    Free PR tip: If you're accuse of "chokin' a bitch" don't snatch the mic out of the TV guy's hand on camera.

    well i'm a lawyer in florida and every day i deal with idiot and incompetent and power-hungry judges.

    we lawyers call it 'black robe syndrome.' you put on the robe and instantly forget what it's like to be a lawyer who has a duty to clients and you become an arrogant total fucking asshole.

    i haven't been practicing all that long (four years) but i have yet to meet a circuit court judge that i respect.
