(2,550 posts)Describing him as a used car salesman, which has a dis-honest/negative frame around it, rubs me the wrong way, Peak.

It seems to me that the only way, in our media driven beliefs, to become a much seen spokesperson for
the working class/non-elites, on nationally broadcast TV, is to be somewhat of a 'huckster/showman/opportunist'.
Would he have the same 'powers' if he were sitting in a cubicle somewhere doing daily drudgery cases?
Would you agree?
Or, are you of the opinion that all lawyers are 'shady'?
Would you not jump at an opportunity to have your message known to the world?
