Everyone is Suing Someone
- Independent goober candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn Rylander Cougar Mellencamp is suing the Texas secretary of state over his refusal to let her use "Grandma" on the Nov. 7 ballot. We're pretty sure the filing of a frivolous lawsuit will do very little to help Carole Cougar gain new supporters.
- It seems Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle is reluctant to release information about his investigation of Tom DeLay. In fact, he is suing the state attorney general to keep the information private.
- The Alabama-Coushatta tribe of Texas is suing former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed over claims that they illegally lobbied Texas officials to refuse the tribe's casino ambitions.
- Former CIA operative Valerie Plame is suing Vice President Dick Cheney, his former aide, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and presidential adviser, Karl Rove. She believes that these fine gentlemen over at the White House conspired to destroy her career.
- Kenneth Lay is not dead, nor is he suing anyone.
