a friend just tried to tell me that MBAs run washington, DC. I pointed out that (for example) 59 members of the Senate have JDs (which presumably but not always means not MBAs). so, GWB notwithstanding, it looks to me like DC is still run by lawyers. his response? "if you think they run DC you're mistaken. their staffs do."

I think this is a bullshit argument anyway, though I can't find any stats on congressional staff per se. http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RS21379.pdf is the best link I can find... can anyone else do any better? It seems like the "rich" types of people in washington would mostly be entrepreneurs anyway, not MBAs.

Nice find.

I wonder if there is some kind of resource that shows bios of Congressional staff.

thanks

this is the type of person who, if you don't agree with them, automatically believes you're insulting them or disrespecting them.

i need to back myself up carefully and tactfully. otherwise the only options are having him think i'm a complete asshole for not believing him or simply agreeing "yeah, you're right."

"if you think they run DC you're mistaken. their staffs do."

So DC is run by wannabe layers?

Most people I know who work in D.C. political stuff say the staffers really are the ones running the country. It seems unlinkely they'd be full of MBAs though.
