The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

fen-phen litigation,

I'm assuming he was one of the "white hats" from link's contents and the fact you bothered posting....
..."idol" or "hero" of sorts was he ?

I spent time in his library. He was the patron saint of ambulance chasers.
In 1998 he was part of the legal team that negotiated a $15.3 billion settlement with cigarette makers on behalf of Texas. Then he tried to block an investigation into how he got that cushy deal from the state.
Note the number. He won $1.5Bn (THATS BILLION WITH A B OMG!!!) in fees.
I really like this part:
He balanced out years of beating up on doctors in the courtroom by giving $25 million to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital on the condition that it name its building after him. More than 100 doctors (many of whom had lost suits over silicone implants) signed a petition denouncing O'Quinn and calling for the hospital to reject his gift.
