Actually, Phelps did not get his start as a lawyer. If memory serves, he got his start by selling either vacuum cleaners or brushes door to door and by having his then young children sell candy door to door and turn over the proceeds to the family coffers. He has been barred from practicing in the courts of the bar to which he was originally admitted for a long time now. So maybe he ought to be described as a hypocritical salesman or minister. Although I realize lawyers are mighty tempting targets, he really does seem to be doing more mischief as a baptist minister these days.
