CA: dissatisfied citizen

A scurrilous, sometimes entertaining rant from a public defender client:

On the wall in the waiting room of the public defender's office there's a wooden plaque. It has a slot in which to slip the photograph and name of the month's "best public defender". The heavily lacquered wood is impressive and shiny with polish. And the slot is empty. In fact I can't remember it ever being filled...

He characterizes the p.d.s whom he goes through as:

twerp - not exactly winners - blotchy - a very cross boy scout - a martinet - a living synthesis of reverence and rebellion, rage and order - Joe Cocktails - jackass - absolutely no pretense to humanity - pinprick - erstwhile *ssh*le

Colorful sure, possibly true here and there. I suspect that there's quite a bit of spin going on here, and surely another side to the story, but any homeless guy who can quote G.K. Chesterton can't be all wrong.
