Larry Klayman, Conservative Wingnut Lawyer, Gets Reprimanded By Florida Bar, Is Broke
quote:

What with all of his insane lawsuits against the Clintons, Facebook, Rachel Maddow, President Obama, and his own mother, conservative Florida activist and lawyer Larry Klayman is pretty damn busy.

Too busy to defend his real clients, apparently. The Florida Bar has issued a public reprimand of Klayman for taking a $25,000 payment to represent a woman in a high-profile criminal case and then allegedly failing to, y'know, do any lawyerin'.

When he was ordered to pay the client back, Klayman missed payments, whining in court documents that he's so broke he can't afford a bankruptcy lawyer.

Allow us to shed a single tear for the man who calls Barack Obama "mullah in chief".

Klayman founded Judicial Watch, the conservative organization that filed eighteen lawsuits against the Clinton administration in the '90s, and recently sued Hillary Clinton. Klayman left Judicial Watch and then, of course sued it. He recently sued Facebook for $1 billion for not removing an anti-Israel page, and represented a homophobic preacher in a slander lawsuit against Rachel Maddow. Oh, yeah, and he sued his mom (He claims his mom won't pay him back $50,000 he spent on private nurses for her mother, his grandmother, Yetta Goldberg, who died in August of 198 at the age of 89)...

Florida apparently isn't the first state to declare Klayman a deadbeat lawyer. His bar license in Pennsylvania is also under "administrative suspension."

If one of the Republican Presidential candidates actually gets elected in 2012 - will that individual select Larry Klayman to be their Attorney General?

After all, Alan Keyes, who was a contender for the GOP nomination in the last Presidential election (losing out to McCain) had announced that, if elected, Krayman would have been his choice for Attorney General.

FYI: Krayman is also the founder of the Tea Party group, Freedom Watch USA
Larry Klayman - The One Man TEA Party

He was once described by a former colleague as the sort of guy who'd "sue you for criticizing his tie"

So how many of you are joining his campaign ? I mean he seems like a nice guy for a politician. Could he be the epitome of the lesser of evils ? That he was found out because everyone who knew wasn't cut up, shut up or put out ?

This could be our guy !

T^T

Astounding to hear about a state bar actually taking action against a bad apple. Usually the bars only take action when you screw up your trust account or have sex with a client.

Nothing compares to This Conservative Wingnut. He went on this huge crusade against 'violent video games' a couple of years ago (before being disbarred). He constantly attacked the companies making such games and imposing his 'hardcore' Christian values (which most Christians might have laughed at). In one 'fine example' of protecting children from gay pornography, Mr. Thompson submitting to court records some hundreds of images of gay men 'getting it on' as examples of why video game companies should not be trusted. His favorite game to attack was the 'Grand Theft Auto' series.

Eventually reality caught up to Mr. Thompson when Florida disbarred him. There were many celebrations within the gaming industry that day.

I remember that guy!  He was a hell of a megaphone, always good for some pithy publicity.
