It is possible for one to be good at their job and be a scumbag. Being good at your job doesn't absolve you of all other wrong doings. Good lawyer, yes. (for the hundredth time). Good person? He was repeatedly representing people who he knew were thieves and murderers. I could see doing one pro bono case for the sake of preserving the jury trial system and the presumption of innocence and shit like that there. But to repeatedly take money from these monsters? Fuck Oscar Goodman. And, his shunning of President Obama is inconsequential. Obama's shaken hands with people much wealthier and more influential than that shameless, dusty artifact from old Vegas.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
