The waiting has local suits talking like mobsters . . . 

Something to consider: Lawyers & politicos don't even have the subterfuge of loyalty and will flip on their granny if it will get them ahead.

In the meantime, here's another roundup of a story that our blog community shared about a half a day before everybody else . . .
