Overheard On The 'Net - 4

At Hot Air.

How have we come to the point where far too many see law school as a qualifying factor?

It has always amazed me that so many people think of lawyers as “smart.”

I worked for many years with engineers — brillant people who sometimes don’t speak with perfect eloquence. But now I spend more time with lawyers — who are all able to communicate beautifully, but usually can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag.

As politicians often say (in private):“There are only two things that matter in the world: perception and reality. And reality doesn’t matter.”

I really like that. Don't get me wrong. Lawyers are some of my best friends. But on this one I'm siding with the engineers.
