Jonathan Turley Gets Snotty Concerning Casino's Super Bowl Ad

Last edited Wed Feb 5, 2014, 02:51 PM - Edit history (2)

Maybe some of you in Georgia and elsewhere were able to see the applauded Super Bowl ad of accident attorney Jamie Casino. He was defending his murdered brother and a girl friend; while at the same time touting his advocacy (now) for the little guy. Professor Jonathan Turley took issue with that; and yours truly takes issue with Professor Turley.

Jamie's brother - Michael Biancosino - was gunned down in his car on Labor day in 2012. What irked attorney at law Jamie Casino, is the fact that the Chief of Police (Willie Lovett) disparagingly remarked that;

"there were no innocent victims"


This inference by the Police Chief that Jamies brother did something wrong - really pissed off Jamie Casino. Instead of suing the Police Chief (who has since retired as of October due to sexual harassment allegations); Mr. Casino bought and placed the following Super Bowl ad to clear his brother's name and tout his business:

Now, please don't get me wrong - I like Professor Jonathan Turley and admire his works; but (of late) he has gotten somewhat full of himself. To bark and rant to your following about someone being too full of themselves as a distasteful attorney at law who charges for his "super hero" works - while you are a purported super hero attorney who is obviously well funded and liked in Washington D.C. -

Seems Smug - like the pot calling the kettle black - to me.

What you haven't seen, is that there are underground wars about censorship and other such stuff by the Professor, as of late. Including an open invitation for a comment party to go somewhere else. His censorship (when his blog is about the 1st Amendment) has caused others - significant - to go away.

I too, am pissed about other issues with the Professor - and figured I rant back and see how he likes it.

What do you think - is Mr. Casino's ad really that bad?

As for me - I like it!

like in a courtroom?

Do you like Social Security attorney Binder and Binder - with that cowboy hat?

Is it goofy?

Have you ever forgotten Binder?
