Yeah, shocked the hell out of me, too, but it is a repeated experience. The Dubliner's I've met practicing over here have seemed pretty decent sorts.
Haven't noticed much assholishness with DCers, but in corp I've dealt mostly with regulatory compliance/public contracting types, who tend not to have the raging egos/inadequacies that fuel assholishness. Lit/lobbying/gov't ee types might be different.
A couple people mentioned US assholes in Asia - I've only dealt with one, who was pretty nice though with just one guy I can't really have an opinion, but the Asian lawyers in Asia I've dealt with have all exhibited exemplary behavior and, with a couple notable exceptions, an impressive lack of flexibility or imagination. I understand I am far from lonely in this observation.
