I did not see it but have found some video clips of L. Lin Wood and Piers Morgan going head to head in what appears to be at times a heated exchange.
Did any of you actually catch the whole show? I saw replays on CNN of them talking about how heated Piers Morgan called attorney L Lin Wood naive and surely Morgan did not think what he was saying? With part of it clipped out and then Wood’s southern gentleman voice coming back with “I’m sorry you find me naive” and then slapping Morgan down. Wood was on Morgan’s show to defend his client GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain.
My question is did Morgan do this for ratings as taking on Wood with no holds bar and no fear of a lawsuit, or was it a Brit that had no idea what is going on in our legal system?
I wish I had seen the whole hour, I don’t know if Lin Wood was the guest for the full hour or not, do any of you? If so give us your play by play of who won this “debate”.
I also wonder if Wood has found a new set of clientele, remember Jeff Greene suing some media in Florida for endorsing his opponent and then trashing Greene? It is certain I believe, as some in the news is saying that if we had 24/7 infotainment/news back in the 30′s, 40′s, 50′s and 60′s we would not have had great presidents like Franklin D Roosevelt or John F. Kennedy. So what is the balance on the public or voters right to know, and what is private and/or personal lives? I understand why Newt Gingrich was outed in the late 90′s; because while he was leading the charge for President William Clinton’s impeachment over consensual sex that Clinton did not feel he needed to bare all to the voters, especially when President Clinton was on the way out to retirement. While we were learning that Gingrich had abandoned a wife who was dying with cancer for a mistress he had for years. So it was good-bye to Gingrich the Speaker of the House at the same time.
I can’t find this on the CNN site but you can view it at You Tube here:
The thought of throwing rocks if you live in a class house comes to mind on that.
Wood also addressed the 24/7 infotainment/news craving for all things personal and private and what that appears to be doing to candidates in this day and time.
I think I see Lin Wood carving out that a politician does not have to openly share what is a very private life UNLESS it all checks out before you air it. Should the infotainment/news be allowed to fill the airwaves for 24/7 with rag magazines type gossip?
I am leaning towards Wood going for it. How is that Democratic US Senate Candidate Jeff Greene lawsuit going? The backlash on this is would it give the U. S. Supreme Court Justices a pass on conflict of interest? Or will it affect how the Court might rule on something like this coming before them?
Here is one more video I found, might be a copy because I did not have the chance to watch it before this post.
So tell us your thoughts, remember that anyone who can afford it can bring a lawsuit, but are these “news tidbits” out of line because they could be based on gossip and not facts? I did find the full interview transcript on the CNN site.

I had tuned into the press conference of Gloria Allred and her client, Sharon Bialek, the first woman to step forward publicly with sexual harassment charges against Herman Cain. I had wanted to see the interview, partially because the count is up to four women and partially because if a woman has been “wronged” in the last few years, here comes Allred.
However, I only watched about 4 – 6 minutes just the introduction by Allred and a few comments by Allred about her client Sharon Bialek when across the bottom of the screen came the announcement that the Dr. Conrad Murray verdict was in regarding the death of Michael Jackson. Once again bad timing for Allred, seems there was another crises like this that was bad timing once before for her, but I don’t remember that now, or who it was.
I remember that GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain had scheduled a news conference for his denial and I had better things to do…. but then the Google alerts began to come in…. and with those the name L. Lin Wood Jr. I perked up and for those of you who are behind in the world of politics he said, she said, he said, and piling on candidates, often eating their own; I wanted to know what was going on to pull in two attorneys not normally found in any cases together.
Here is L. Lin Wood’s prelude to Hermain Cain’s press conference:
Well the confidence exuded from Wood for those five minutes. And for legal junkies like myself that was worth taking note about.
Of all of the articles out there the one I like the best was from the Catholic Online by By Keith A Fournier.
Fournier summed it up perfectly:
As a Constitutional Lawyer, it was the first part of the Conference which sent the signal I was watching for. Herman Cain is going to aggressively fight these allegations. In fact, he is very, very serious about it. Let me explain the story behind the story which few in the media are covering adequately.
When I saw high Profile Lawyer, L. Lin Wood Jr. step out on the platform – and then step up confidently to the podium – I knew what was going to follow. Not only in the ensuing Press Conference but in this entire matter as it continues to unfold over the coming weeks. This is a war, and Herman Cain has just recruited a General..
L. Lin Woods is a powerhouse Libel and defamation lawyer with an earned expertise in the intersection between the First Amendment to the Constitution and the right of all citizens to protect their reputation. He is no stranger to representing high profile clients – it has made him a wealthy man and earned him the reputation of being a “lawyer’s lawyer”. He is highly respected in the legal community because of his track record. He is very good at what he does.
…
“Wood’s appearance speaks loudly for those who can read the legal tea leaves. He gave a strong and clear defense of Herman Cain before the microphone revealing his advocacy skills. He told the reporters, “I have represented people who were victims of false accusation, on trial in the Court of Public opinion.”
Indeed he has; he is the expert in this field. He told an interviewer in 2005 “I believe that courts, since the 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, have steadily eroded the ability of individuals and entities to redress false attacks on reputation by overemphasizing the need to safeguard First Amendment rights.”
Wood’s appearance speaks loudly for those who can read the legal tea leaves. He gave a strong and clear defense of Herman Cain before the microphone revealing his advocacy skills. He told the reporters, “I have represented people who were victims of false accusation, on trial in the Court of Public opinion.”
L. Lin Wood, Esq. is a heavyweight fighter who boxes with words. He understands the necessary balance between the First Amendment’s protection of a Free Press and the right of even public figures to protect their reputations from false accusations. He is the kind of lawyer we in the profession call a “dog with a bone.” He is competent, persistent, aggressive and willing to do battle. He is the real story behind the story in this Herman Cain Press Conference.
….”
However, the story behind the story is that Herman Cain intends to fight these allegations aggressively and continue his candidacy for the Republican nomination. He has hired one of the best libel and defamation lawyers in the Nation. Watch as L Lin Woods steps into the ring. This entire event is far from over, the bell has just sounded for round one.
So it is over, up steps Lin Wood and the four women fold???? Not on your life, Gloria Allred is not to be deter by Wood. She was back on this morning with her client Bialek “suggesting today, Wednesday, that the presidential contender was lying yesterday when he said he doesn’t remember Bialek.”
So now we have the first real shot across the bow and a declaration of perhaps a war in words or actions soon to follow.

The latest potential train wrecks, Da Kardashians — Kim and her BIG sister Kourtney — were exiting a car when some poor photographer got very close, it is being reported. And Kim and BIG sis Kourtney’s security thugs took care of business. What does that mean? Just because the guy has a camera does not make him a “threat,“ as a matter of fact is it not these very same people who made these nobodies somebodies?
The members of our security details are off-duty police and sheriff deputies and above all gentlemen. You can still have “security” and not get sued or arrested, it is called having trained people in place and COMMON SENSE. During the Phil Spectre circus we saw his “security“ team and being that he was so rich it would appear that he had paid by the pound for the two cows in very large suits that accompanied him and his wife to and from the court.
…For Nazarian and Associates, we don’t hire people by how many pounds they weigh but for what they have between their ears: brains. …
And how about this, you don’t want the attention, don’t leak your schedule to the paparazzi and chances are they won’t be there. Ahhhh, that would be too disappointing, no one to take your picture and document how surprised you look. OH NO, but then TMZ would not have you to make comments about on there site. There are dozens of ways to keep from being confronted by the photogs. A perfect example is when Adam Braun and I accompanied a client to be booked for the Anna Nicole [Smith] debacle…there was no photo of her entering the police station, and no photo of her leaving. Also keep in mind that I planned the entire event and the best part NO MUG SHOT! We don’t want to be sued and we don’t want to attack the very people who make us famous, THE PAPARAZZI, these men and women provide a service. For sure there are times when you wish they were not parked in front of your house or apartment. How about this, send for coffee and sandwiches for them while they are camped out and maybe they will give you a break. We use other less pleasant tactics but they are harmless…who can predict a broken hose or sprinklers going off by accident?
When a real threat is in place, get out of the area quickly and use the appropriate force to do that. Having trained professionals will do the trick and you don’t get that for 50 bucks an hour. But if you hire meat to beat people and smack them around and break their cameras, you’ll PAY FOR IT in bail, lawyers and settlements.

Happy Birthday “No Fault Divorce,” 40 years old and counting. Well, happy for some anyways, certainly not for all. It was 1970 when the California law took effect. Now it is practiced in every state, except New York, ahhhh the East, gotta love em!
“No Fault Divorce” is a wonderful thing, except for one little thing, the human element. What is that you ask?… …blood pressure meds are a bitch. Oh for sure “No Fault” is here to stay, and so is the human element. …
…No Fault is for many just a legal term, and private investigators know darn well that there has to be “fault” and it is laying right next to “reason.” It has to be someone’s “fault” that he or she no longer loves me, and further more I want to know the “reason.” Just like in the days before No Fault. …
…No Fault there are several states that are not so friendly towards the female part in the divorce, for example Ohio. Ohio seems to lean towards the sperm donor’s side in regards to community property and support…it is just how it seems to me. I love the Chili Dogs in Toledo.
Happy Birthday “No Fault” and thanks for keeping a roof over my head!

Once again it’s “Super Lawyers” time…folks, this is so embarrassing! Embarrassing from the point that this is PAID PUBLICITY, paid for by the “Super Lawyers” themselves. Sure I have heard all about the “point system” and “input from peers,” I am just having problems telling Bullshit from Roses.
…Input from peers, and 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement-things like experience, verdicts, and settlements, transactions, clients, honors and awards — this was taken from “Super Lawyers” on how the “Supers” are selected…I am not buying it.
…And it gets even better, there is Top 10 Law Schools, The Top 100, The Top 50, The Rising Stars. Well how about this, The Biggest Wallet, The Newest Rolls Royce, The Biggest Gut, The Smallest Feet, our favorites The Best Dressed, The Worst Dressed, The Worst Breath, The Biggest Ego, The Coolest Offices, and as you see this could go on and on.
…I know some of these lawyers, and to call them “Super” would be a little like watching a train wreck and applauding. There are some very good lawyers on the list… …Oh that is one of the other fun things you can do if you buy one of these silly advertising gimmicks and that is having it framed and hanging in your office…problem, they are also hanging in all of the other “Super Lawyers” offices…..why? They too paid for it!
Hmm, I just had a thought, they should reach out to all of those unhappy clients who may have hired a “Super Lawyer” from this list and got hammered. We could then have the “Asswipe Awards,”… …could be a money maker too, and at least it would be honest and heart-felt.
Note: “Super Lawyers” does print this: “You may wonder whether lawyers pay to be included. The simple and unequivocal answer is no. …who writes this stuff? guys in long coats, tall hats and carpet bags?
DesperateExes.com will be posting our own list of lawyers who we think are the best here in the Southern California area, based on our experience and observation, not payola. But if anyone wants to send us $25,000, we’ll be happy to post your picture, suitable for framing!
To get the most from this article and Ken could hear me laughing across our house, and you can’t even hear the dogs barked from that distance; this full article is a must read, laughter is good for the soul. WARNING: Do not have any type of drink in hand or take a sip you too could have a screen full of cola as I did while reading this.
Be sure you visit the rest of Desperate Exes.com while there some great, funny and some serious articles. My vote is John J. Nazarian should write a book, call it Desperate Exes!.

How does she do it? “She” being Gloria Allred. Party girl and self-proclaimed Tiger Woods paramour Rachel Uchitel has flown from New York to Los Angeles to “talk to Gloria.” …Gloria did “the grab.” You know, as long as the cameras are rolling, grab an arm, a hand, and hold on for dear life, that way you will be in every shot. For some reason these kind of people find Gloria or Gloria finds them. There is a media storm brewing where Miss Allred will have Uchitel in her clutches on any and all TV news shows…hurry Gloria, Oprah is on her way out!
I met Miss Allred at an Academy Awards function a few years ago….
…Do I think that this was just Tiger backing out of the driveway and hitting a hydrant and a tree…NO! Do I think that his wife may have smacked him a whole lotta times, perhaps, and do I think that Tiger is attempting to keep his sponsors in the world of wonderment, YES…Tiger Woods has millions on the line as to his endorsements, and even Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren have a right to handle their affairs in private. The look on Tiger Woods’ face speaks volumes about what he is going through, leave him and his wife alone!
Private is exactly what Ms. Gloria Allred hates, “get me the media and get it fast,” to hell with the misery Mr. and Mrs. Woods may be going through… …Quite frankly would anyone of any real substance hire Allred or someone like Gagagosh? They both have very similar practices, but I am sure Gagagosh gets paid and paid very well, win or lose… …In the end Tiger Woods and his family will be fine and you my dear, well you know what I am thinking, and Gloria Allred, LMAO what was on your mind?
