NOR SEXUAL PREFERENCE...:

Judge's career ended by allegations (Julie E. Bisbee, 2/08/05, The Associated Press)

Jurors and others in Judge Donald Thompson's courtroom kept hearing a strange whooshing noise, like a bicycle pump or maybe a blood pressure cuff. During one trial, Thompson seemed so distracted that some jurors thought he was playing a hand-held video game or tying fly-fishing lures behind the bench.

The explanation, investigators say, is even stranger than some imagined: The judge had a habit of masturbating with a penis pump under his robe during trials.


At last, a judge whose elevation Democrats can approve of.

Seems to me that the judge was only joining in with the lawyers appearing before him.

That would all fit perfectly if he was the judge for the Michael Jackson trial.

He's the cream of the crop.

Ya have to give the judge a hand for his cockiness.
He has real cojones.
And most likely has hairy palms, as well as being blind.

Is he a friend of Bill?

When I was a young reporter on the police beat, we had a municipal judge who massaged his crotch whenever hearing a prostitution case.

It wasn't the worst behavior I've ever seen on the bench, either, not by a long shot.
