What is the opposite of a "happy ending?"

The great Jane Ann Morrison over at the RJ busted two District Court Judges for using jury deliberation rooms as their own private massage parlors. The judges in question are Elissa Cadish and Susan Johnson. From Morrison's blog:
Cadish was the instigator. She said her former law firm let a massage therapist visit the law office for the convenience of employees. About a year ago, she contacted him and he started coming up on Fridays, setting up his massage bench in the jury deliberation room and offering massages for a dollar a minute like the ones at the mall.
Damn. Hale Lane hires massage therapists for the convenience of their employees? Nice!

The judges were just getting upper body massages, no nudity involved, but Chief Judge T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr. (again, the most pretentious name on the bench) thought that the public perception of the massages may be a problem. Thus, Judge Ritchie has asked that if the judges insist on continuing with the massages, they have them done in their private chambers. Yeah, that should help with perception.

  2. Ditto.
    It was a slow news day apparently. I think the author was trying to imply that something wrong could have been going on. But yes, who cares.

  3. Wow. If only we didn't live in such a boring town where things like this passed for scandal. Halverson is rolling over in her waterbed right now. Surf's up.

  4. Wow, this is wicked-old news. I was a law clerk when Cadish started. She put out a public e-mail to the whole building informing the masses that a massage therapist would be there once a week for sessions.

  6. I don't think Cadish will face political troubles over the massage, but I'll bet she'll have an opponent based upon the arrogrant, pissy attitude her JEA is giving to attorneys. That guy is a prick.

  7. Seriously, who the f cares if a judge gets a chair massage? I could use one right now. The bigotry and idiocy of the masses never ceases to amaze me. And Morrison should be ashamed of her uptight, fat-ass self.

  8. By the way, Hale Lane didn't pay for employee massages. The therapist works in the Hughes center and Hale Lane just made a conference room available to him for employees who wanted to pay for their own massages.
