As for the WSJ ed board, they're perennially good for a hoot. Well, kingfish, blog wars have always been too boring to draw my interest so I’ll just take your word for that.

You know how editing works and they can't mention everyone. DJ did give you props yesterday in a major way. Not the WSJ. And a certain local publication in Jackson is so threatened by scruggs bloggers that you and the others are now criticized on a more regular basis as it is clear you are mopping everyone else up with your coverage.

Pillar of the community, means years of community service. Jack the Ripper suspects were thought to be Pillars of the community since they could go about without bringing attention to themselves. In Dickie Scruggs case , he was having success attaching himself to Pillars by buying his community under the guise of being an officer of the court. Sid Backstrom, Tim Balducci and Joey Langston will never have Pillar attached to their name no matter if they give the rest of their lives to community service.

It needs a lot of cleaning and antiseptic.

This sounds more like a Chamber of Commerce press release than anything. Actually apathy, more than anything, is why things are like they are in our legal system. No one wants to buck the system as long as they are getting feed. Are we surprised? This sounds more like a Chamber of Commerce press release than anything.

When you tie it all in with the legal /political/judicial system it is most disgusting. No this bunch is not "pillars" of anything--sadly just more of the same. Get a copy of the 1890 Constitution of MS and read and study same--hell it developed this system! “showing everyone how the pillars of the trial bar really do business”
