Even though Junior John prevaricates and breaks his promises nobody has endeavored to place his voting record next to his promises

The first line of this article discredits this article from the get go. I almost didnt read it any further.

The article itself is an accurate Modus Operandi of Junior John.



“Junior John can write an article for every newspaper in Texas, but his empty rhetoric does nothing to provide our firefighters with the equipment they need to protect themselves or the people of Texas,” said Richie. “Junior John keeps talking out of both sides of his mouth, hoping that Texas voters will believe what he says at home and ignore what he does in Washington .”


In example: GI Forum piggy back letter now disappeared from the Newspaper website.

Senatorial Prevarication: Junior John has always been able to say WATT ever he needed to say, promise WATT ever he needed to promise and in Washington vote and act in the obtuse of his word and break promises he never intended to keep. Even though Junior John prevaricates and breaks his promises nobody has endeavored to place his voting record next to his promises and commitments where they can be easily checked.

With Junior John, he has never been a good guy; but he always twirls the policy and influence (that he controls) to project an image of goodwill and honesty. A false image, but a believable image if one can buy the outer shell without any research or due diligence to discover the reality (reasoning) of his actions.

Janus-faced - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another; "she was a deceitful scheming little thing"- Israel Zangwill; "a double-dealing double agent"; "a double-faced infernal traitor and schemer"- W.M.Thackeray

Surprise, now the oral spoke word becomes the written word as it is published on the World Wide Web as is the way he votes.

Do they correlate?

Hell no, not even close.

Besides being disingenuous, his articles appear to be modified versions of other's work product or just a baffle em with bull sh/t and they will believe it attempt to poke eyes as he has had success with in the spoken word.

Not possible in the written word as once it hits the web it will remain clear and concise without wiggle room.

It just goes to show us how low intellect he believes we are.

And quit saying his name, it is free publicity and gives him name recognition.

Junior John & K C Rove

South Texas Chisme: It's Monday. It must be blog roundup time!

South Texas Chisme: Could it be true, Is Fil Vela involved with Connie Scott? Treasurer? TLR hates South Texas, does that include Connie and her Hubby? WATTS his name? Mike Scott?

We dont need to speculate or debate how Junior John will vote
, who he will benefit and who he represents. No if ands or buts about it Junior John’s Record is who he is, how he votes, who he represents and it is not the average Texan and not the mainstream Texas but he represents the Transplanted Texans (like Bush) and the Elite Texans (like K.C.Rove). Junior John will say WATT ever it takes to get re elected. He is working with Fil Vela Jr. & Federal Prosecutors (in the Valley, CC, SA & Houston) to Manufacture White Collar Crime and use it as a Political Strongarm when the Political Strongarm should be accomplishments and the actual construction of a VA Hospital in the Valley. Fil & Junior John ( the Two Juniors) dont give a hoot about a VA Hospital or Children’s Healthcare, he dont care about WATT the people want or need, Fil Junior only seeks a Federal Bench for Rose and Junior John wants us to believe his promises. It wont happen like that for the Two Juniors.

How Long Can Karl Rove Acquiesce? Where you at boy? Why you be hidin? Are you just gonna stand around and take it?

Nice piece of work and a very entertaining read.

However, we do diverge slightly.

Nothing Focuses The Mind as Much as Electoral Peril

Filed by Boadicea on August 10th, 2007


I have a confession to make.

I used to think John Cornyn was okay for a Republican. I grew up in AZ with Republicans like Barry Goldwater and Paul Fannin (okay, yes, and Evan Meacham, but nobody liked him by the time we got to know him) . These were Republicans we could fight like hell with and still respect as basically decent human beings.

I thought John Cornyn was one of those when he was Atty General. I didn’t know at the time about his brush with the soon to be infamous Jack Abramoff.



Reagan,..... I liked Reagan; the Iranians responded to his election ascension to the Oval office. I didnt like Peter Grace but I liked Oliver North and I liked WATT they were doing in Central & South America. After all of the research into the Church Universal and residing in the richest diocese in the world, I don't know that I agree with it all now. As far as Ambramoff, we have to look to the origins. The Ambramoff "all we need is an Indian" establishment of Gambling rackets appears to materialize out of the creation of the Office of Indian Gaming Management


The Office of Indian Gaming Management, under the supervision of the Deputy Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs for Economic Development and Policy, is responsible for implementing those gaming-related activities assigned to the Bureau of Indian Affairs by the Indian Gaming regulatory Act of 1988 and other Federal laws. The office develops policies and procedures for review and approval of: tribal/state compacts; per capita distributions of gaming revenues; and requests to take land into trust for purpose of conducting gaming. Work is coordinated with the National Indian Gaming Commission and with the state, local and tribal governments that may be impacted by gaming proposals.


In 1999 the manipulation of the original act begins and can be accessed by clicking this link.


The point being, Ambramoff's money and influence covers both sides of the aisle.


With Junior John, he has never been a good guy; but he always twirls the policy and influence (that he controls) to project an image of goodwill and honesty. A false image, but a believable image if one can buy the outer shell without any research or due diligence to discover the reality (reasoning) of his actions.

Janus-faced - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another; "she was a deceitful scheming little thing"- Israel Zangwill; "a double-dealing double agent"; "a double-faced infernal traitor and schemer"- W.M.Thackeray



In example I submit Saldano v Texas where Junior John furnishes the disingenuous reasoning of civil rights violations to confess error.

In Saldano v State, Cornyn confessed error to achieve a GVR and get it back
to Texas

Certiorari Granted—Vacated and Remanded
>
> No. 99–8119. Saldano v. Texas. Ct. Crim. App. Tex. Motion
>
> of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted.
>
> Certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded for further
>
> consideration in light of the confession of error by the Solicitor
>
> General of Texas.


In reality, Saldano who was sentenced to death, petitioned the US Supreme Court by writ of Certiorari on the grounds
claiming that he had been denied due process of law because his race and ethnicity were improperly used to support a finding of future dangerousness during the punishment phase of his trial.

The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari. Before the Supreme Court, the Attorney General of the State of Texas (Junior John) assumed representation of the State. 1 The Attorney General confessed error in Saldano’s sentencing and declined to raise Saldano’s procedural default as a defense. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment against Saldano and “remanded to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas for further consideration in light of the confession of error.” Saldano v. Texas , 530 U.S. 1212, 1212 (2000). 2

Cornyn's Confession of error in the US Sup Court (Saldano v. State) is made
out to present the image that Cornyn stood up for Civil Rights. Junior John's PR
team takes the opportunity and flaunts the confession of error as a defense of civil rights, "The Texas solicitor general, John Cornyn, is to be praised for the confession of error, for his review to find other such cases, and for his position that it was "inappropriate" and "improper" for the state to urge jurors to consider race and ethnicity in determining a criminal's "future dangerousness.


The real reason Junior John confessed error was to achieve a GVR from SCOTUS and get it back to the Texas Court System.

Junior John by confessing error, wiggled out of placing civil rights violations and fallacial argument ("the correlation of race and recidivism did not constitute fundamental error") in the hands of U S
Supreme Court.

Junior John supported this position but it would have entertained serious Civil Rights violations and draw the wrath of Public Opinion .

On remand to the CCA the court found that "evidence regarding the correlation of race and
recidivism did not constitute fundamental error and that "the State's
confession of error in the Supreme Court of the United
States is contrary to our state's procedural law for presenting a claim on
appeal, as well as the Supreme Court's enforcement of such procedural law
when it is presented with equal-protection claims."
Saldano v. State, 70 S.W.3d 873, 891 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002).

By EDWARD LAZARUS

First, in seeking the death penalty, prosecutors sometimes overlook glaring illegalities.
"courts, especially state courts, are too often willing to overlook even obvious constitutional flaws when reviewing death penalty cases." And if they are "willing to overlook even obvious constitutional flaws and glaring illegalities when Prosecuting & reviewing death penalty cases." What about the rest of us?


Now, the State of Texas' procedure on confession of error conflicts with the U S Supreme Courts' procedure which reveals, that it wasn't Junior John standing up for Civil Rights but Junior John practicing Political Expediency. Junior John's actions were nothing
more than a way to cheat due process. Junior John was crying uncle so he could get back up and throw a sucker punch by proxy via the CCA.

Then he went to the Senate, and whatever good sense he’d been gifted with at birth evaporated from exposure to corruption and ambition. Box Turtles were no longer safe in their shells, but were enlisted in the war against marriage equality.


Junior John was appointed to the Senate (originally) which allowed him to gain name recognition and gain favor from sycophantically serving the extreme right wing and their agenda. In the war against humanity with his immigration policy. While now, trying to renege on certain policy making attempts to build a wall along our whole Southern Border that he was absolutely promoting, is he not now claiming he never supported it and that National Policy never supported it. Then he flips to a fence and finally to a fence in certain areas. Junior John remains against amnesty. Junior John voted against granting amnesty to 12 million immigrants who already reside within our borders and who for the majority are productive human beings who supply a labor niche we depend on. ,

Is Junior John saying WATT ever it takes to get re elected as we approach an election?

He wont back up his words. "If all we need is for Junior John to "put in a good word" for things to get accomplished, then he is the roadblock.

Junior John is the roadblock to the VA Hospital.

Junior John is the roadblock to Amnesty for 12 Million human beings.

Junior John is the roadblock to the Children's Health Insurance Plan.

Junior John is the roadblock to the ___________________ (fill in the blank)

If Junior John wanted these things; then surely, he would have already "put in a good word" for us doncha figure?

I cannot envision Junior John compromising his racist hater vote demographic for middle ground with respect to the amnesty issue. IMO he identifies with the Smith County mentality and this mentality (not limited to Smith County) is where Junior John is firmly rooted.

Campeon & Ramos - Heck, if all Compean & Ramos needed was for Junior John to "put in a good word" for them, then he was the roadblock. He did it not out of goodwill, but to draw favor from a large demographic group.



VA Hospital brings allies of Junior John to South Texas to act like they are going to do something and make promises they never intend to keep.

Kinda like fishing on credit IMHO.

GI Forum piggy back letter now disappeared from the Newspaper website.

  • Fight crime by securing our borders. (Jun 2002)

Junior John never needed a South Texas vote before. He will now learn a valuable lesson, when South Texas speaks Texas listens.

How about putting a good word in for Ramsey Muniz?



Junior John supports the Libby Commutation But a Chicano Attorney who still has the potential of becoming an icon embraced by a political diversity they must keep in a cage


In the war to educate our youth, Junior John voted against funding


  • Voted NO on $52M for "21st century community learning centers". (Oct 2005)
  • Voted NO on $5B for grants to local educational agencies. (Oct 2005)
  • Voted NO on shifting $11B from corporate tax loopholes to education. (Mar 2005)
  • Rated 27% by the NEA, indicating anti-public education votes. (Dec 2003)


Junior John voted against renewing the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides health insurance for the children of working families who can’t afford private coverage but don’t qualify for Medicaid.



In the war against Gangs Junior John comes to my city Corpus Christi and acts like it is his hard work that brings a federal grant when in reality the Federal Grant comes from the hard work of community leaders and citizens. Selective information sources have been identified. Thanks guys I will take this in consideration in the future.

But this is Texas, and we’ve all heard about how Republicans rule in Texas. I thought this was as good as it was going to get.

Then, when Abu Ghraib Gonzales was up for confirmation as Atty General of the United States, I decided to write my United States Senators about my concerns. I didn’t think that an apologist for torture who described international treaties as “quaint” was someone who could be trusted with the Constitution.

I got back a form lecture about how Box Turtle John’s Best Friend Forever, Alberto Gonzales, had pulled himself up by his immigrant bootstraps (which somehow got attached to George W. Bush’s coattails) and those of us who objected to this gifted (if tiny) one’s ascension from Presidential toady to Atty General were being a little bit anti-immigrant and racist.

Not one word about Abu Ghraib, or the now revealed atrocities perpetrated by Tiny Al as White House Counsel. No reassurance of any kind that Congressional oversight would be invoked to protect my and my fellow citizens rights. That was the moment I swore I’d find some way to get a new U.S. Senator. Eventually that did lead me to the Draft Rick Noriega movement..


The Constitution is not the applicable law. In the Abu Gharib prison or the confinement of enemy prisoners "all is fair in war". The captured enemy is information and intel. I think maybe hog fat might be a more progressive information extraction method than the ones employed but the Geneva Convention only binds our nation while all other run rogue over it. Nobody else adheres to it and in fact it is an advantage when American humanity is engaged to defend pure & evil. Hey, you gotta fight fire with fire, any soldier knows this. WATT would be the proper actions for a Senator presented this situation? If he can give a woman a choice to torture & terminate the life of an unborn American certainly he can give a Soldier a choice how to handle (interrogate) the enemy?

So, it’s with some amusement that I note that somehow, John and his BFF appear to have had a falling out, according to the Austin American Statesman.

”He’s a good person, but I look at his jobs he’s held, and I wonder what has prepared him for being the head of the Department of Justice and 110,000 employees in a highly partisan and difficult political environment,” Cornyn told the American-Statesman editorial board.

You know when a good time to consider that might have been, Senator?

When he was up before the Senate for confirmation as the Attorney General of the United States, aka head of the Department of Justice.

Wonder why the thought didn’t occur to you then. Elections too far away, perhaps?


Junior John will say WATT he needs to say, promise who he needs to promise and play on the hope and good human nature of Texans for one reason. Who thinks Junior John is saying it because he means it, because he has every intention of doing it, because he is going to do WATT he says?

For those of you who answer affirmatively to the above question, please refer to that George Strait song. However, in Junior John's case, "He'll throw in the BND Bridge for free.


Filed by Boadicea on August 10th, 2007

Nothing focuses the political mind as much as electoral peril, and Texans have not one, but two excellent choices to replace the Senator who thinks he only represents ONE Texan.

Two Democrats who are exploring runs against Cornyn next year — San Antonio lawyer Michael Watts and state Rep. Rick Noriega of Houston — said Gonzales should resign. Noriega said Cornyn has sharpened his criticism of Gonzales because he’s got an eye on the 2008 election, and Watts said Cornyn “will never call for his resignation unless Karl Rove gives him permission.”

Well said, gentlemen.

I’m clearly a Noriega supporter, but the fact is either of the Democratic contenders would be a step up from Box Turtle John.

It’s a nice position for Dems to be in, but we have to remember the object lesson of the California Governor’s race last year-which had such a poisonously divisive primary that a weak incumbent returned to office, and two leading lights of the California Democratic primary damaged each other in the eyes of the electorate-possibly permanently.

Fight hard in the primary, but don’t salt the earth. We need to unite behind our standard bearer in the general election, or we’ll have another six years of Box Turtle John.

And no Texan deserves that.


I agree for the most part and with the divisive thing, absolutely.

Lubbockleft.com: The question for Mikal was why should we support him

Mikal’s response was in three parts:
  1. He (Mikal) has already put forward incredible effort through a constant travel and fundraising schedule, and will continue to do so.
  2. He can respond fast and well to the Karl Rove attack machine that will be coming with Cornyn’s campaign.
  3. He will compete and win in ALL areas of Texas, not just the historically Democratic areas.

A few intangibles most of you guys probably don't know.

  • I support the candidate whose Law Firm employs Attorneys who passionately fight for and support marriage equality.
  • I support the candidate whose Law Firm employs Attorneys whose ideology does not align with his ideology.
  • I support the candidate whose Law Firm employs some Attorneys with very strong progressive ideologies.
  • I support the candidate whose Law Firm employs Attorneys of various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.

I dont think you can say this of Junior John?

"IN THE KNOW": "Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all ships at sea," "Let’s go to press!


Just got back from hooking some Big Reds at the Mother Lagoon. Now, that's WATT I'm talkin bout invoking a FIGHT. I had not had an opportunity to read the Caller Times and Jamie Powell's Political Pulse and one of the guys came up and starting telling us how Junior John attacked the internet community and Mikal WATTSFORSENATE Campaign amateur. He said, "They are talking about you all over the Newspaper today". I asked him, "What do you mean? Who is "they"?

He said that Senator guy Cornyn, he is saying that the blogs and the internet message are an amateur way for WATTS to Campaign. He is saying Mikal Watts but he is talking about you.

Well, I am not with the WATTSFORSENATE Campaign but I am going against Junior John.

The said to me, you must be starting to irritate them, getting to them with things they cannot defend or else he wouldn't say anything.

I told him, "I am a fly, and I am going a Junior John, I am now in his ear, He will scratch and scratch at his ear trying to get me out, he will scratch until he is bleeding, he will himself to death trying to get me out of his ear."
Rothenberg Report, calling Watts' campaign Web site video, "the silliest, most transparent attempt to deliver a message I have ever seen."
Who is Rothenberg and why should we care WATT he says? It is enough to know he is trying to get Junior John re-elected. His writing is meaningless rhetoric. Transparent? Transparency is a good thing, but obviously transparency is a negative attribute of Government according to the GOP?
"If this is Mikal Watts' first attempt to draw attention to his campaign via the Internet he may ought to use another medium," said Texas GOP spokesman Hans Klingler. "Watts invoking the word 'fight' without the slightest idea or experience in any elected or leadership arena is comical."

We (Los Kenedenos) were going after Junior John prior to any Watts intentions to challenge the Junior Senator. Besides, why would a GOP Spokesman advise us? We are definitely in a good medium current or else ole Hans would not be advising us to "use another medium". We are definitely connecting with the "sweet spot" and they keep on changing pitchers. As far as fight, come and get it BOYS. Amateur, we take that as a compliment and it is a true statement, in our case.

WATT are you scared of Junior John?

Bring it now and may we dance everyday until the day when Texas will make their choice.

Invoking the word Fight?
"without the slightest idea or experience in any elected or leadership arena"


We know WATT Junior John's idea of leadership is, it is a sycophantic relationship with the GOP.

Junior John's Experience is his record and there is nothing there for the average Texan, there is nothing in his record for the South Texan or for the hispanic.

We got him building a border fence that was appropriated for, as a Concrete WAll.

Invoke the word FIGHT Mr Hans exclaims?

We will take our chances.

We stand waiting in the ring or in the alley whichever you choose Mr Hans Klingler.

As far as leadership and elected arenas, we got Junior John's record vs the hope that somebody has the balls to run his A$$ out of office.

We are here and the hope begins to grow.












The snowball now, only needs a little downward slope and then we just jump on for the ride.
We wont need to support it anymore and you guys cant stop it, it will just keep rolling and rolling and rolling.















You GOP guys, doncha you got a little better punch than that to throw? Where is all that salty dog experience of the "Professional Politician / Carpet Bagger"?


You know WATT I mean by Professional Carpetbagger?

  • come around only at election time
  • say and do WATT ever it takes to get re elected.
  • Quiet up about the Craddick transgressions even though you should denounce him,
  • mums the word on building a wall but let the racist haters know you still support it
  • and charm the Humanities and let them know you are for them and have always supported them
  • like you tried to you act like you are for the American GI Forum and have always supported the Hispanic culture in that plagiarized article in some East Texas Publication; where you were trying to use the image and spirit of DR Hector P Garcia.
Junior John is now officially a comedian.

Well he must be?
Isn't he trying to make us laugh?

Surely Junior John does not think we are stupid enough to believe his Cotton Eyed Joe song and Dance?


WATTS that word?

B U L L S H / T ! ! !




GOP suggests Watts' campaign is amateur

The Texas Republican Party went on the offensive Friday against lawyer Mikal Watts, who is making a run at Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn.

The state GOP cited a recent article by Stuart Rothenberg, author of the national political publication Rothenberg Report, calling Watts' campaign Web site video, "the silliest, most transparent attempt to deliver a message I have ever seen."

"If this is Mikal Watts' first attempt to draw attention to his campaign via the Internet he may ought to use another medium," said Texas GOP spokesman Hans Klingler. "Watts invoking the word 'fight' without the slightest idea or experience in any elected or leadership arena is comical."

"IN THE KNOW": Anybody need 5 Brand New Faulty Firestone Tires for their Family Vehicle? Hurry while vacation season is still here!

Google Yourself Corpus Christi: setexasrec: If you disagree, I got 4 brand spankin new ones to put on your family vehicle; oh yeah & one spare just in case you survive the blow out.


So WATT does this mean for Texas?

Who is the author?

After reading this article i got to believe the author is not familiar with the adversarial process or the article is pure prevarication. Who wants to buy a vehicle without laminated windows. I don't, but in Mikal's argument it was just mental re-enforcement for the jury and he is representing his client with zeal. .In layman terms Laminated glass, which is two layers of plate glass with plastic laminate in between, is used on automotive windshields. It has been used for decades to keep objects from easily getting through the windshield and entering the vehicle. The negative is it prevent easy exit should one need to break the glass in order to escape in a submerged situation or something of that nature.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

KENEDENO: "I say hot damn we got ourselves a fighter, and advocate. Now there's an attribute money cant buy, a game mentality moving unencumbered through legal birds nests and over hurdles to accomplish results.

"Like a Pitbull in the Middle of a Bunch of Poodles upon Capitol Hill.

The bottom line is the tire is faulty but it is cheaper to pay the injured and dead than it is to replace all of the tires on all of the brand new vehicles. Well, at least that was the word according bean counters (Actuarial Analysts). I bet they dont work there anymore, eh? When an automaker knows there is a faulty product that will "cause a death or two" and they acquiesce, or continue to produce the vehicle with the defective product and they dont recall the defective product for WATT ever reason they need to pay.

Watt if you or your family member purchased a brand new Explorer or Expedition or
Excursion. You plan a vacation and plot out your trip planning to stop for the young ones at the rest areas and to stretch the legs and maybe even swap drivers. Everybody has their pillow and their reading material or headphones and music, for the kids you had the video screen and dvd systenm installed and you even went the extra mile and installed a Playstation III for the kids and the kids at heart.

So we are cruising and everyone is commenting on the comfort, the neat features, the enhanced entertainment, and the overall "On The Road" experience the new vehicle provides.

The last thing on their mind is breaking down, needing to check the fluids every few miles, or rolling down the window because the air conditioning dont work. The passengers and the driver feel secure and safe; maybe they dont even buckle up.

The next thing we know the vehicle has become impaired and unstable. The resulting tumbling, sliding, shattering of glass, screaming, and bending of metal that happens in less than a minute (but feels like a lifetime) comes to a rest and there is a eerie silence for a moment. Then the lucky ones can moan in their pain and the silent ones Vaya Con DIOS. How long before the Halo FLight? How long before rescue?

And you come to find out you have lost 1 or 2 or 5 of your loved ones because of something that makes no sense at all.

I am not talking about the Blowout people, I am talking about the decision made by the automaker that your loved ones were just another number, a casualty in the name of profits.

Would you want an advocate fighting for your interests like Mikal Watts fights the giant automakers?

If you disagree, I got 4 brand spankin new ones to put on your family vehicle; oh yeah and one spare just in case you survive the blow out.

Mikal Watts' arguments
http://www.setexasrecord.com/arguments/198814-mikal-watts-arguments

8/4/2007 10:58 AM

Three college girls are driving cross-country pulling a U-Haul trailer while simultaneously sharing a bag of marijuana. About 20 hours into the voyage, the driver brakes hard on a hill and loses control, sending the car off the side of the road.

They weren't wearing seat belts.

Was she high? Fatigued? Did she forget that breaking hard on a downslope while pulling a fully-stuffed U-Haul is a big no-no?

Whatever. Represented by Corpus Christi plaintiff's lawyer Mikal Watts in a suburban Houston courtroom, she demanded millions in damages over the accident-- from a tire maker.

No matter that Texas state investigators blamed the wreck on driver error and speeding, concluding the tires remained intact after the crash and worked just fine. Still, Watts argued they were wrong, that it wasn't her fault. He even demanded the judge declare a mistrial when the defense had the nerve to raise the girl's driving-while-pot smoking in court.

Is this the kind of guy-- one who would make such a specious, if self-serving, argument with a straight face-- that we want representing Texas in the U.S. Senate?

Mr. Watts, a 39-year-old mega-millionaire and judge's son who flies private, is traveling the state this summer, raising money and straining to re-define himself as a populist "everyman" in preparation for the Spring 2008 Democrat primary election.

He made his bones making arguments like the aforementioned, suing automakers and other businesses. But suffice to say, he won't be bragging on the campaign trail about the "marijuana mistrial" or his lawsuit blaming Ford for an accident in which the driver was speeding, had been drinking and wasn't wearing a seat belt.

The automaker was at fault because, according to Watts, it didn't laminate its side windows.

Watts will also remain mum about the embarrassing hiccup in that Ford case-- when it was revealed mid-trial that one of his associate lawyers was dating one of the jurors. She had even helped him "recruit" two of the plaintiffs for Watts, evidence showed.

Apparently under no ethical obligation to tell the court about this, Watts remained quiet and steadfast. It paid off-- he won a $31 million verdict.

"Mikal Watts has spent his entire career fighting on behalf of average, working Texans," promised his spokesman in a recent interview.

Don't believe it just because he says so.
