An Alternative Career Path for Top Law School Graduates
Forget about Biglaw, kids. If you want to make some serious dough, there are better ways. And we're not talking about i-banking, hedge funds, and venture capital.
If you want to make not just hundreds of thousands, but many millions, follow this easy, five-point plan:
1. Become governor of a small Southern state.
2. Become President of the United States.
3. Get fellated by an attractive young intern; get impeached.
4. Leave office.
5. Hit the lecture circuit; rake in $9 to $10 million a year in speaking fees.
Sure, step #3 isn't essential to the plan. But why would you want to skip it?
Update: If you, like this commenter, miss having Bill Clinton as president, we have a suggestion for you: VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!
Senator Hillary Clinton is proud of her husband's record while in office. And unlike Al Gore, she is embracing rather than distancing herself from that record -- which strikes us as a shrewd move.

wish he could serve in office again. bummer
wait, "attractive" young intern? c'mon. maybe for DC.
Lewinsky really is hideous.
I wish he could serve as president again, too. I also wish someone would take a hammer to my groin.
why would you want him in office again?
Calling Lewinsky "attractive" destroys the credibility of this blog.
Lewinsky's hideousness and trashiness, and the crude things he did with her, is what really disgusts me about Clinton. What a vile piece of white trash garbage.
Lat--you clearly had nothing else to post today. Poor form.
If Hillary wins the presidency, who will be her Monica Lewinsky? Rosie O'Donnell?
"Crude things"? Bill and Monica did things that most married couples do behind closed doors (with the possible exception of the cigar business).
So, if H.C. becomes president, does that mean that she gets to "not have sex" with an intern too?
Well, since L2L never made it into a top law school to be a top law school grad, this career path, like BigLaw, will forever be out of reach.
If HRC becomes president, she deserves as much play as she can get from hot guy interns.
Jesus Christ, Lat, don't opine on politics. I mean, Hillary shouldn't distance herself from her husband? Really? Do you think Biden's comments about Obama hurt his campaign?
Believe it or not, even if you spent 20 hours a day at Wachtell, there are some things you don't know.
Something that surprised me: This blog has an "Oral Sex / Blow Jobs" tag.
Something that didn't surprise me: I clicked to see what was in the archive.
Terry: HRC DID distance herself from her husband - for the past six years. Everyone here in DC has noticed how they've maintained an arm's length relationship during her time as a senator. It has allowed her to develop and to come into her own as a politician.
One of their SOPs is never to overlap at parties. At one Georgetown party I attended, she arrived and then left, about an hour before he arrived. This allowed her to have the limelight all to herself.
Healy did a whole NYT piece on how little time they've spent together. But that was before she announced for '08.
Now that she's announced, HRC is playing up her time in the White House and her relationship with WJC. Keeping WJC at a distance no longer makes sense.
4:18 PM: Hillary's political career was launched by distancing herself from her husband. From Bill Kristol's Weekly Standard column:
"Hillary Clinton's popularity soared after the Monica affair, when she achieved a kind of political separation from her husband. That's what made her Senate race possible, and her current presidential candidacy plausible."
Hillary Clinton is trying to "have her cake and eat it too" re: Bill. She wants to take credit for all the positive aspects of his legacy, but she'll go nuclear on you if you hint at the negative:

People seem to forget how hard his fight for the governorship of Arkansas was.
