I've asked what he was wrong about, and I haven't read most of what started the latest round of Greenwald Derangement syndrome, so I'm assuming whatever it was he was right, because with all the hysteria and frantic typing, no one has said what he was wrong about.
Good list. Don't forget he made a bad joke once. Oh, and he represented a criminal once too. I know, he's a lawyer, but it was apparently a major crime for him to represent a criminal! Lawyers don't do that you know?
