Maybe someone should mention it's pledge time to one of them...LOL
He has another good buddy in NY: Judge Lewis Kaplan who handed him the Christies/Sotheby collusion case on a platter after numerous other firms spent tens of thousands competing for the job.
From the NY Observer:
"But Judge Kaplan was unmoved. The process remained intact, and on May 26, after a mere 24 hours reviewing the bids, he awarded the case to Mr. Boies.
What remains particularly galling for the other lawyers is the apparent close relationship between Messrs. Kaplan and Boies. That association is typified, they say, by what happened just after Mr. Boies won the case. Judge Kaplan placed a personal call to Mr. Boies, they say, telling him he had won. Meanwhile, he left it up to Mr. Boies to fax the other attorneys. Some of those lawyers, many of whom had committed months of labor and tens of thousands of dollars to the case, learned they had been cut out only when they read about it in newspapers.
Limbaugh did not address the drug investigation reports in his speech.
The Enquirer had interviewed Wilma Cline, who said she became Limbaugh's drug connection after working as his maid. She said Limbaugh had abused OxyContin and other painkillers.
Ed Shohat, a Miami lawyer for Cline and her husband, said Thursday, "The Clines stand by the story." Shohat said neither he nor his clients would comment further.
National Enquirer Editor in Chief David Perel declined to say whether the Clines were paid for their interview, but said the tabloid does "pay for interviews, photographs and exclusives - as long as they can be proven to be true." Referring to media reports saying the Clines were paid six figures for their story, Perel said, "People are just making things up."
CBS' Byron Pitts reports media analysts say this latest controversy could do real harm to Limbaugh's image and his career.
The conservative pundit - whose fans call themselves Dittoheads - once said the government should "send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich and let's be rid of them."
"When you've built a career on preaching what a good life is and law and order and toeing the straight line. When... that line that you've been on is not so straight anymore, it's clearly a touch of irony here," says media analyst Donny Deutsch, in a CBS News interview.
CLEAR PATH FROM THE NE TO CBS imo. They just happened to find a media analyst today.
Wilma Cline's husband, we need to find out what he does for a living besides the alleged dope stuff.
