DHECC - An ex parte "partey"


Isn't this quaint?  Right after a hearing Judge Carl Barbier held yesterday about Act 495, he and Magistrate Judge Sally Shushan decided to wind down at Annunciation restaurant in New Orleans' Warehouse District with none other than DHECC Claims Administrator Pat Juneau.



Yeah...you know Pat...the guy BP is asking to have removed from the settlement...the guy that perjured himself in a deposition taken under Barbier's court...the guy who allowed PSC members to expedite their own claims ahead of everyone else in the settlement.

I wonder who footed the bill on this one; I seriously doubt they went dutch.

Better yet, I wonder if it was expensed to the Claims Office.  Must be nice to be so cozy with the judge who's responsible for deciding your fate.  Fortuna has certainly shone her light upon Mr. Juneau.

Who knows?  Maybe they were just discussing the Saints' problems with the pass rush....or Mary Landrieu's keg stander...or whatever Emeril was bitching at Obama about...or where you can get cheap Viagra online.

I'm certainly unsure they never once discussed the settlement.

Hey, what was that whole fuss Freeh brought up about "unclean hands" and the mere appearance of impropriety?

Ah never mind.....I hear the fried oysters are to die for at Annunciation.  The BBQ shrimp will certainly leave one with unclean hands.
