Lanny Davis has been renowned the last several years as the "Pat Buchanan of FoxNews", the Democrat Fox drags out to talk on all manner of things when Joe Lieberman is busy. The key, of course, he actually talks as if he was Pat Buchanan. But when not undermining Democrats Lanny has had other employment. Being the virtual Mouth of Sauron in America for all manner of corporate assholes and international human rights violators willing to pay his fees. Ivory Coast, Pakistan, and Equatorial Guinea to name three of the latter. Lanny's Ivory Coast patron is warm and cuddly lover of humanity Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, known even in a continent that included Mubarak, Gaddafi, Gbagbo (Client) and Mugabe as "Africa's worst dictator". It is hard to believe that two such upstanding people as Mr. Davis and Mr. Mbasogo have run into a spot of bother.

Lanny Davis... is suing the Republic of Equatorial Guinea for stiffing him on a legal bill.

I can only assume Mr. Davis will attempt to make up his losses by representing some investment firm and denouncing #OccupyWallStreet as a bunch of dirty hippies for $1,500 an hour. (photo Kvatch at flickr.com) [cross-posted at Firedoglake]
