A brain tumor claimed attorney Johnnie Cochran this morning. To mourn (well, lawyer mourn, by which we mean "celebrate") the man responsible for the Chewbacca Defense, we link to a couple of entrees with audio clips from fabulous website American Rhetoric, a site which indexes choice examples from cunning linguists: Assonance and Enthymeme, two styles of misleading puffery arguing for which Mr. Cochran will likely remain the goto example for the foreseeable future. At least until the legal system allows for carnival barkers to take up the practice.
