Elizabeth Warren: Undocumented Lawyer ('My Cousin Lizzy')

Don't know if it was mentioned during last night's debate.

[Happy Rain]

Lizzy Warren or in Injun "She Who Wears Knee Pads For Great Half White Father," is 1/32 lawyer...her Cherokee great great great great grandmother married a rodent.

Remember the press got all over "Joe the Plumber" because he didn't have a plumber's license? Actually, he worked for a licensed plumber and was acting as an apprentice, all perfectly legal.

They hold Princess Liawatha to an entirely different standard.

[SampleMan]

But it’s ok, be use her great, great grandfather had the uppity indignation of a Harvard lawyer, and how can anyone challenge that?

[ClearCase_guy]

The debate went into a fair amount of detail about the extensive legal work that Warren has performed.

Her lack of a license to practice law in MA? Too boring to mention. It just didn’t come up, man.

My Cousin Vinny, perhaps the funniest movie ever made.

[Neidermeyer]

Doctor? , Lawyer?, Indian Chief??

[Vaquero]

it all fits...

Warren is one of them thar ‘Utes’

[Ann Archy]

ILLEGAL to practice law when you don’t have a LICENSE!!

[ClearCase_guy]

Why didn’t Scott Brown mention it? I found it very strange. As far as I know, it is an established fact that she has no license, and that she does practice law. And her opponent won’t talk about it during a debate. Weird.

Why the hell are you people getting into a lather and having heart failure about her not having a license to practice law in Mass? You sound racist and anti-woman !! Afterall, she went to Harvard and has a (D) after her name, so she is exempt from all laws and criticism. A federal judge should step in today, cancel the election and proclaim her the winner. If you want to talk about someone doing illegal $hit, go to a real story of corruption dealing with practicing law without a license.....I just saw in an Oklahoma newspaper where an elderly grandmother told a judge that she "was guilty of parking in a loading zone".

That is a sure case of practicing illegal law. She should have had a $300 per hour lawyer saying she was guilty for her. How dare she try to take a living wage from some underprivilged lawyer trying to pay off a couple of hundred thousand dollars of Ivy League student loans.

The criminal grandmother should have gotten 1 to 10 for fraud !!

The issue is out there and ammo nth until the election.

A man has to be careful how much direct attacking he does with a woman candidate. He may let surrogates or friendly media do it for him.

[ClearCase_guy]

Ahhhhhhhh. Friendly media. Riiiiight. I’ll wait for them to show up.

“Pozzi-twacshun!”

"Joe ****ing Pesci," the Prof said in his the–subject–is–closed voice. "The best actor on this planet, bar none. He gets the call, he does it all. Man's so slick he could play a goddamned telephone booth and mother****ers be putting quarters in his mouth."

“My Cousin Vinny, perhaps the funniest movie ever made.”

I’m not a big fan of profanity but I’ve seen the original version and the T.V. version, which was censored and the profane version was funnier. I suppose profane language has its place. A very funny movie indeed.

Joe Pesci is a funny guy and Fred Gwynn as the judge was perfect casting.

[LyinLibs]

How ironic that Elizabeth Warren, the ultimate Communist, ran afoul of the regulatory maze she seeks to expand.

Even my goldfish knows you can’t practice law without a license.

Reminds me of practicing President with a stolen Social Security number.

I too was surprised that Brown failed to bring it up, but then I realized he was very smart. This story has legs...it’s growing..and I suspect Brown is saving it for the next debates(s)...also, Hiawatha probably expected him to bring it up, she was waiting for it/expecting it....so it helped throw her off stride.

In Massachusetts, you have to have a license in order to drop a worm into the water. If Paleface Lizzy didn’t need a license, then that makes her lower than a worm.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Pssstt: she never went to Haavaad, until she got a job there. She was hired as visiting lecturer and when they saw what a swell job she was doing of being a dotriacontaroon that they took her on full-time.
