"This is a point brought home to me by an amusing item a friend forwarded this week, comparing Democrat to Republican party in the United States. The Democrat leadership is all lawyers, and has been for some time. Barack Obama, lawyer; Michelle Obama, lawyer; Hillary Clinton, lawyer; Bill Clinton, lawyer; Bill Reid, lawyer; Nancy Pelosi, lawyer; and so forth. All Democrat presidential candidates since 1984, lawyers -- except Al Gore, who somehow failed to graduate from law school."

Interesting point...

Bill Reid?
 
Well, they are the party of the people and all. You can tell by how diverse their representation is...

Oh noooeeess... actual citizen representation!

Palin went to the University of Idaho. I know what you were trying to represent, but come on, Topper. She got the education you press onto others.

She graduated from the University of Idaho in 1987, she went to six different colleges as, like many other citizens of this nation, she had problems with funding.

Again, she actually went out fought for and got the education you press onto others and now disparage because of party. Weak, and not a little bit sexist.

Seems to me that there are plenty of members of the Republican leadership that are lawyers. In fact, I think they all are with the exception of Boehner. McConnell, Kyl, Alexander, Cantor, Steele - all lawyers.

I think Congress is over 90% lawyers.

Never said there weren't lawyers on the Rep side... but the ENTIRE leadership of the Dems are of ONE profession.

Compare, if you will, the Republican leadership over the last while, in White House and Congress. The last Republican lawyer to make president was Gerald Ford. Instead: movie actor, spy chief, businessman, successively. Last election: an old soldier, and a PTA lady. Look back at the leaders of the so-called "Republican revolution" in Congress: Newt Gingrich, history professor; Tom Delay, pest exterminator; Dick Armey, economist; Bill Frist, heart surgeon. (And note what the Democrat lawyers did to get rid of them.)

Except that the "ENTIRE" leadership of the Democrats is not of "ONE" profession, at least not under the standard definition of "leadership."

The actual leadership (First Lady, Secretary of State and former President are not "leadership") of both parties consists of the same number of non-lawyers. If you look at the Senate and House leadership and chairs of the RNC and DNC, you have two non-lawyers, Republican John Boehner and Democrat James Clyburn. All the rest are lawyers.
