Blast From the Past: Douchebag Lawyer Thinks He's Above the Law

Blast from the past. I wrote this entry in June, but didn't post it for some reason. There are a couple posts like that and I'll be releasing them for your pleasure (all 2 of you). Enjoy.

Ah, Tuberculosis. It's one of those diseases that you think, "Eh. It can't be as bad as AIDS, so why should I care?" As many of you have read in the news, Andrew Speaker was diagnosed with TB before he left for Italy for his wedding with Ms. Breast Implants... I mean new wife. Is it purported that the doctor said he was not contagious and it was safe for him to fly, but did caution him as a means to save his own ass. That's fine and not the issue. The problem and eventual douchebaggery begins when, after Speaker had left for Italy, it was found out that the TB Speaker had was not harmless, but what CNN described as a "
rare, extensively drug-resistant form, known as XDR-TB".

In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," Andrew Speaker, 31, said his father asked health officials whether Speaker was a risk to anyone, and health officials said he was not. "My dad taped it," he said.
"I said, 'What changed?" Speaker related. "When I left I was told I wasn't a threat to anyone. When I left I was told I wasn't contagious, what changed? Why are you abandoning me like this and expecting me to turn myself over for an indefinite time. What has changed?' And they did not have an answer for that."
Now there are several things wrong with his story. First off, he brought daddy into this. When daddies are involved you know shit is about to hit the fan. "My boy is an amazing human being. I mean look at the breasts on that woman. A man who can pick out breasts that big and hair that blond must the son of God. God would be me." I can understand how he would think the general population would think this tape would exonerate him from any wrongdoing, but he sounds like a whiney, spoiled, Cruel Intention-ed brat. And just because your dad taped a meeting before you left for Italy doesn't let you off the hook.

Secondly, he questions the subsequent diagnosis. "What changed?" he bitches. The CDC hunted your ass down in Italy. Something changed. Go with it. Tell your family. Have your new wife take you. Tell the world, but don't be an effing a-hole and get on a plane with hundreds of people.

His actions up until now seem very terrorist-like: Government is looking for you, hide from them, get on a place to Canada, sneak your ass back into the States. Doesn't seem weird at all. It's privileged bastards like this that make me glad I'm poor. I'm kidding. I don't want to be poor. I want to be effing rich. Scrooge McDuck rich.
