Law's for the full of shit. Finance for the even more full of shit. But only politics has that amazing mix of the lazy, dumb-as-fuck, and so full of shit they truly cannot tell bullshit from non-bullshit anymore.
It seems mean to hate political sorts. They're too much a special ed crowd.

I knew plenty of intelligent, very hardworking, and thoughtful people in politics. Really. More than I've seen in law. Those were the Dukakis years here, and he set the tone, and there are plenty of people from that era for whom I developed deep respect.
Not to say there weren't some in politics with a unique combination of moral rot deep into their soul and an equally deep-set aversion to any work more onerous than lifting a glass. But that wasn't my set.
