Elizabeth Warren: ‘I Was The First Nursing Mother to Take a Bar Exam in The State of New Jersey’

First there were her claims of Cherokee heritage. And now Elizabeth Warren is under fire for once boasting about her status involving…breast feeding.
“I was the first nursing mother to take a bar exam in the state of New Jersey,” Massachusetts senatorial candidate Warren said during a presentation at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2011:
It seems to be that Warren is saying she was the first person in New Jersey to take bar exam while actually nursing at the test site or during the exam. Either way, this claim to fame has people obviously saying: “prove it.”
Her campaign responded:
Elizabeth was making a point about the very serious challenges she faced as a working mom — from taking an all-day bar exam when she was still breast-feeding, to finding work as a lawyer that would accommodate a mom with two small children.
Meanwhile, Winnie Comfort of the New Jersey Judiciary (the group that administers that state’s bar exam) said there’s no way to verify Warren’s claim, the Boston Herald reports.
“Comfort said women have been taking the New Jersey bar exam since 1895, but she’s not aware their nursing habits were ever tracked [emphasis added],” the report adds.
Has Warren been caught boasting of yet another thing that can’t be proved or disproved?
Alana Goodman at Commentary offers some insight:
On it’s face, Warren’s comments seem to be silly but harmless self-congratulation, and that’s how a lot of voters will probably see it. But it does speak to a pattern of exaggerating and stretching biographical details. It’s not just the substance of Warren’s claims that’s troubling, but the habit.
We’ll leave it at that.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 5:37pmThis woman clearly has some serious mental problems. The first problem is her inability to be logical !
For example: Warren claims that the RICH owe everyone their money “because the Rich made their money using the highways/schools that ALL of us paid for”…. Let that settle in your mind for a minute.
OKAY: ELIZABETH: Since SOME of us got RICH using the Highways/Schools that ALL of us paid for…. WHY AREN’T ALL of us rich? What? Really? You mean maybe some of us worked harder than others? Took chances? Studied harder? …. That one statement from her alone shows that she is a hair-brained, immature thinker. THEN all these “Self-Important Statements”…. She’s just a lying nutcase like Nancy Pelosi.
Did you know that low income workers had their HC deductible go from $ 2000 to $ 6000 ? That BLOODY Health Care Con. Several things: Obama has let his Union Buddies OPT OUT but is trying to con the Churches into accepting this (and the rest of us); Pelosi should be glad that the days of tar and feather have passed. She would be carted out of DC on a rail. We simply must get these immature/Awful Anti-American people out of office. Have you ever wondered how “they” could come up with a 2300++ page Health Care Bill in just a couple of months? This “bill” has been in the works for 20 years, written by Soros funded org. We were locked out of any negotiations. This is the biggest Con next to Obama ever foisted on USA.

Just to clarify; You are correct that the HC Bill came from Soros and it was the Soros funded Apollo Group. My main point is that the HC Bill left the House at 2300 pages and went to the Senate. It left the Senate at 2700 pages and went back to the House where they, “Deemed and Passed” it WITHOUT voting on it. I thought that was illegal. 400 pages were added by the Senate and NO VOTE in the House? Then it was signed into Law by the PosOTUS. I am aware that House rules were changed to allow a “Deem and Pass” without voting on the HC Bill but, that in itself should have been illegal. Just a thought….

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 9:55pmRJ: Those of us that have encountered it know it as sociopathy…
Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”
Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Incapacity for Love
Report Post »Inlightofthings
Posted on May 30, 2012 at 10:01pmSociopathy con’t..just interesting…
Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends;
Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others.
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility

Posted on May 31, 2012 at 9:54amExcellent observation, RJJ. Lizzie has serious insecurity issues and knows she isn’t able to make it without lying and cheating. One would have thought merely being a woman was enough advantage over “the system” for her. It’s sad for her though. There is a sense of accomplishment she will never know by advancing in your career merely by blood, sweat and tears. Oh, and being an expert in one‘s field doesn’t hurt.
