Speaking of legal defenses: A fascinating one is described in The La Crosse (Wis.) Tribune, sent in by alert reader Jim Hansen. The paper quotes a police report as saying that a motorist who had been stopped on suspicion of drunken driving ‘attempted to thwart the arresting officer by covering his ears and saying, ‘I cannot hear you, la la la la la.’ ”

Incredibly, this legal defense did not work, even though it is almost identical to the one used successfully by President Clinton during his impeachment trial on charges of extreme mentoring.

I have no use for politicians of either ilk, but this made me laugh.
