So How Many Other Questions Did He Miss?

Some schmuck in Massachusetts failed the Mass. bar exam and has decided to blame the gays.

I wonder, is he suing because the question is there, or because he flunked? If he had passed, would he still sue? The question still would have been there, persecuting away, but maybe the sting would not have been so great...say only $5 mil or so.

Perhaps more pressing, is he later going to sue himself for defamation of character? He certainly is ruining whatever career he might have left by very publicly letting the world know he can barely pass the bar. (This assumes, of course, that he knew the answer to the question and would have passed if he had answered it.)

But just when I lose all hope for those in my future profession, I find these reactions:

"David Yas, editor of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, said the suit was 'idiotic' and that Dunne was 'completely missing the point about what it means to be a lawyer.'"

And even better:

Lee Swislow, executive director of Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders: "The bar exam was a test of whether he knew how to apply domestic relations law, and he refused to answer. Now he's suing, and I think that makes him a loser."

The article also says that he's representing himself. Let's suppose for a moment that he would have passed if he had answered. Tell me, would you want to be represented in court by someone who passed the bar exam by only one question?
