4. Kicked & recommended

Writing like that is why Boston Legal is currently my favorite TV drama.

Thanks for posting it! :)

[truth2power]

5. Thank you, thank you! That speech was outstanding and I was hoping

I could find some sort of transcript. It'll probably take an hour to download this on dial-up, but I'll do it anyway.

Everyone should hear this speech.

edit> Oh...K&R

6. JIBBER JABBER *cough hack*

That was a great speech and episode of BL!!

[mirandapriestly]

7. too bad it's fiction! nt

[peekaloo]

8. I liked early on in the show where he told his secretary to change the

channel because the fair and balanced network never reported any of that stuff (torture,etc.)

An excellent show.

[LibraLiz1973]

33. that was a favorite line of mine too.

So funny

[mopinko]

9. how did we get this fucked up?

eom

[Sydnie]

10. for those of us that didn't see the show ... how did it end?

I assume she was on trial for withholding her taxes ... what did the jury decide?

[malmapus]

17. guilty, $1,000 fine and 30 days in prison suspended

Dunno how long they deliberated on it, didn't seem that long

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Guilty but the "Jibber jabber" judge suspended the sentence he imposed.

[sasha031]

11. absolutely, brilliant

:applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[rainbow4321]

12. Kick. n/t

[rpgamerd00d]

13. Any chance of getting this in a non-crappy format like WMP ? :)

[stepnw1f]

15. I Always Felt it was the other Way Around

[emdee]

14. I received a phone call right in the middle of the show!

I missed the best part, I'm sure. What did the jury decide?
:cry:

20. look here--spoiler

guilty--30 days suspended -- $1000 fine--

then, afterwards, she kissed him in a very romantic way after he told her not to. Then he said, sorry no further! and she regretfully left the room.

I guess more sexual tension is in our future, eh?

[JitterbugPerfume]

16. Boston Legal is on my short list

of MUST see tv. I love that program

[librechik]

18. priceless--I tuned in just in time to hear this

could hardly believe my ears!

[DS1]

21. What was this case about, and why is this this relevant?

[malmapus]

22. She didn't pay her taxes, instead put a sticky that said "stick it" in.

Because she was embarrased by all the things our country is doing with her money.

[DS1]

23. Dumb approach

but okay

[malmapus]

24. Yeah, just realzied that since they found her guilty she's a felon now

Can't vote anymore

[Ranec]

29. Felons can vote in MA.

According to this site

http://www.soc.umn.edu/~uggen/felon_disenfranchisement.htm

It is mostly the red states that found taking the vote away from felons was a good way to keep out "undesirables."

[malmapus]

30. Oh cool, was afriad it was nationwide

Learn something new, thanks! :D

[LibraLiz1973]

34. She was embarassed- her grandfather fought in WWII

and she knew he didnt fight for his country to turn out like what it is now.
She refused to pay taxes for a country headed in the wrong direction

[helderheid]

25. OK, I'm in tears. That was GREAT. I have BL tivo'd for later.

[SpiralHawk]

26. Brilliant. Definitely a Must See

k and r

[sinkingfeeling]

27. Maybe we ought to send this clip to the offices of all Democratic

Senators and ask again, why they aren't supporting censure!

[bottomofthehill]

28. GREAT

[Sperk]

31. perfect

not AT ALL melodramatic

[GoneOffShore]

32. Brilliant

Sorry I missed the show, but I was watching Good Night and Good Luck. Which was also brilliant.

The DVD has a companion piece with Fred Friendly's widow, their son, Murrow's son, the Werksbas (sp?) and Radulovich. It's very telling.

[LibraLiz1973]

35. In another ep earlier this season

Alan (The character in the clip) was the attorney for a young woman holding the government responsible for her brothers death in Iraq. It was a good episode- he made alot of good speeches.

36. James Spader's character is the main reason I watch BL.
