How is she "third string"?

Only a third-stringer would become the first woman to preside over the Dallas bar, the Texas bar, one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in Texas and, as Chief Counsel to the President, oversee and direct the White House legal department while serving as the President's chief legal advisor.

What a loser!

How is she "third string"?

Fair question. Here's a few reasons:

Not a good law school (second-string, maybe-third, SMU)
Not a Law Review member even there (the *thinking* students edit the Law Review)
Went to a second-class firm in a second-class city
Did not litigate any significant case as lead!!!!

This doesn't mean she's a bad person or a bad lawyer, it just means she's thoroughly mediocre.

As far as the Bar Association is, being a wheel in the TBA is like being a wheel in the teachers' union -- because that's all a Bar is, a lawyers' union, and the committees and what not attract the hacks and those who seek to make connexions and advance themselved by cronyism. Which is a pretty effective way to get ahead with this President. Unfortunately.

Even in the White House, she didn't lead on those cases she worked on (i.e. Bush v. Gore.)

This is what many of us supported Bush for, and he give us his worst. Appointment. Ever.

Worse than Julie Myers at ICE (cause you know this Administration is feeble on border enforcement, even if they don't put a twentysomething bimbo in charge of messing it up).

Worse than Brownie and the hackerama at FEMA (they handled four 'canes in Florida fine last year, they were just not ready for a situation with a 90-IQ mayor and a governor who collapsed into blubbering inutility when the people looked for leadership).

Good God, this person was not the best woman (by any means) for the job, she wasn't even in the top 20.

d.o.l.
