Does anyone know why Neil Boortz really quit practicing law?
Before becoming a soft pudgy right wing attack parrot with a microphone, Boortz was an attorney. He has alluded to the fact that he found the profession to be distasteful. Since every word out of his mouth is a lie, I seriously doubt this explanation. Was there a scandal? Improprieties? Was his license pulled?

thanks,
mitchum

1. I called
on him once when I sold for Dictaphone and he was a two bit lawyer. His office was shambles and his was in a shared suite of other two bit lawyers.

4. Boortz
If I remember correctly, he mainly represented entertainers and the entertainment industry. I think Evander Hollifield was his main source of income.

3. He says he enjoys talk radio more
But I'm wondering the same thing: Was he disbarred? He says he can make a lot more money being a lawyer than a talk show host but then he enjoys talk radio more.

I have noticed that he sometimes slips up on his words without catching his errors. He will say one thing in one sentence and then contradict it in the next sentence. Have you noticed this? This would be a very bad thing if he was representing someone. Perhaps this is the reason.

I also noticed something else about him: If a caller is about to get the best of him, he will become very angry, start screaming, then cut the caller off. He had to be bleeped one time because of his explosive language with one caller who was about to run him into the ground. I just wonder if he was disbarred for blowing up in a court room once upon a time.

Wouldn't this be public information?

6. Welcome to DU!
I don't know his history, but he is idolizes Rush.
He's just another clown that spews the talking points to the heathens.

8. Neil's god is money
Don't believe hin if he say's he could make more money being a lawyer. Holyfield dropped him and he restarted his career at WGST. He used to be on a station called Ring radio and my aunt used to give him shit. He was a very mediocore lawyer.
