LOL! I've worked for some big law firms -- the rookie lawyers who want to keep their jobs are frequently working from about 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. or so (and not infrequently all night!), including Saturdays and/or Sundays! Ever wonder why so many lawyers want to be judges??? And so few judges want to go back to being lawyers???
Is it my imagination or has Howie had even more columns skewering the MA judiciary since his recent up close and personal experience with the court system? ;-)
Yes and Howie has spent more time on air talking about corrupt, senile, hack judges. Remember not too long ago when there was a push to pass a bill that would outlaw talking on cell phones in your car unless you used a handset/spkrpohone—oh, but there would be exceptions, like to police and other officials? (This bit is being used on ‘RKO as part of a promo.)
Howie: “Oh,
what a surprise that they made that exception. How about making an exception for drunken JUDGES? How about drunken,
corrupt, SENILE judges in Massachusetts—are there any other kind in Massachusetts? No I didn’t think so..”
And then the following week guess what happens: a drunken
judge from MA makes the news: Robert “Roberta” Somma of
Newbury, who tiptoed through the tulips up to Manchester NH,
got smashed at a gay bar, then got into a fender bender.
There’s your drunken judge, people...but sadly for “Roberta”
he got pinched not in Manchester (by the Sea), MA but in
Manchester NH...so no slap on the wrist, necessarily—
and thankfully for us, and our desire for entertainment,
the Union Leader mentions him having a purse...and other
female attire...Now he’s gonna resign!
So there’s your typical hack hire, drunken judge from MA
making the news, right after Howie went on air to talk
about drunken judges! And yes, Howie took particular delight in getting that story to us!
