    Do those supporting Scruggs think Mr. Balducci was alone in this? Mississippi attorney Timothy Balducci on Tuesday entered a plea of guilty to conspiring to bribe a judge, and delivering $40,000 to a judge at the request of attorney Richard Scruggs. Scruggs and other attorneys involved have pleaded not guilty.

    Scruggs (fitting name isn’t it?) is a local hoodlum made good by plying his disgustful trade in one of the worst venues in the US. The system there is more corrupt than most places and it’s an incestuous game of insiders making one another wealthy. The state of Mississippi and Lousiana for that matter need to be fumigated, and the likes of Scruggs and his legal mafia put out of business. I hope Balducci’s life insurance policy is paid up and that he moved his family out of state. Bad things tend to happen when you corner a rat.

    Maybe this is why Sen. Trent Lott resigned. He must be tied up in this somehow.

    Sewer Rat,s State Farm Insurance is suing Mississippi’s attorney general, accusing him of violating an agreement to end a criminal investigation of the insurer’s handling of claims on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, according to court papers unsealed Friday.

    State Farm’s lawsuit claims that the attorney general, Jim Hood, reopened a criminal investigation of the company and its employees “for the purpose of harassment” and to coerce the insurer into settling civil litigation spawned by the Aug. 29, 2005, hurricane.

    State Farm says Mr. Hood agreed in January to end his office’s criminal inquiry as part of a settlement agreement that called for the company to reopen and possibly pay thousands of policyholder claims.
