What is the scuttlebutt on the next movie from this palooka? I have heard that he will take on the drug industy next. Can anyone confirm? Thanks and good luck.
The only context that will come up is how the evil Republicans are trying to shield the hideous doctor's from the righteous wrath of the trial lawyers. The point of his movie will be to launch tobacco industry size class action suits against the entire medical community.
They wouldn't be crazy enough to try that given that the health care industry has some of the most powerful lobbyists in Washington, DC. Americans have seen how !#$%^ up the tobacco industry settlement ended up being and most Americans will fight against such lawsuits against the medical community.
And you wonder why there is a growing movement for tort reform in the USA. The USA needs to adopt the British system of litigation, where the loser pays all court costs if they lose the lawsuit. That will quickly weed out the frivilous lawsuits and keep the lawsuits where there are real merit for damages.

From a post: "vote recounts - "
In "jest" I believe - but - I hope if the project had been about this - it never got off the ground - mainly because - in advance - each state had made clear the "rules" in place for a recount. Shouted it to the rooftops in fact - etched in stone - never to be abused "again" -
