"I a can-a assure you ah *hic* speaker, that ah, my red bloated fat face is uh a result of ah *hic* bad after shave *hic*
My guy just shows up hungover.

His client is facing life in prison and he shows up smashed. But I`m saying to myself; What is the difference between that and Ted Kennedy (and his son) making decisions for millions of people while they are half crocked? They demand complete sobreity in the court for just one person, then surely Congress must be held to the same standard. Everyone seems to forget when Teddy showed up few years ago so smashed he actually voted WITH Republicans!!

Judge: "It is a bit late in the proceedings, but do you have any legal points for requesting a mistrial?"
Lawyer: "Yesh your honor - hic. I want a mishtrial 'cause you are one fugly summabitch."
