Mary Jo White is now in private practice. I'm not sure if Pres. Bush named a new US attorney for NY, effectively pushing her out, but in any case she's definitely in private practice.

What was so distasteful was the way that Rosie bragged to Katie about how she had specified to her people that she wanted them to find the best "woman" lawyer. Why wouldn't she simply want the "best" lawyer? Could you imagine if a guy had said: "yeah, I told my people to get me the best male lawyer?"

Best woman lawyer? Well, you could start and end with Victoria Toensing, although I doubt she'd take on such a sure loser case.

Beyond that, who? The always-misinformed Lis Weihl? Loser Leslie Abramson? Whiner Gloria Allred? Judge Judy? Law and Order's Diane Weist?

Not all that many high-profile women lawyers out there, are there? And most of those seem to lose more cases than they win.

Heck, I suspect Janet Reno's looking for a job these days.

"...she wanted them to find the best "woman" lawyer."

By her comment, it's clear she was attempting to reiterate her "sexual orientation/preference".
