"I can buy my way out of anything"

As in the words of Ernie McCracken: "I'm above the law. I can buy my way out of anything."

Who in their right mind would want to enter the field of becoming a lawyer nowadays? It's pretty much a joke of a profession, at least with celebrities. R. Kelly was acquitted of all 14 charges leveraged against him in Illinois. WTF? What more evidence do you need? The prosecution had two eye-witnesses, and a video tape of him having sex with a 13-year old and pissing on another under-age girl. All the defense had was a clip from the Wayan Brothers' movie, Little Man.

What would it take for a celebrity to actually get found guilty of a crime? Clearly evidence, eye-witnesses, character testimony, and all other lawyer jargon does not work. My new life goal is to become a celebrity not for the money and girls, just so I am going to be above the law.

One could say, based on your evening job, that you are already above the law.
