[Capt. Jake]

The Kerry Edwards lawyer, Marc Elias, also represented Robert Torricelli. Nice clients.

[Congressman Billybob]

Good get, Capt. to note that the lawyer now for Kerry-Edwards used to be the lawyer for Robert ("cur dog from New Jersey") Torricelli. In my 40 year career and counting as a lawyer, I never chose to represent anyone I considered to be a card-carrying sleazeball.

So, either the Kerry-Edwards lawyer was domb as a hoe handle not to notice that Torricelli was a brass-plated bum, or the lawyer drew the line on clients differently from me. (He drew the line thusly, "If the check is good, the client is innocent.") That seems to be an appropriate benchmark for a person who represents Kerry-Edwards.
