A tale of two law degrees: one went to a corporate law firm the other
to the South Side of Chicago, as a community organizer.

One failed the BAR exam in DC, the other became the first AA President of the Harvard Law Review.

One sat on the board of Warmart on her hands while her cronies busted unions, one helped disenfranchised people to vote.

One used their brilliant oratory skills to support George Bush's march to war, one stoop up with the protesters in defiance.

2. You said it in a nutshell. Now duck! Maybe the bit about the DC
Bar Exam was a little much but the rest, especially Walmart, was right on as far as I'm concerned.

3. Except that shades the truth
Hillary went to the CDF and to a Watergate Committee before going to Rose. And the bar exam failure is a cheap shot- lots and lots of people fail it the first time around.

The truth isn't this simple good/bad narrative that too many people here are buying into.

4. Clinton went to the Children's Defense Fund
out of law school. But don't let the facts get in the way of making shit up.
