He was next to my wife and I at the Acme Oyster Bar in New Orleans in May. He had a noticeable tick.
I wonder if this "neurological condition" is not Parkinsons.
Amen
Tonight's winning pithy comment. LOL
hehehehe
"If in the Hospital bed he must lie, then it's time for him to ...?"
He so loved his rhymes when it helped jury nullification. He sure helped ruin race relations in this country by throwing lots of dangerous rhetoric into the public.
Whoa all.........I said I met him and spent some time with him. I didn't say he was my buddy. It was all business.
karma
If his nerves don't fire, he must expire.. Ok that has kinda harsh..
neurological condition ---- he thought about actually telling the truth once??
Trial lawyers nationwide recoil in HORROR!
His condition is called Lawyers mouth, it is incurable without a religious conversion.
Why is it that so many people, upon meeting a celebrity, just roll over for them--no matter how bad of a person that celeb may be...
"well I met him, and he's a personable guy..."
Please. He's personable like all GREAT con man--Bill Clinton to Johnny Cochran and the like.
I'm sure Billy Boy Clinton would be a fun guy to meet too.
As they say, bad con man aren't successful--only the really good ones can create the major misery that a Johnny Cochran or a Bill Clinton can conjure.
Sorry, don't mean to rant at you, and I'll probably get smacked back hard. I just get sick of that sentiment towards very bad persons, like Cochran. Here's a guy who created the absolutely ludicrous con -- predicated on the playing of the most vile, unsupported racial card -- that allowed a vicious, heinous criminal to run free. I hate the SOB for doing it.
May his personable @ss rot in hell along with other world-class con-men!
"He's a race-baiting whore."
Thank you. While I would never wish serious illness on someone (my personal belief is, if you do that, you're inviting a certain Someone's wrath), I cannot feel much sympathy for a man who willingly--eagerly!--divided a country along racial lines so he could become a household name. Yeah, he got O.J. off. But if his goal could have been better reached by NOT getting him off, then O.J. would be on death row right now. Johnny was out for Johnny, not to right any "wrongs" or find the truth.
And another thing: I always thought he was a second-rate lawyer and a third-rate thinker. What he was first-rate at was, playing to the camera; tweaking racial guilt; bullying the opposition.
The only time I ever pulled for Cochran was when he represented that Cosmo Kramer fellow in a too-hot-coffee lawsuit...
If he is not fit, you must admit.
