Beer-Goggled Gonzales

I'm sure you all remember disgraced former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. When he was chased out of town back in 2007, he claimed that law firms would probably be hesitant to hire him because of the ongoing investigations and the possibility that he would be indicted.

Gonzales-- still out of work and looking for employment-- now blames the economy. In an interview with the Austin-American Statesman, the former Bushie apparently doesn't realize that he's a disgraced former Attorney General:

“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.”

Alberto, dude-- the stories aren't going to get any better. If you have to-- get a construction job (like building phony justifications for torture) or run a 7-11 (sorta like selling bullshit to congress) while your pal Georgie still has some pull.
