Kos: What's wrong with trial lawyers?

[Bluebear]

I am really starting to see Obama as someone who will rush to embrace every right-wing talking point against every Democratic constituencies.

In one of his standard riffs, Obama asserts that his career choices -- community organizer, civil rights lawyer, elected official -- underscores his commitment to public service and to bringing about political and social change. He always mentions the lucrative job offers he turned down, but today he added a new line.

"That's why I didn't become a trial lawyer," Obama told the Newton audience -- a clear dig at Edwards, who made millions in the courtroom.

Apparently, trial lawyers can't have a commitment to public service and bringing about political and social change...

I've always found that very amusing. That's one of the Pubs constant derogatory statements..."He's a Trial Lawyer"! BUT....who's the first person the Pubs call when they stick their foot in it?
