“Trial lawyer taking behind-the-scenes hand in Louisiana politics ”
There’s nothing new about a New Orleans politician putting out a comic book making himself out as a superhero and his opponent as a comic book villain. Richard A. (“Rick”) Tonry did that long ago — although in person Tonry looked more like the Pillsbury Dough Boy than Superman. And, how did it work out for Rick? (See United States of America v. Richard A. Tonry, 605 F.2d 144 (5th Cir. 1979)).
