nothing they do could possibly help anyone but themselves

That is a bit of an overstatement. Didn't you even read the summary? This suit will very likely benefit society as a whole; this is a REPUBLICAN candidate they are suing.

I like to imagine it's someone called Baron Righthaven - at least with such an evil sounding charicature I can try and maintain my naive childhood view of good and evil in the world (and hope that a hero in shining armour will get around to slaying him when he's done rescuing princesses and such).
