being a movie star or a professional wrassler seems to help more than biglaw. is your friend good looking?

No, but steroids might be an option for the latter career choice.

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.
Thompson was the former US Attorney in Chicago before becoming Governor of Illinois. He became a partner at Winsotn & Strawn after leaving office.

Ty Fahner was State's Attorney and also in the US Attorney's office. I believe he's at Mayer Brown now.

I suspect this might have something to do with it.

I will update you once I have met her and I will tell you if she's ugly or pretty and what her tits are like. I know some of you don't care, but since so much of what she says (or is) has to do with her looks, I am curious.

That's it.

I think I should chaperone.

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

Oops, I apologise. Although, I am LOL, arse over tit.

That was an option?!? Shit.

And now that the wiretaps are off my phone, I can talk to my dealer freely without having to use code.
