In Searching for New Job, Gonzales Sees No Takers

Alberto R. Gonzales, unemployed.

WASHINGTON — Alberto R. Gonzales, like many others recently unemployed, has discovered how difficult it can be to find a new job. Mr. Gonzales, the former attorney general, who was forced to resign last year, has been unable to interest law firms in adding his name to their roster, Washington lawyers and his associates said in recent interviews.

He has, through friends, put out inquiries, they said, and has not found any takers. What makes Mr. Gonzales’s case extraordinary is that former attorneys general, the government’s chief lawyer, are typically highly sought.

A longtime loyalist to George W. Bush dating to their years together in Texas, Mr. Gonzales was once widely viewed as a strong candidate to be the first Hispanic-American nominated one day to the Supreme Court. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he carried an impressive personal story as the child of poor Mexican immigrants.

Despite those credentials, he left office last August with a frayed reputation over his role in the dismissal of several federal prosecutors and the truthfulness of his testimony about a secret eavesdropping program. He has had no full-time job since his resignation, and his principal income has come from giving a handful of talks at colleges and before private business groups.

1. I'm sure the BFEE will find something for him.

[DeSwiss]

5. Curator....

...at the Bush Library??? :shrug:

[rzemanfl]

7. Nah! Men's room attendant. n/t

[JeffR]

2. That poor little prick. I feel bad.

But at least the Heritage Foundation and the AEI can keep funneling some speaker's fees his way until he can write a "best seller" published by Regnery and coming soon to a bestsellers list near you, albeit with an asterisk. Too bad he can't call his memoirs Mein Kampf, but I understand that title was already used.

[DeSwiss]

9. Or an....

expert commentator on Faux Snooze....

[JeffR]

15. Nice.

I just wanna see him land on his forgetful feet, somewhere, somehow.

[UpInArms]

30. no way can Gonzo write a memoir book - he can't remember shit!

or at least that was the act he put on - here's the youtube - 72 "I don't recall" statements

I Don't Recall - Alberto Gonzales Hearing

[bvar22]

34. Alberto can't "recall" enough to write his memoirs.

!

[panader0]

3. "Schandenfreude" now that is elitist

lol. not sure but is it irony? (I'm rural)

[DeSwiss]

10. No, I think its German...

How rural are you???

[hatrack]

16. "Schadenfreude" can, however, express a certain amount of "bitterness" . . .

Given that it's German, it's really all in the pronunciation!

:toast:

[pscot]

14. Schadenfreude is German

Schandenfreude is what you get when you mix beer and lemonade and drink about six of them.

[blondie58]

28. It is sehr Deutsch

Schadenfreude comes from the German, from Schaden, "damage" + Freude, "joy." It is often capitalized, as it is in German.

[Stuckinthebush]

31. A rural buddy explain schandenfreude to me

It was great. Add his southern drawl to it and it was priceless.

After explaining the German concept, he summed it up like this:

"So what it really means is that I laugh my ass off when you get screwed."

Perfect.

[Elidor]

4. Not much call for Toadies and Stooges out here in the real world, Gonzo!

Sucks to be you, you miserable excuse. See ya in the unemployment line, Bozo.

[DeSwiss]

11. Maybe he could open up a Wall Street investment bank....

...he'll be bailed-out in no time.

[rzemanfl]

6. You know times are though when a kiss-ass, suck up, fucktard,

with no brain, scruples or ethics, who lies like a rug and has a law degree and is a member of a minority can't find work as a kiss-ass, suck up, fucktard minority lawyer with no brain, scruples or ethics.

[DeSwiss]

12. Public defender's office???

They're always looking for lawyers...

[rzemanfl]

17. Automatic ineffective assistance of counsel claim, every time,

every case.

[Turbineguy]

8. Maybe he should apply

with some sort of Escort Service. Maybe he can get some repub senator to pork him and pay for the privilege

[DeSwiss]

13. And the best part?

After its over, "he won't recall."

[eppur_se_muova]

18. ROFL!

:rofl: That's even better than Jimmy-Jeff's "leaves no marks, just impressions".

[fascisthunter]

19. I'd Prefer to See Him in Jail Where He Belongs

I'm sure he'd make lots of friends there.

[madokie]

24. naw he'll just have one good friend

all the others will be users;-)

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

20. He could become the Grover Norvquist to Dumbya's Ronald Reagan

Run around trying to trump up how important Chimpy was and is to the future of America. There are a few rubes out there still who'd eat it up.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

21. But, but, but....if he wants a job he can FIND ONE!!! Yes????

:rofl:

[eShirl]

22. exactly, he must not want to work

lazy bum

[DeSwiss]

35. Of course....

...god blesses his own in a manner which they deserve. Those lazy poor people aren't rich because they don't have jobs! And the don't have jobs because they don't want to work, see?

Fredo will get..... something. Soon. Very soon.

- Excuse me please. But that level of sarcasm requires that I wash my mouth out afterwards.....

[Perry Logan]

23. Doesn't this prove there is a God?

[DeSwiss]

36. Well, if it does....

...then explain why god foisted this asshole upon us in the first place?

- Must be those "mysterious ways" again....

[bean fidhleir]

25. That hump should be thankful he's not in prison yet (nt)

[POAS]

26. Maybe he's make a good jailhouse lawyer! n/t

[formercia]

27. Gonzo's misery is my entertainment

Germans have turned it into an art form, but to me, it's entertainment.:evilgrin:

[307 MMS]

29. Turd with legs

You mean ASScroft won't even hire him?

[zanne]

32. Want fries with that? nt

[UTUSN]

33. Note to minority members selling out to Rethugs: You will be USED and CAST AWAY!1 n/t
