Lawyerly Lairs: A Report from D.C.
Lawyers are living large, not just in Miami and New York, but in Washington, too.
The Luxury Homes column, in the current issue of Washingtonian magazine, features the recent real estate purchases of two prominent lawyers. First up: political and legal commentator Laura Ingraham, who has a pretty amazing resume (UVA Law, Clarence Thomas clerkship, Skadden), especially by radio personality standards:
Conservative pundit and radio host Laura Ingraham sold a three-bedroom, four-bath Colonial rowhouse on 28th Street in Woodley Park for $1.3 million. Built in 1922, the renovated home has an in-law suite, two kitchens, and a skylit master bedroom. The Laura Ingraham Show is broadcast on 340 radio stations nationwide.
Very nice. Next up: another conservative legal celebrity, Fred Fielding:
White House counsel Fred Fielding and his wife, Maria, sold a five-bedroom, six-bath Colonial in Arlington's Country Club Hills for $1.8 million. The house has embassy-size entertaining rooms. Before joining the Bush administration in January, Fielding was a senior partner at Wiley Rein (formerly Wiley Rein & Fielding).
Despite the "embassy-size entertaining rooms," a sub-$2 million house seems a tad underwhelming, especially for a former name partner of 2006's most profitable law firm. Are the Fieldings trading up to bigger digs?
Using a combination of internet resources, we tracked down what we believe to be the houses in question, on Zillow. You can check out the listings, with pics, after the jump.

First?
3:35: How pathetic must be your life that you care about being first?
That Thomas really has a thing for white girls...
Having a million house in the DC metro area isn't a big deal. It is a very pricey real estate market.
3:44: Uh, last time I checked, Anita Hill wasn't white.
But Mrs. Thomas is white.
But Mrs. Thomas is white.

Man is she hot
Great thread. The "First?" post is the most intelligent so far.
I'd hit Ingraham in the caboose and make her ride her bike home.
Somebody went nuts with the airbrush.

What on Earth would make you put a comma after the word "see"? Not only is that a blatant contradiction of the Bluebook, but it defies all common sense.
PLEASE, PEOPLE, STOP THE MADNESS!
No longer hot. Wow, the amazing things Photoshop can do.
She also ditched the lesbo 'do in the pic above. I'd still hit it, though.
WGWAG
for having such an impressive resume she says some incredibly uninformed things on the radio. her opinions aside, she analyzes situations through the context of a microscope.
Does she have a clinical or research claim to her title or is she just using Dr. from her J.D.?
10:50, Dr.? I suspect you're thinking of "Dr. Laura" -- as in Laura Schlessinger.
Please. Laura Ingraham is a dog. And I mean that in every sense of the word. Welcome to the world of professional make-up artists.
You men are so gullible. How is it again that you rule the world? Oh, yea, that's right. Badly.
The woman is just another Coulter wack job. Who cares about her "pedigree" when she harbors the dumbest ideas?
