[JoeRedskin]

Appeared before the State's three major elected officials seeking approval of my client's highly contentious project. After approval by 2-1 vote, was told by my client that my presentation was "masterful" and heard through another attorney that one of the deputies to these officials commented that my presentation was "an excellent example of client advocacy".

... and, to top all off, as part of the presentation, and in response to a really, really stupid suggestion from one of the officials, I was able to firmly, professionally and correctly tell an elected official with considerable power that he was wrong, was being stupid and needed to sit down and shut the F up. No one in the room disagreed.

Client bought me lunch and beer. It tasted far too sweet.
