The 'Bla Bla Bla' E-Mail Heard Around the World Angry
Would-Be Employer Sends Lawyer's Message Far and Wide
Two weeks ago, newly minted young Boston attorney Dianna Abdala e-mailed a prospective employer, William Korman.
"The pay you are offering would neither fulfill me nor support the lifestyle I am living," she wrote, turning down his job offer.
Korman was not happy.
"You had two interviews, were offered and accepted the job (indeed, you had a definite start date)."
He'd already ordered her stationery and business cards, and set up her office computer and was amazed she conveyed her second thoughts by e-mail.
"It smacks of immaturity and is quite unprofessional," he wrote.
Abdala's response? "A real lawyer would have put the contract into writing and not exercised any such reliance until he did so," she wrote.
"This is a very small legal community," Korman responded. "Do you really want to start pissing off more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your career?"
Abdala finally answered, "Bla bla bla."
An ordinary office spat? Nope. Korman forwarded the exchange to a friend and it spread throughout the Boston legal community -- and then to the Boston Globe, to the International Herald Tribune, to ABC News' "Nightline."
It was the "bla bla bla" heard round the world -- making Abdala the most famous, perhaps notorious, 24-year-old lawyer in America.

Another tragedy caused by the Democrats losing the Whitehouse. Bimbos who would have intern jobs in a Democrat Whitehouse are roaming loose with no where to find a job.
Lawyers on ludes.
Is this The Former Twelfth Lady about 30 years ago?
Sounds like she should be the President of the Bar in her state. She has the ethics of seasoned lawyer.
Perhaps she thinks that she can emulate Paris Hilton and just look pretty to earn a living?
the sad thing is she will be paid to do interviews, get huge publicity, and be hired at a much higher salary somewhere.
For one, he defends the shooting an off-duty police officer... At taxpayer expense, no less.
If you're going to stick up for cop killers, at least use your own money please.
Her future is so bright she'll need sunglasses!

So says Princess Abdala...
Since when is a job supposed to "fulfill" a person?
I work for the money, and get fulfilled on my time off.
I would absolutely refuse to do any business with any law firm that would hire her. When my livelihood uis threatened I don't want to depend upon a trust fund baby who only cares if my check clears.
So do you hate our second president, John Adams? Defending someone of a crime doesn't mean you support the person.
She will probably try to sue him for forwarding the email.
