OK, this is too good not to share. An attorney in Texas named Laurie Higginbotham wrote Georgia State Representative Dan Lakly in January 2007 urging him to free Genarlow Wilson. This is Representative Lakly's response - verbatim - as it appears in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitiution (their site is down or I'd link to it):

"I am appalled by your ignorance! Get a life! If you are in fact an attorney, you should know that this punk refused a plea bargain. A jury convicted this young man and we abide by the rule of law in Georgia. You Sir, are a MORAN!"

Good grief, where to start. The idiotic refusal to consider the possibility of having made a mistake (*cough*G.W. Bush*cough*), addressing a woman as sir, misspelling "moron" - yes, that's the caliber of person representing Peachtree City, GA in the state legislature. Take a bow, Representative Lakly. :rolleyes:
