We are faced with the irony that the new chairman of the Republican National Committee is a former trial lawyer from Florida.

The RNC's New Ambulance Chaser

The Republican National Committee, which has worked hard to make "trial lawyer" a dirty word, just chose an ambulance chaser as its chairman. Oh sure, he's also a Cuban senator from Florida, but Mel Martinez started out his professional life by making millions as a plaintiff's attorney. During his 2004 senate race, primary challenger Bill McCollum dubbed Martinez "the John Edwards of Florida."

Despite his litigious roots, Martinez is not likely to take lawyer-bashing out of the GOP platform. Like all good trial lawyers who move into politics after making a lot of money, he has seen the light and embraced tort reform.

From the Tortellini

Could he be a sleeper agent for greedy trial lawyers? Or, has he been dazzled by the power of politics and lost his greedy ways?
