Going forward, I shall appraise all skirt suits as to their degree of slatternlyness.

"Anal, for a carton of Camel Lights?"

...rather slatternly...

This is a pretty good pitch, but I have a couple of notes:

Shaquandra should be a lesbian – there’s always a gay best friend in these Hallmark stories.

We need some background/origin story for Simone. How does one become both a doctor and lawyer while also being certifiably insane? I suggest at night school “programs,” the kind that used to advertise inside matchbook covers.

Other than that, it’s a green light.

Heather Cox Richardson reporting:

Jamie Raskin said yesterday: “New evidence is breaking every single day now. Suddenly, a lot of people want to tell the truth.”

It appears that the former president thinks the same thing. Before today’s hearing, he wrote: “I DEMAND EQUAL TIME!!!”

Fair enough, boyo. 20 years seems equitable.

Just curious. Now that she's convicted, does this mean she no longer has lawyer credentials?

Amazing: Both brilliant and deliriously lurid.

Sorry to say, though, I know I shouldn’t be but I’m amused by this:

WARDEN: [Kindly, Wilford Brimleyesque] Tsk tsk, Simone, what am I gonna do with you?

SIMONE: Anal, for a carton of Camel Lights?

Hilarious as always. I don't know if anyone calls them this, but Camel Lights are now Camel Blues. You can even get Camel Blue 99's -- which I guess sounds cooler than 100's. (I was a smoker long ago so I looked it up just to see if they still existed.)

At first, I thought she'd run for Congress on the line, "I went to prison for my beliefs, just like Nelson Mandela", and then I realized it'd more likely be "I went to prison for my beliefs, just like Adolf Hitler."

Her asking the "waiter" if it's free-range reminds me of a bit from the old Nat. Lampoon Radio Hour, set in a Club Fed-type white collar prison:

MAN 1: Psst! Spread the word! Tonight at midnight we're going over the wall.

MAN 2: Not in THESE pants, I'm not.

Simone’s judge dissed her so good: “You’re smart,a doctor. You should be proud. But you’re a criminal piece of remorseless shit who used your prosecution to falsely claim your 1st Amendment rights were being trampled to raise $433,000 off the morons who believe you, you fucking asshole.” (Edited for length.)
