SAINT BOB BARR EXPOSED AS THIN SKINNED, EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE WHINER Re: Compared to Clinton and Flynt, he is a Saint. Hilarious new article in Salon.com: salon.com Bob Barr's emotional distress Clinton's most ardent foe sues him for $30 million -- while championing a bill against frivolous lawsuits. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Anthony York June 14, 2002 \| WASHINGTON -- When the news finally broke -- because porn magnate Larry Flynt sent out his own press release -- that Rep. Bob Barr, D-Ga., had filed a lawsuit in March against Bill Clinton, pundit James Carville and Flynt for $30 million, claiming "loss of reputation and emotional distress," the timing couldn't have been much more awkward for Barr. That very day, he was championing a bill that would cap damage awards for "pain and suffering" at $250,000. This week, at a hearing of the House Judiciary Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, which he chairs, Barr heaped praise on a bill that would limit so-called non-economic medical damages to $250,000, saying "a national liability insurance crisis is ravaging the nation's healthcare system." So how can someone who wants to limit awards for pain and suffering sue the former president and others for a whopping $30 million in emotional distress? """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Jokes like Barr, you just can't make up. OFF THE TOP OF THE HYPOCRISY CHARTS!! ROTFL!
