WASHINGTON - Larry Klayman, once a hero of conservatives for persistently taking Bill Clinton to court, sued former aides and financial backers of President Bush on Monday for using the name "Freedom's Watch" to mount a multimillion-dollar campaign in support of the war in Iraq.

In the federal lawsuit, Klayman accuses the group of appropriating a name he has used to promote his own public interest legal work. Klayman, who lives in Miami, said he first used the name Freedom Watch in 2004 on behalf of his nonprofit legal and educational activities and later registered it with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

What's more, Klayman said, he opposes the ongoing war in Iraq. He said he supported toppling Saddam Hussein, but he said he believes the United States should now "let the Iraqis sort everything out."

"The Iraq war does not promote freedom, it promotes chaos and anarchy and instability," he said in an interview.

4. True, but still, this is one gift horse that should absolutely be looked

at in the mouth. This klayman guy was all over Bill Clinton like a cheap suit. Couldn't harass him enough. Couldn't climb up his ass often enough. Couldn't shove the proctoscope in deep enough or frequently enough. BASTARD. It is somewhat satisfying to see him turning his relentless persecution tactics on some schmucks on his own side, though. But he's NOT a good guy and he's NOT one of us. By ANY stretch of the imagination. His political taser gun just happens to be pointed in the correct direction here, for a change.

9. Klayman's done the same thing with Bush

Check out Judicial Watch's attempts to illuminate the connections between Bush's Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao, and China's People's Liberation Army.

The difference? The media doesn't channel his press releases about Bush's crimes.

3. "Klayman has built a reputation as a prolific litigant." LOL. Once a hero, now a thorn in their side

Couldn't happen to a nicer party.

11. Klayman's real claim to fame

is that he sued his own momma.

He's a real piece of work. Or something.
