I think that the Federal prison system has outlawed the use of cigarettes by prisoners.This is a shame because this scumbag could have used smokes to barter for....oooohhh,protection.

Little Dickie got 5 years in a Kentucky prison because he offered $50,000 to settle a $26,500,000 Hurricane Katrina case? What a cheapskate, no wonder he’s serving hard time!

It occurs to me that grown men with nicknames like “Dickie” should take extra special precautions to make sure they never end up in prison. They should “stay smart”.

This guy does not strike me as being very smart. Did he graduate from “Hollywood Upstairs School of Law”, or what?

Back in the 1920’s a number of prominent Prohibitionists turned out to be scalawags and spent some considerable time in the crossbar hotel.

I don't know which law school he attended however, I think he was a partner in the law firm of Dewey, Dickum and Howe.
