Maybe nobody wants an incompetent fool as a partner. Pretty efficient system.

No link but Drudge has a Developing.

1. I can't blame them.



Who would want to hire someone who couldn't remember anything about their job from one day to the next?

3. They know "Just say whatever it takes until you get backed into a corner and there's nothing
left to say" doesn't work.

7. Maybe the Mafia Has Openings
I can't think of anywhere else that his unique talents and particular strengths would be more appreciated.

The man has no backers, no political pull, is under a legal cloud that will only intensify, has demonstrated a complete lack of integrity, and has the personality of a rat. One would leap at the chance to have such power on one's side!

9. Given those credentials,
he'd work out just fine as the district attorney in Harris County, TX.

12. I have a few chores around the house he could do...
too bad for him that I know his work history. At least I can leave jobs off my resume that didn't end well.

Former Attorney General can't get a job as a lawyer. I had to type that just to see it in print and laugh.

14. Such people are hired NOT for their "ability", but for their "connections".
But Gonzo's "connections" are growing more toxic by the day.

15. Where are they now
It would be interesting to see someone do a real "Where are they now" story on Alberto. But even with the baggage, he will land someplace.

16. He'll find his way onto a Board of Directors
somehow, somewhere. His contacts won't let him starve.

Evil men will always find a way to be protected.

19. He's dumb as dog shit and a criminal as well. Even the lowest law firm won't touch him and good for
them. Hope he rots in hell, since Pelosi et al won't put him in jail. rec'd

21. Did he leave a resume in the "flunky pool" at The Carlysle Group?
They always need someone there to fluff the pillows and peel grapes for the Lords of the Realm.

But I'll bet they pay minimum wage.
