Bainbridge Redux

Some follow-up by Clive Davis at Andrew Sullivan. The bottom line is still that Bainbridge is full of it, but the amazing thing is the focus on the completely irrelevant question* of Edwards' pro bono work, or lack of it.

First, as the second comment from a reader about contingencies and pro bono should make clear, the original canard is simply that -- an attempt to swiftboat Edwards. To raise that as an issue simply points up the poverty of Bainbridge's attack to begin with -- if there were any substance, there would be no need for the pro bono question.

(* Oops -- forgot. This is still Andrew Sullivan's blog. It is more relevant than Ann Althouse, but then, "more relevant" is entirely relative.)
