Wrong!! Double cross your fingers and spit wrong! This has nothing to do with the legal world. It is politics. He is acting as a politician. An American politician, so he can say anything at any time even if he is right.

Another exam Teddy didn't pass: Spanish 101. He sent a buddy in to take it for him.

The pass rates for ABA approved law schools are usually broke out in bar exam statistics - and for an elite law school like Michigan - I would think the bar pass rate averages about 95%.

That's not necessarily true. Many of the so-called elite schools have first-time bar passage rates that are lower, sometimes significantly lower than the lesser known regional schools. That's because many of the "elite" schools focus on national and international legal issues and principles that have little direct relevance outside of academia, judicial clerkships, and political or philosophical debate. The lesser known regional schools often have a more practical approach that is geared to teaching students not only what they need to know to practice as a lawyer, but to pass the bar exam in the state where the school is located

Actually, 96% for the Michigan bar and 99% for the Illinois bar.

Correct. The school packaged a statistic for marketing purposes. We can't tell from the information provided what the first time bar passage rate is for all University of Michigan grads.

I just looked him up and it seems he is a Congressman now looking for a senators job. So he obviously has been sucking on the government tit for a while.

I looked up his picture and he looks awful white errrrr light.

Gee, you'd think there'd be a law concerning non-lawyers representing themselves as lawyers...

Shouldn't the Tennessee Bar Association be interested in this?
Or wouldn't they, if most weren't Dimocrats?

There's no proof that I know of that Foley liked 'little boys.'

There is proof enough in that he has not denied it and resigned because of it.

He's not a pedophile. He likes young, nubile teens, perhaps but not little boys.

Young boys are boys as they are not yet men. You can refrain from calling them boys all you'd like but that doesn't change the fact that they are boys. And compared to many if not most adult men, they are little.

There's another name for men who enjoy older boys. It's not pedophile but it's similar. He's a pervert, no matter what he 'likes' or prefers but a pedophile really likes them very, very young--newborns, toddlers, etc.

I never said he was a pedophile. I said he liked young boys. And it's apparent from his bahavior that he does.

He claims never to have sex with a minor but who knows these days. Politicians lie like hell.

He may have never had sex with a minor but he's apparently had sex with an adult.

So what it comes down to is he's a pervert. But then, all homosexuals are perverts.

The left must be going mad on this one. You know they'd like to condemn his homo activity with a former page but as regular defenders of homosexuality they have to keep quite on that one and hope they can prove he's been with a minor.

liberalsim is a disease.

It sure is. I have many acquaintances who are liberals--when you work at a university you meet many of them. I like them but the mindset... it's best never to discuss politics with them but I did have a great BUSH door with all kinds of lovely pictures of him, etc. It used to kill them to walk by it. Hee hee. I got my innings in.
