I hate lima beans. I’ve never liked lima beans. But if I was hired to represent the United Vegetable Growers would you ask me if I liked lima beans? No. If I disliked lima beans? No. Because my job is to represent those vegetables and fruits" (Ross) - I never said I'd represent those fruits. ( Me ) Thank you sir. (Me) – Ross said “Ross responded, “Let me give you an analogy.

I have some very good friends who are "lima beans". I've never liked lima beans either, but then again, I don't eat "lima beans". Okay, well, I’m not sure how to respond to that one.

After watching the Youtube with the provocative statement a couple of times, I agree. He's obviously got weight problems, huffing & puffing, slow to talk. Loss of oxygen would make it more difficult for him to argue his cases, or think quickly (staying at the top of his game). I had another thought. If WAR is a 'successful' attorney, wouldn't he make more money, than that of an AG? Consider the other offices he has tried to pursue, even though barely qualified, he keeps TRYING to get a Govt job. HOWEVER, once he might be placed in office as a Govt employee, wouldn't that provide him with Medical Insurance? WithOUT pre-existing conditions potentially excluding him? Even if he didn't last very long in the position, it would also set him up for another 29months of COBRA Medical Insurance. Worth perhaps thousands of dollars these days. Medicare doesn't pay top dollar to doctors, like Govt Medical Insurance on the job. I wonder if that might be a factor playing into this process?
