Moussaoui's defense atty just compared him to Bush on Reg Joe's show

[Stinky The Clown]

Well, to be honest ... not directly.

He said of Moussaoui: "He tried to goad the jury into helping him commit suicide. But like everything else he's tried in his life, he failed."

The comparison is just too easy to make.

1. Huh?

What does that last line mean? If anything?

Did you follow the case?

The man is mentally ill, should never have been put on trial, and was nothing but a patsy for Fuckface's Justice Department. His counsel was exactly right.

It was a travesty, and the jurors showed up this administration for the pandering incompetents that they are.

The Constitution prevailed, and so did justice.

I'm so proud of his defense counsel. They did yeoman work, all of it uphill.

2. ...i wonder where else one could apply this case?

hmmm....knowing about something and saying nothing to prevent it?....... just thinking out loud

3. It was never proven

that he knew anything about anything.

He never testified, remember?

[madrchsod]

4. oh ...never realized that...

to many trials to keep track of!

5. Uh .... Lefty ......

The key line in the OP was "But like everything else he's tried in his life, he failed."

Therein lies the 'comparison' to Bush.

It wasn't a literal comarison and the lawyer had no idea the line could also be taken that way by a demented person ... like me.

It was a yolk.

6. Well,

I don't know that he's failed at everything he's tried in his life.

I guess there's nothing funny for me about any of this, so your brilliant humor was, I suppose, lost on me.

I do hope you were wearing your truss when you wrote that one, because you surely must have hurt yourself with that kind of exertion.
