Dressing Badly and Looking Cheap

This isn't a comeback; we just had to share an article in today's Houston Chronicle. We laughed out loud while reading R.G. Ratcliffe's description of jury selection in Tom DeLay's trial:

Another potential juror on his questionnaire said he thought DeLay "dressed badly and looked cheap." Under questioning, the man said he had mistaken DeLay for Houston criminal defense lawyer Rusty Hardin.

Three women said they only recognized DeLay from his recent appearance on the television show Dancing With the Stars. One said he should not have appeared on the program because "he is a bad dancer."


We eagerly await the observations of the jury pool in the Fraser Verrusio case. How do Mr. Verrusio and his defense team dress? We don't know if Mr. Verrusio is a good dancer, but evidence in the trial will likely show that he visited Privileges, a Manhattan dance studio of sorts.
