Forgot Samantha Bee is Canadian, but point still stands.
Better than a senile con-man
Lincoln was a lawyer before he got into politics. He may have had other jobs prior to that, but law is what put him in position to run for office.

That’s what you think! I’m an Australian with Sri Lankan parents!
On the other hand, he’s got a small hand.
