How dumb can you be?

Think Progress (http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/24/delay-colb ert/) has a story that confounds the senses. Tom DeLay’s legal defense fund send out a mass email praising Comedy Central satirist Steven Colbert, whose faux-conservative television character praised Tom DeLay and bashed a new film that purports to expose DeLay’s corruption.

Perhaps the DeLay camp missed the White House Press Correspondents Dinner where Colbert lambasted Bush to his face.

At any rate, it’s good to see that DeLay has allies on his side even if they are slightly fictional.

From law blog to law review

Cheers to Daniel Solove, purported to be the first blogger to publish a blog post as a law review article. Earlier this month, Solove, of PrawfsBlawg (http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com), penned a piece (http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com/prawfsblawg/2005/ 05/the_bar_exam_as.html) about how the Multistate Bar Exam is the most widely read piece of legal writing. The humorous piece was then published in the Michigan Law Review, which, according to the Volokh Conspiracy’s (www.volokh.com) Orrin Kerr (http://www.orinkerr.com/) effectively answers “Can law blogs be scholarly?� with a resounding maybe.

Bad news for bad guys

So Enron's Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay are soon to be the smartest guys in minimum security prison. Maybe the verdict isn't all that shocking, but it is hopefully a little gratifying to all the people who were ripped off by Enron.

Professor Bainbridge (http://www.professorbainbridge.com/) has devoted his law blog to analyzing the verdict. He notes that, like Martha Stewart, Lay and Skilling got in trouble not for breaking the law but for lying about breaking the law.

The Wall Street Journal Law Blog (http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2006/05/25/lay/) says Lay's real downfall was acting like such a jerk on the witness stand. If he had taken a little responsibility for the collapse of Enron, they might have cut him some slack.

The Sentencing Law and Policy Blog (http://sentencing.typepad.com/sentencing_law_a nd_policy/2006/05/firstcut_enron_.html) offers up that Lay and Skilling could get 360 to life!
