Gonzo Still Out Of Work, Perhaps He Should Try Comedy

Alberto Gonzales departed the Department of Justice in shame, with threats of impeachment pending and a DoJ that was for all intensive purposes a political arm of the White House. More than sixteen months after that glorious day he left, Gonzo is still out of a job. He sat down with the Austin-American Statesman this week to clue us in on where he's at.

From The Austin-American Statesman:

It’s a rough economy right now, and it’s a tough time for a lot of law firms right now. Obviously they are very careful about bringing on new people, and they are going to be careful about bringing on people where there are questions about things that may have happened in their past,” he said. “Over time, I’m confident those things will be resolved, and things will work themselves out.”

“Greater opportunities,” Gonzales, 53, said, “will present themselves once the stories are out there.”

Oh it is rough, but bastards like you have helped shape their fate in more ways than just economic ones. Morality might have something to do with it as well. Helping to defend the practice of torture perhaps to name an example. Though he is writing a book so a publisher could throw him at least a little cash for that pile of lies. Oh and in the last part of the interview, he states he thinks about being baseball commissioner or something like that. Now where could he have gotten an idea like that?

I know this was billed as a serious interview, but really Gonzo, you could go on the road with a routine like that. Of course, that is permitting you stay out of prison for all those crimes you committed with your buddy George Bush.
