"Will the real Robert A. Kahn please stand up!"

Soda Meilleur has left a new comment on your post, "Nice hair but what's wrong with you?"

Why are you attacking Herb Tarlek from WKRP? What has he ever done to you (other than hurt your eyes with his crazy suits)? Seriously, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what your beef is with ol' Herby!

Dear Soda Meilleur:

Thank you for writing and the kind words.

The picture we showed came from one of our favourite Blogs Truth To Power (www.accesstoinfo.blogspot.com) operated anonymously by The Public Eye a Canadian attorney.

Sometimes we've noticed TPE will use a different picture than that of the individual featured in an article to make a subtle point - a parody if you will, which is what we think happened in this case. Perhaps they'll contact us to confirm our suspicion.

Here's a couple pictures of actor Frank Bonner who played Herb Tarlek the boorish, tastless advertising executive in the late 1970's-early 80's television series WKRP in Cincinnati. "Herby" as you know had a penchant for loud plaid jackets and a white belt to match his shoes.

The subject of the Truth To Power posting was, in fact, Robert A. Kahn a New York lawyer suspended for 6 months during 2005 for what could best be described as lewd and lascivious behaviour in and around a courtroom.

Sincerely,

Clare L. Pieuk

I appreciate your interpretation of the metaphoric role that pictures and images often play on my blog. That certainly was the intention in posting a pic of Herb Tarlek to represent this vile New York lawyer. Herb Tarlek was mild and polite compared to the illustrious Mr. Kahn.

And, by the way: I'm not through with Mr. Kahn. As you will see from his latest conduct, this is a man who apparently cannot prevent himself from acting boorishly. This is my vice as well, but in my case it manifests itself in publishing posts about thugs and nitwits in positions of power over (often) vulnerable persons.
