Rampant Hypocrisy
Ya just gotta love former Supreme Court Justice Ed Peterson’s lament from the May issue entitled "We’re Not There Yet." (Letters, May 2006.) I mean, how can you not?
Here we have one of the seismic instigators of the "diversity" tsunami that, if nothing else (and I wonder about that "if"), certainly generated beaucoup CLE fees for the bar in recent years. And, naturally, the first (if not the only) thing he notices about a graphic would, of course, be a character’s race. How perfect.
While to most (if not all) readers the comic circumstance epitomizes the rampant hypocrisy so prevalent in liberal agendas, for all of the 12,000-plus bar members it certainly confirms with stark reality that lawyers will instinctively be themselves — regardless of how many hours of politically-motivated nonsense they must log every three years.

Your Letter Goes Here
The Bulletin welcomes letters to the editor. Here are some tips on getting your letter into print.
Letters must be addressed directly to the editor; no reprints of letters addressed to other publications, to other individuals, to whom it may concern, etc., will be considered for publication.
Preference will be given to letters in response to either letters to the editor, articles or columns recently published in the Bulletin.
Letters must be signed. No unsigned or anonymous letters will be printed.
Letters may not promote individual products, services or political candidates. All letters in the Bulletin and For the Record must also comply with the guidelines of Keller v. State Bar of California in that they must be germane to the purpose of regulating the legal profession or improving the quality of the legal services available to the people of Oregon.
Letters to the editor may be edited for grammatical errors, style or length, or in cases where language or information is deemed unsuitable or inappropriate for publication. Profane or obscene language will not be accepted.
The Bulletin strives to print as many letters as possible. Therefore, brevity is important, and preference will be given to letters that are 250 words or less. The editor reserves the right to select or withhold letters for publication, and to edit any and all letters chosen for publication. The authors of rejected letters will be notified in writing by the editor.
Send letters to: Editor, OSB Bulletin, 5200 S.W. Meadows Road, Lake Oswego, Ore. 97035.
