that a rhetorical question, Rush? (h.t. Newsmax)
