I'm a bit strange... Will I turn like him when I'm 30?

12:21 - Do you live at home with your mom and receive bulk shipments of porn?

If so, then yes.

Boy is this going to be awkward when he meets his court-appointed counsel...

I don't get it, how could Barta not have a girl, all CX debaters get laid, often. I think the "HS source" is lying.

Barta, clearly an ex-LD debater.

Heaven forbid that the pristine name of some debate team be sullied! Sounds like we might have a nerdy former colleague whose possible similarity in certain respects to the accused might have roused a bit of defensiveness. I could be wrong, but methinks the nerd doth protest too much. . .

Good use of the Fark.com Boobies graphic.

I went to a top 20 law school, had multiple criminal defense internships, and a serious desire to forego a high salary for the good of the public. Long story short, Legal Aid kept "losing" my application, which I had to send 3 times (despite receiving signed certified mail return receipts). Then after flying myself up for an interview, they never got back to me with an answer EITHER WAY. My point? Legal Aid is retarded.

Interesting that his friendster profile conveniently hides his bad attributes (thanks to the low light!)

12:58 - We got your application. It was awful. We all laughed at it and then threw it in the garbage. Thank you for your interest

HS debaters do not get laid (LD or CX), except by other nerdy debaters, which does not count.

This may be the only place where "debater" and "laid" occur in the same sentence.

I really hate to be the first to turn a sad story like this into something political, but two questions come to mind here:

1- Why is it so unsurprising that the perv somehow happened to be a leftist member of Legal Aid who lives with his mother at the age of 32?

2- If the perv had been a member of the Federalist Society (let's suspend disbelief for the sake of argument) rather than Legal Aid, does anyone doubt that liberals would be all over this story and cite it to make unfounded generalizations about conservative lawyers and the Republican Party?

Lat, remember what happened to the last guy on whose picture you wrote sexual thoughts? If Barta commits suicide, you're going to start feeling bad.

Today's topic, who gets laid more-- LD or CX debaters? Debate.

(Hint, its a trick question).

1:50 - That's hysterical.

1:50: I don't know if Lat would feel bad (or should feel bad).

1. This Barta guy is clearly not in the best mental health.

2. This story has been written about in the NYT, NYP, and NYDN (all of which have much larger readerships than ATL).

Why should Lat get the blame if (God forbid) Barta harms himself?

@ Fed Soc:

1) because you're an ideological bigot who seeks to confirm your every prejudice about "liberals" as you imagine them

2) if they did, would that make it okay for you to do the same?

"Please point out to your readers that Peter Barta was a POLICY debater. Those of us who did L-D [Lincoln-Douglas] debate do NOT want the good name of our event tarnished."

I'm glad you posted this clarification, because the FIRST thing I thought when I saw this story was, "That guy must have been a Lincoln-Douglas debater. They're all like that."

Please. Some random sleazy guy got caught peeping at his colleagues. We should care...why? And on top of that, why is everyone in a rush to brand him with the curious attribute "nerdy?" How is that relevant at all?

For people who can never seem to do enough posturing and lip service when it comes to decrying stereotypes based on race, sex, or other criteria relevant to identity politics, this sure seems hypocritical. Shocking.

Anyone else think he looks like Rob Corddury from the Daily Show?

2:21:

1) The MSM called him "nerdy." If it has appeared in a dead-tree publication, it MUST be true.

2) This story is right up the alley of ATL as a "legal tabloid." If you don't like the sleaze, go visit a more high-minded site.

Why was any naughty stuff going on in those offices for the camera catch?

this is so pathetic. i feel extra-sorry for this schmuck. what a MAMMOTH loser.

A place like Legal Aid must be chock full of lezbos. Maybe he was trying to capture some hot girl-on-girl scissor action.

1:33, you're HIL-A-RIOUS! Turns out though, you just work for an inept organization that needs the Innocence Project to fix its messes. If you even work for them....

Again with the "bare breasts and buttocks"---are you telling me that female legal aid lawyers get buck naked in their offices before trial and are thereafter going commando to court on a regular basis??? Or do they put on special underwear for litigation?

I lived in budapest for a while, and indeed, fluent hungarian is the ultimate afrodiziak! Thank you for making your readership aware!

Let me get this straight. Someone is bragging about membership in the Federalist Cult?

I remember when they were starting up. The ones at my school all looked like Nazis. Cute blonde male bimbos. Not very masculine. Doable but the minute they opened their pretentious mouths you'd have to kick them out of bed.

I'd take pretentious over vapid and shallow any day.

I blame a glut of lawyers which forces these guys to live at home and they never get a chance at having a girlfriend. Also, Because their salaries are so low they can never get their own place.

The financial inequality in this country even for lawyers is a sad state of affairs.

i'm envisioning the kind of surreptitious camera-in-clock akin to the giant cowboy hat wore to the kwik-e-mart.

Barta: Don't be alarmed, counselor. Just go about your daily routine like there's no giant clock in your office.
Female co-worker: Your clock seems to be emitting a buzzing noise, sir. Perhaps you have a bee in your clock?
Barta: Bee? Aah!
