Get me some new interns.

Vernon Jordan has died. He was 85.
Jordan was a partner and an institution at the law firm where I worked. He had an office on the same floor I did. I never really got to know Jordan, but did have the opportunity to observe him.
Jordan didn’t just care about young people. My observation was that he cared about everyone he worked with.
When working long hours, I would set myself up in a conference room near the elevators on our floor. If Jordan popped by the office at night or on weekends and saw me on a regular basis, he would come into the conference room, ask how I was doing, and encourage me to finish up and go home to my family. If he passed me in the hallway and saw that I was stressed, he would notice and say a kind word or two.
At the firm, I benefitted from Jordan’s legendary ability to bring in business, some of which I worked on. Of course, I appreciated that. But I appreciated his kind words more.
The last time I saw Jordan was in December 2017. It was at a restaurant where I was celebrating the holidays with a few friends. One of them was about to leave the firm and take a high-level position in the Trump Justice Department.
Jordan entered the restaurant with his wife and another couple. He spotted us and walked across the room to congratulate my friend and wish him well. Class.
The last time I saw Jordan on television was in a recent PBS special. At one point in the documentary, Jordan said that whatever he had achieved in life, he accomplished through perseverance and hard work.

Nice words about a guy who worked so hard to subvert this country.
How kind of the author.
Yes yes. He was one of my favorite corrupt hack deep staters. So sad that he’s passed
I say again: Nothing.
It's what my ol' Grandmaw taught me.
Clinton infused D.C. swamp lawyer.
That is the kind they adore now. It is the Rush Limbaugh and Ronald Reagan types they hate. We are old, FRiend.
Que the video of Clinton and Jordan laughing and walking out of a funeral when Clinton notices the cameras and immediately invokes a sad face and wipes a tear from his eye.
"Chosen by Bill Clinton" is truly a fitting epigram for his Democrat reliquary. It really says it all..
Get me some new interns.
Jordan was Clinton’s “fixer” for gumbo eruptions.
Is the author suggesting there was more to this jackass than that?
Wasn’t he the one who got shot in the rump by the husband of a woman he was “seeing”, giving her career advice, of course. As I remember, he was naked and running away from the room when he took the hit.
Wasn’t it Jordan who gave Monica Lewinski a six-figure job at his law firm, to shut her up?
Of course after Clinton was out of the WH, she was suddenly not needed in Jordan’s law firm...

You win the prize for describing what he was most famous for. Perhaps you are wrong though, maybe he did it because he liked young people.
You mean etouffee eruptions?
Paging Al Haig...
Yes, indeed he DID care FOR young children— sought them out, you might say.
What a pablum soft soap post on a vicious Labor Fixer from all the way back before Teddy Kennedy— Mr. 60’s. Perfect hiding place for “liking little boys”.
Specialty was Labor union fixing— through the Urban League, politicizing the thugs for the demonrat co-opted leadership.
But— that is not the only things he fixed. From the Starr Report on Bill Clinton/Hillary Clinton(adjunct grifter) and their “staff”:
Feb. 19, 1998: Ken Starr’s chronology shows presidential friend Vernon Jordan began seeking a private-sector job for Monica Lewinsky within 72 hours of her being listed as a potential witness in the Paula Jones civil rights lawsuit against President Bill Clinton.
Feb. 20, 1998: Lewinsky attorney Bill Ginsburg says the former intern met with Vernon Jordan much earlier than was being reported.
Don’t forget it was DOD sec/then see eye ehh moron Leon Panetta who “scored” Lewinsky for billy cokenose clinton:
After her several “appointments” in and around clinton, and after the Linda Tripp/Lewinsky tapes were played for Michael Isikoff (yes- the same newsweek c-i-a paid asset that setup the Trump “dossier” news release for GPS Fusion/
December 1997: Lewinsky leaves the Pentagon.
Dec. 8: Betty Currie, Clinton’s personal secretary, asks presidential pal
Vernon Jordan to help Lewinsky find a job in New York.
Dec. 11: Lewinsky meets with Jordan and he refers her to several job leads.
1998:
Jan. 12: Linda Tripp contacts the office of Whitewater Independent Counsel Ken Starr to talk about Lewinsky and the tapes she made of their conversations. The tapes allegedly have Lewinsky detailing an affair with Clinton and indicate that Clinton and Clinton friend Vernon Jordan told
Lewinsky to lie about the alleged affair under oath.
These are disbarring legal offenses, btw. Ole Vernon and Billy cokenose-— happened to billy boy finally but never ole Vernon.
And all of the bourgeois black elite showed up to cover for billy cokenose and hitlery-— at the John Lewis funeral. Utter bullcrap from the Martha’s Vineyard civil rights grifters country club (including obamaumao, and of course Vernon Jordan)
A Labor Fixer first and foremost, and kept on the “boards” of “prestigious” demonrat elite corporates for great window dressing. Fixing it by maintaining the kickback union funds to dnc and candidates.
The connex to Virgin Islands are interesting (where the corrupt Virgin Island’s territorial govt. enabled Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell to own/run a private paedophile brother (all complexions, black street urchins from St. Thomas).
