Mazeltov, RP. Did you just sell the cats?

Is this a double entendre?

I go to a meeting, then a spin class, and when I come back, the board has become some sort of psychotic bra-burning feminazi pep rally. Even I feel like a neanderthal, and the last article of clothing I bought was a pair of pink Michael Kors pants.

Speaking of Kors, do you think Alison's greater sin was that she could not make the fat model look thin, or that she is cuter than the judges?

In a futile attempt to try to get some work done today, I've been doing Lexis searches, and trying to figure out why I didn't get any hits on one search combination.

As it turns out, I spelled one of my search terms "offence."

Please stop that shit. You're destroying what little productivity I've been able to muster lately.

Yep. He was a prosecutor.

ETA: Whiff, because you obviously knew that.

I would think he would need to work for at least a year or so before going into office.

I think Wanker referenced a former governor of VA who went to a BIGVA firm after he was governor, and ncs has discussed Ron Kirk, and I think Kay Bailey Hutchison's husband was a politician for a long time (how they met) and then went to BIGTEX, but I don't know whether he was at a firm before he went into politics or was at one at all while in politics.

ETA I think you steered him right, but wtf do I know? Unless he is part of a famous political family, it's kind of a stretch to assume that he will be successful and influential enough in politics to get a job at a prominent firm.

Spoiler space would be nice, bitch. I was busy having sex at 10pm last night and had to tivo my new favorite show. And now you're telling me that my favorite girl got voted off? Damn.you.Flower.

Well, he's not going to run for office in the last three years before partnership, right?

But you know as well as anyone that associates can slack off and do anything for a couple of years at a law firm if they don't really care about partnership. That seems like a feasible approach. Work hard for two years, coast for three years while hobnobing with the relevant party.

(I'm told on good information that Alex Kozinski got his judgeship pretty much that way; Covington and Burling wasn't particularly impressed with his billables his last couple of years, but they knew better than to bitch to the Reagan white house.)

Maybe the better answer is that it's not common, and em should think hard about how the BIGLAW career is supposed to set up the political career.

Not to be a pedant or anything, but I recently read somewhere that this business of emphasizing words with additional periods is all. played. out.

N.B. -- Even more played out is stringing a bunch of the periods together, I hear.

You can do anything with a law degree!

I've been thinking about wiping my ass with mine.

I don't really care about ththis but I enjoyed this sentence:

• "Dick Pound piling on makes it impossible for us to get a fair hearing unless it is open to the public."

For that purpose, I'd rather have $110,000 in one-dollar bills.

I was talking about the pre-mayoral run when he was at White & Case.
