No it's not a joke, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del) will be the keynote speaker for the American Association for Justice, formerly The Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
We'll have to wait and see if Biden has his foot in his mouth during his speech.
And I guess even among themselves, the words "trial lawyer" brings up a tawdry image.
The group hasn't endorsed a Democratic candidate yet; former trial lawyer John Edwards will attend the convention too. The Breck Girl benefited greatly from the trial lawyers' largess in 2004.
Sen. Barack Obama has an eye on that trial lawyer cash, according to the Washington Post. He hired Julianna Smoot, a veteran of both the trial lawyer group and John Edwards' first presidential campaign.
There's a lot wrong with the Democratic Party. Among its problems is its de facto marriage to the trial lawyers of this country.
