Fresh from defending animal abuser Michael Vick, lawyer Billy Martin has moved on to another animal enemy – Senator Larry Craig, who was a total horror on animal protection issues in Congress. Apparently the Johnnie Cochran-wannabe has a penchant for representing those who are absolutely no friend to animals.

However, there’s a side of humor to all of this. Best pun-filled headline and story ever? Postcards from the Pug Bus’ Larry Craig Hires Michael Vick’s Lawyer to Beat Cockfighting Charges.

   Is he a Johnnie Cochran-wannabe because he emulates and aspires to be like him or just because he’s a black lawyer? I don’t know anything about the guy, but from reading this article I sense a racial association. If another woman ran for the Democractic nomination would she be a Hillary wannabe?

   “Johnnie Cochran-wannabe” as in Cochran’s legacy of defending obviously guilty people like OJ Simpson. Sheesh.

   I had the same reaction as baba. Pretty much every famous defense lawyer has a legacy of defending “obviously guilty people”.

   And the defense lawyer with the legacy of defending obviously guilty CELEBRITIES is Johnnie Cochran. Get over your PC nonsense.

   “Get over your PC nonsense.” Is this coming from a guy calling himself “Vegan Rocks?” On a website that pops an artery over some dogs? Wow. I guess these are the End of Days…
