RIP Johnnie Cochran

Johnnie Cochran, famed O.J. Simpson defense attorney, passed away this week.

He's famous here in Louisiana for another reason. He recently won a civil suit in a case where a little girl fell out of a New Orleans street car (that's like a trolley, but you can't use that word down here) window and got her arm ground into hamburger by the wheels. He got a $55 million dollar verdict in that case, although I suspect the defense attorneys in that case argued something along the lines of "why did her parents let her fall out the window?" After the verdict came down, rumor has it that the jury members asked to get their picture taken with Mr. Cochran, which to me suggests that they may have been more captivated by the famous guy in the room than with the facts of the case.

But I'm not posting this because of O.J., or the civil suit. I'm posting because Michael Savage is a piece of crap. Yesterday on his show he mentioned Cochran's death, and made some snide remark.

Look, I disagree with the O.J. verdict, and I think his approach in the O.J. case was a little under-handed, but is there some reason we can't abstain from disparaging the dead? Show some class you retard, if you're capable. There's a reason I think Savage is a piece of human garbage. This just adds fuel to the fire.
