If the right can claim Attorney Edwards was an "ambulance chaser," what should we call Lobbyist Thompson?

2. Corporate Pander Bear?
He's really just another GOP suck up.

My response to someone who calls Edwards an ambulance chaser is that I would be thrilled to have someone as good as he is representing me if I were injured or disasbled due to a faulty or dangerous product. And I'll be any Repug would want the same thing if it were a member of his family that suffered the same fate.

3. Edwards was the opposite of an ambulance chaser.
look at his actual law career, rather than what Hannity says.

5. I agree

From what I've read of Edwards cases, all he did was successfully represent deserving clients. Whether he won or earned too much money is not a question for him, it's a quirk of an economic system that rewards some people (such as some CEOs, people who inherit money, investors, actors, athletes, and others) out of proportion to how it rewards the majority.

4. A "briber" and an "economic hitman". Any more questions?
