Jonah G at The Corner reprints an email my father could have sent (if he sent email, that is):
Dear Jonah – When you say “trial lawyers,” I think you mean “plaintiffs’ attorneys.” Or more specifically, “contingent fee plaintiffs’ attorneys.” I’m a “trial lawyer,” but I hardly think you’d object to what I do all day long – defend corporate clients from malicious and baseless lawsuits filed by overzealous plaintiffs’ attorneys. So, when you say “trial lawyers,” be careful – you may be alienating an innocent sector of your NRO readership.
The phrase the Corner (and the GOP) is looking for is “ambulence chaser” (scum sucking pigdog isn’t specific enough).
