After the law firm of King & Spalding reversed their decision to help the U.S. House of Representatives defend DOMA, Virginia's homophobic attorney general fired the Atlanta firm from work they had with his state.

Calling King & Spalding's DOMA decision an "obsequious act of weakness," Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli wrote a letter to the firm informing them of the firing: "King & Spalding's willingness to drop a client, the U.S. House of Representatives, in connection with the lawsuit challenging the Defense of Marriage Act was such an obsequious act of weakness that I feel compelled to end your legal association with Virginia so that there is no chance that one of my legal clients will be put in the embarrassing and difficult situation like the client you walked away from, the House of Representatives."

1. May I say that I regard Ken Cuccinelli...

...as one of many nuisances that currently infest the local, state, and federal government. I for one will be glad to see the back of him.

2. Amazing how full of hate and anger this clown is...

...he needs some serious counseling.

3. "obsequious"

: marked by or exhibiting a fawning attentiveness

Examples of OBSEQUIOUS:

She's constantly followed by obsequious assistants who will do anything she tells them to.

But the Democratic presidential nominee is commonly referred to as Elvis, and his running mate as Eddie Haskell, that obsequious weenie from '50s TV. —Guy Trebay, Village Voice, 28 July 1992



You've got to be kidding me! As far as I'm concerned, it shows the Law Firm has scruples, something apparently Cuccinelli is not familiar with. He can now go find the usual ambulance chasers.

Standard miserable Republican miscreant.
