Okay, enough with the “Oh My God, He’s a Trial Lawyer!” Edwards slams. While the excesses of civil courts can be weighed against the excesses of businesses who are rightfully sued, I think you can discuss the issue of “tort reform” without painting “trial lawyers” as something you’d scrape off your shoe.
That’s one meme that’s already tiresome, and it’s only going to get worse with time.
(Though, no, I wouldn’t vote for Perry Mason as pres — the dude plays faster and looser with the law, even in a good cause, than anyone should feel comfortable with in a chief executive. Nor do I think he’d take the job.)

How about Matlock? Maaaaaatlock! 🙂
I hate Matlock.
Press conferences would be more fun.
“Is it true, Helen Thomas, that you took all the weapons of mass destruction out of Iraq just to make me look bad? The man in the red tie is Sam Donaldson and he is prepared to testify that you have.”
“Yes, I confess.”
“Baliff, take Mrs. Thomas into custody.”
