Alberto can't find a job

Last year we covered the US attorney firing scandal as much, if not more, than all the major political blogs.  We watched from the very beginning as a few reports of firings turned into a legislative investigation of the Justice Department for firing nearly a dozen US attorneys for political reasons, which destroyed the career of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Now, in the year following his resignation, Gonzales is having a difficult time getting hired:

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

He has, through friends, put out inquiries, they said, and has notfound any takers. What makes Mr. Gonzales’s case extraordinary is thatformer attorneys general, the government’s chief lawyer, are typicallyhighly sought.

Even Rumsfeld was able to find work somewhere else.  This is pretty bad.
