Alberto Gonzales - Out of Work?

Apparently the former Attorney General can't find work and he's wondering why. Andrew Cohen on CBS News' website helps analyze the situation. It's a good read, if you've got the time.

Sixteen months after resigning in disgrace, Alberto Gonzales had the gall this past week to declare himself “one of the many casualties of the war on terror,” a statement so preposterous and offensive that it unintentionally explains precisely why the former Attorney General of the United States finds himself a self-described outcast in the world of law and politics.

The man is a walking, talking herald for his own colossal failures.

In an extraordinary interview this past week, the man who enabled the worst scandal at the Justice Department since Watergate rhetorically asked: “What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?”
