Talk about greedy, Machiavellian, Rothstein gets a prize. To call him, and Hillary Clinton, super-lawyers casts aspersions on the professions.

As you know, McCain's presidential campaign is over. Unlike Obama, he did not raise money illegally from foreigners and completely skirt the campaign contribution limits through a variety of fraudulent fundraising schemes. Do you expect him to go out and solicit funds for a defunct campaign committee to return the contributions?

You think asking for equal treatment is a cheap shot? Kudos to Christ (hadnt seen that), but what has McCain done? What about the state and local candidates this guy helped? If you agree with me that all of them should give their money back, say it. If you had done so as emphatically as you did with Congressman Carson, I'd have had nothing to say except....good job for covering this.

Uh, Crist has already acted on the contributions, Chris. You can't stop by without trying to take a cheap shot, even when I'm criticizing a Republican, can you?

While I applaud AI for even covering this story, given this guy is a GOP bagman, I didn't see the call for Governor Christie or Senator McCain to return their contributions. Also, do we only expect political leaders to return ill-gotten gains? Con men buy trust by doling out their largesse to the philanthropic community. If charities knew the money might have to go back, maybe THEY would investigate their donors more in-depth. A major hospital has a lot more staff than a congressional campaign ever will. If they can't root out phony money, how can an elected official?

One look at the guy and all I can think is super fraud. It amazes me how these guys get by with what they do before they're finally caught.

Gary, I couldn't agree more about those "Super Lawyer" designations. They are such a joke. In fact, I've never seen any rankings of attorneys that had any merit whatsoever. If people want to find a good attorney, they would be far better advised to talk to their friends and family and find out who they used and were happy with, rather than fall back on some silly ratings of attorneys.

I remember when Hillary Clinton was touted as one of the 100 top lawyers in the country. Then I read a book by which talked about her involvement in the Whitewater deal. Everyone, laywers and non-lawyers. were telling her to get out, but she insisted on staying in. In fact, the book repeatedly talked about occasions when Hillary exercised very poor judgment on legal and financial issues. I finished the book with a much lower opinion of her legal abilities.
