I did a triple take when I saw this news -- State Farm has sued Jim Hood. Yes, that is correct. Hood has, depending on your point of view, been breathing down the neck of State Farm for improprieties in Katrina claims handling, or abusing the legal system with trumped up investigations to serve as campaign fodder. Hood has investigated State Farm, and he has sued State Farm too. Now State Farm is suing Hood. What's next, will I find out State Farm is suing Dickie Scruggs? No, wait, they're probably enjoying watching his criminal prosecution too much to worry about that. Maybe Scruggs will sue Hood for failure to protect his "confidential informant." Maybe Hood will hire some outside counsel who are also big campaign contributors and direct them, on behalf of Hood
