I hope it's a coincidence that all three are in the neurotic north and that weird west coast place. We don't know the geographical derivation of the folks in charge of Gideon. <br />Let's keep an eye on it.

They need to make sure that the lawyers they employ are untainted by the stain of actually being Southern. <br /><br />On the other hand, it's really hard to blame them for thinking this way. Our most famous lawyer export was John Edwards. You can't be a good little liberal and believe that the Duke boys are going to get fair representation against Boss Hogg from that sleazebag. Besides, they can sell these young lawyers on how if they do a good job representing Bo and Luke they might get a chance to nail Daisy.Sean D Sorrentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710448105506060349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-2373767636908456042013-12-04T11:40:30.172-05:002013-12-04T11:40:30.172-05:00"This is just what the South needs: lawyers f..."This is just what the South needs: lawyers from New York and California coming here to show the provincials how it is done."<br /><br />Well, maybe 50 years ago the South did, but it is 2013 now. More I am exposed to the South more I understand my own ignorance as a Yankee.<br /><br />I went to l school in Chicago, I was told (really, not sarcasm) that people in the South did not wear shoes, horses are still used as transport in the South, rats are shot inside houses in Texas and the South begins at I-80.<br /><br />Shootin' BuddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
