I knew that ‘Whiplash Willy’ had to refer to a trial lawyer scum, didn’t remember that it was Matthau’s character in that brilliant Billy Wilder movie. Still see no connection whatsoever to Gingrich, who is neither a lawyer nor a litigant.
Boy you are tough to get through to. The attorney’s name in the movie was ‘Whiplash’ Willy Gingrich.
