• After Eric Easley was charged with animal cruelty for allegedly sexually assaulting a miniature horse, he went out and got the best attorney in the business to represent him – or at least the best attorney who know how to handle messy cases involving sexual mistreatment of an animal: “Cowboy” Bob Clark. Here’s what Cowboy Bob had to say on Tuesday regarding the case, riffing on the old “You can indict a ham sandwich” adage in his own unique cowboy way: “”You can accuse a bishop in Boston of bastardy, but that don’t mean he did anything. You can get a ham sandwich and indict it, but that don’t mean the ham sandwich was guilty of anything, except being a bad ham sandwich.” Very true, but did the ham sandwich bang a horse? That’s the question. [MSNBC]
