Male Judge + DWI + Little Black Dress + Fishnets = Judge of the Day
There are reasons to read the New Hampshire Union Leader even after primary season is over. Check out this great article:
A Boston-based federal judge wore a black cocktail dress, fish-net stockings and high heels when police arrested him for drunk driving after he rear-ended a pickup truck last week, sources said.U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Somma, 63, struck a plea deal with the city Wednesday in which he pleaded no contest to a first-offense misdemeanor driving while intoxicated charge in Manchester District Court. In exchange, the judge agreed to pay $600 in fines and penalties and a 12-month license suspension....
The arresting officer made no mention of the judge's attire in the written report police provided to the media other than to note the judge "had a difficult time locating his license in his purse."
Two sources confirmed Somma was wearing a cocktail dress, women's hose and high heels when his Mercedes-Benz E320 sedan struck a pickup truck stopped at a red light on Elm Street about 11:29 p.m. on Feb. 6.
Whatever floats your boat, Your Honor. Judge not lest ye be judged.

Who says lawyers aren't good at math? That was a nice equation in the heading Lat.

I think Ann Coulter's ads pop up on any man-in-drag related newsstory. Viral marketing and the whatnot.

i think all of our judges should "kick up their heels" now and again....preferably six inch spike...

i think the most pressing question may be: "Wig or no wig????". Without one, his evening ensemble seems to have been less than complete...

I am sure that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for his honor’s attire.

Only and Article I judge would do something so stupid.
Cross-dressing Judge Somma will soon be in forced retirement with fat Judge Halverson.
