It is from a book written in about 1960, and is a quote of the main character. I too find the term offensive, yet it is a quotation. Just think if I had quoted “Huckleberry Finn.”

"Within one or two days following funeral services for a 13-year-old child who was killed in an automobile accident, Garmon called the child’s home identifying himself as a “pastor and attorney.” […] Garmon also made subsequent calls to the mother of the child stating that he had talked to her husband about their legal issues and wanted to set up a meeting."

I beg to differ. It will certainly not be a crying shame when Mr. Garman, DA/MA/BS/AH, goes down in flames with Mr. Molester Moore. It will, in fact, be quite the delightful sight as the Karma train goes rollin' on.

I wonder if I should report that some jackass claiming to be Roy Moore's attorney was aired on MSNBC making a complete fool of himself.

We used to have so much fun with translating things back and forth from various languages. It's friggin hilarious. Also a reason to hire a competent human translator.

Makes his law school sound a bit sketchy.

This just smells of extreme desperation on Roy Moore's part - there's no way in hell he didn't know this before hiring the jackass.

Pretty expected GOP action tho. When the shit is hitting you in the face, thrust out someone even stupider to take some heat off.See also: Dan Quayle, Carter Page, et al. All of them professional squirrels.
