Ogden is a partner (or is for the moment until he cashes out) at one of the most respected law firms on the planet, and he was totally a gentleman, respectful of his employees and subordinates while maintaining very high standards, quick as a whip and happens also to be enjoyable, engaging company. He's no John Ashcroft, which fact is enough to make me want to walk over to Immaculate Conception parish down the street and light a candle in thanks. I cannot say more without betraying client confidences, but this business of him being a "porn lawyer" is pretty hilarious. I realize that some on the right are longing for the days of Ed The Meese, but Ogden is a class act as far as I am concerned, and evokes not Hugh Hefner in person, but Hefner's slightly geeky but brilliant corporate attorney (which he apparently was at some point, not my bailiwick.) I would be curious to see what Ogden's appointment and now confirmation mean to U.S. antitrust policy. Again, I would love to speculate further, but cannot without getting too deep into confidential work.

I, personally, did nothing about it, but my colleagues there did yeoman's work on exposing that asshole's sordid past. What the FUCK was the Obama administration thinking when they put him up for such a key role, anyway? He almost makes Dan Quayle and Harriet Myers look like plausible choices! J.
