[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=360017 Made a Good Lawyer]] is a ''Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom'' thread written by shiftygiant.
In 1995, a young, charismatic politician decides that he could one day guide America's ship of state.
His name: [[SerialKiller Theodore Robert Bundy]].
Good ol' Bundy, by [[CutLexLuthorACheck putting his charm and talent to good use]] rises from prosecutor to US Senator. With 1996 coming up, he soon sets his sights on the top job in America...

!!''Made a Good Lawyer'' contains examples of:
* AmoralAttorney: UsefulNotes/TedBundy is a ''prosecutor'' who is noted for being a little too liberal with asking for death sentences. So yeah.
* DrugsAreBad: An in-universe [[spoiler: Dole[=/=]Bundy]] campaign ad featured Clinton's famous "I didn't inhale" statement, followed by an image of a [[ThinkOfTheChildren child about to inject heroin]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: Bundy proves to be quite charming, but underneath that is a darker picture...
* {{Hypocrite}}: In the darkest sense. Bundy seeks to punish serial killers, and he has the gall to call gay people necrophiles.
* LenoDevice: Appears on the [[Creator/DavidLetterman Late Show]], where he recounts to Letterman one of his hobbies: [[UnusualEuphemism cooking veal]].
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Bundy builds his reputation by helping out survivors of the Oklahoma City Bombing [[spoiler: and earns public sympathy after being injured in the bombing of the Olympic Games in Atlanta]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Bundy comparing gay people to necrophiliacs, although he does publicly apologize for this statement.
* [[spoiler: PresidentEvil]]: [[spoiler: Bundy got to be president by 2001... although when we see him, he's being interrogated by DC police]].
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Bundy becomes a popular tough on crime prosecutor, a popular senator, and reaches out to conservatives by speaking out for [[MoralGuardians protecting the family]].
* VillainProtagonist: The TL focuses on Bundy's political career.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that Bundy murdered Jack Kemp's granddaughter and made it look like suicide just to keep Kemp [[HeroicBSOD too grief-stricken]] to be on the Republican ticket]].
