Elizabeth Warren Is Making Finding The Fire Easy

Either this is one big smear job or she's some piece of work.

Recall Warren (shrewdly) made dough off foreclosed homes, claimed to be the "first nursing working mother to take a bar exam in New Jersey" (in the 70s I might add), and further claims to be part Cherokee of which she never benefited from AA.

Whew.

That's a lotta baggage.

There's more?

"...Warren worked with the company on a case where it was seeking protection against future claims, but part of the agreement reached in the case would have unlocked a $500 million settlement fund for asbestos victims..."

Elizabeth is a bankruptcy expert and has fought for years for a strong bankruptcy system that makes sure retirees, employees, victims, and others can demand payment from insolvent companies and get a fair shake,” Warren spokeswoman Alethea Harney said in the statement. “In the LTV steel case, there was never any question that coal miners and their surviving spouses would receive their full benefits under the Coal Act. This case involved bankruptcy principles and who would pay what into the fund.”

Nevertheless, Warren’s campaign has centered on her career of fighting for the so-called “little guy”– and so her representation of these corporations could appear to be, at least on the surface, at odds with that message. The challenge for Warren for the next six weeks will be to make sure that voters learn about the details of the cases.

Perception is king.

Still more?

Wow. I'm glad that's over now...

More?

Practicing without a license too?

"Look. We all need to calm down and take a deep breath.
This is Massachusetts, and it is not like she let a campaign worker drown in her car or wake up younger relatives or students to possibly date rape someone.
She merely failed to get a law license and a business license and attribute a Native American recipe to the New York Times and properly check whether she was 1/32nd Native American.
And there is no proof that she has committed academic plagiarism, copyright infringement, failed to pay business license/occupational license taxes, or failed, say, to report imputed income under the Applicable Federal Rate.
All we really know is that her opponent may have been an underwear model and she likes to talk about “whipping out her tits” while taking the New Jersey Bar Exam. OK? So, you see, there are libertines on both sides of the campaign. [And I freely admit that I would have scratched my balls during the Georgia Bar Exam had I known that such conduct was allowed. But, alas, we did not have the internet back then.].
And, she needs to be given credit for spawning Occupy Wall Street, so that a bunch of former college students who cannot or will not find work can do something with their time other than brood over the fact that they are drowning in student debt (that is very, very difficult to discharge in bankruptcy), so that Native Americans like her, who do understand the Bankruptcy Code can get paid by insurance companies to tie off asbestos claims and get paid $350,000 a year to teach one class at Harvard Law School. She needed the Wampum! Is that so wrong?"
