    Albie is in pain

    and he needs us.  I'm going to lift my boycott to watch tonight's Real Housewives of New Jersey.  Here is the heartbreaking clip:

    (click through if you can't see the video)

    Damn those law school snobs!  Albie, get yourself some meds and have Caroline pay off the admissions board at the University of Denver, where you can have a fresh start and I will be available (VERY available) to supervise your studies Hot for Teacher style.

    Problem SOLVED.

    YES! The ADA. There you go, Stephanie.

    Oh, my sweet, sweet Albie. I feel your pain. But you know what? I think we have enough lawyers in this world. What we don't have enough of is hot brother owned car washes/gentlemen's clubs. Quit law school and go into business with your brother. And when Danielle gets her square boobs fixed you can give her a job.

    This made me sad. What am I talking about, feelings are so 1979. Crap, I'm all mixed up.

    Seriously, this is sad and I hope Albie overcomes this setback. I am sure there is a school out there that cultivates their students instead of cutting them down.

    What - no Hot For Teacher video clip? I am waiting (not so) patiently for my random music dedication, Kasey Kasem. Do I need to bring up She's A Beauty?????

    Sigh....

    Mwah!

    OMG! This made me cry! What's wrong with me!?! Will Caroline adopt me? I love her. I don't care what anyone says! She's a momma bear protecting her babies, yet teaching them to hunt on their own. Love, love, love her. Oh yeah, and Albie's hot, too!!!

    I wonder if Danielle is going to sell her sex tape and single in a combo pack. Ooooh, or maybe she could make the single the soundtrack to the sex tape. She might as well offend all of the senses at once, and at a discounted price. Ugh.

    I love Albie too!! And I love the Manzos!!

    First of all, is Albie wearing a retainer? He's talking weirdly.

    Next of all, maybe he shouldn't be a lawyer. He is going to have to work 10X as hard just to be a mediocre lawyer. And it's Fordham. c'mon.

    Those of you who think the school is being too harsh ask yourself two questions: (1) Is the judge or the firm he ends up working at going to wait for Albie to read the document 3 times? (2) Would you want to pay your lawyer 3 times as much because he had to read the documents 3 times instead of the one time it takes the other lawyers?

    Life is not fair. Some of us are not as smart as Vicky, some of us cannot sing as well as the Countless or Kim, some of us are not smart enough to stand up to (or walk away from) systematic bullying and blink at the same time, some of us want to work the pole like Danielle but do not have the money to get implants. We have created this environment starting in elementary schools that everyone gets a blue ribbon and it is creating a sense of entitlement in our children.

    Albie needs to realize that the law is not his calling and find something else to do in which he can excel and show off his talents and his good looks. Boo has it half right. Albie should go work with his brother but I suggest that there be a side of the car wash just for the ladies.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNot all that myself

    Aww Albie! My heart is breaking for him! Fight the bastards Albie!

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermary

    Fordham is a great school & there's a job market out there just waiting to have him! Where did he go to law school? If he scored a 162+ to get into Fordham and failed out, there's definitely a learning disability there.

    wow...I completely felt his pain. After a lifetime of struggling...I found out I have adult ADD and it was discovered as I was in school for court reporting. I never finished...I just gave up, its literally you fighting your brain and it was just too much.I could not get my mind to rest, I felt like a prisoner. Hated being on Adderall, as I already hella skinny and could not deal with the stomaches aches and lack of appetite. But getting the diagnosis changed my life, it helped me to at least understand why I was the way I was and not just a total loser. I hope the best for him though. In the words of Good Times Florida Evans when James died...."Damn,Damn, Damn!!!!!!!

    This is bad but I LOL every time I read the phrase, "systematic bullying".

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commenteranon

    Poor Albie. But he seems like the type to pick himself up, dust himself on, and move on. At least he doesn't have a square boob that he gets fixed in a strip mall doctor's office that can't even afford to have the lighting on their sign working.

    TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLynne

    You guys are such hypocrites. If one of the housewives was lisping and failing out of law school and whining about it you'd be all over it, but no, it's sweet lil' Albie, so he gets a pass! I want to be a man.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commenteranon

    anon YOU ROCK!

    I am not sorry for Albie.............the law is not for him................and he has more oppourtunities than a lot of others his age who have worked just as hard or harder.

    I too was sad that he was hurt.............but he will land on his feet. TRUST......the Manzos will take care ot their own............and it is so obvious that he is the favorite child. I kind of feel sorry for the other chidlren.

    AND SGM this is my first comment after reading the blog for two years and I have to tell you that you and your readers RODK harder than the Countes and Kim combined :). Y'all always make me laugh.

    Caroline annoyed me here, with her "I have a dream..." speech.

    Life is short. Learn your limitations and move on.

    I believe Albie's professors. They have seen thousands of kids try to be lawyers, and they are WAY better qualified than Caroline to judge Albie's suitability to succeed at law school.

    Albie, ignore your mother. She's just being a mother. Listen to your professors.

    June 23, 2010 | Unregistered Commenteranon

    I love albie too!!!!!!!

    June 27, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMartha

    Oh boo hoo. Life is tough, deal with it. Nowhere does it tell you that if you have a dream you have a right to it. Sure you can fight for it, but sometimes there is a little thing called reality. Kids dream of being rock stars, basketball players, air force pilots, super models. I wouldn't want him defending me, sharp he isn't. Grow up Albie, mommy will take care of you.
