IGNORANT, OR JUST ARROGANT?

Former Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, is perplexed as to why he's still unemployed and roundly despised after leaving the nation's top law enforcement post. Here's one of his comments during an interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal:

What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?
Since Alberto Gonzales is still looking for answers, for a start he could look at his actions here:

* Firing 9 U.S. Attorneys because they didn't go after Democratic politicians, which deliberately politicized America's legal system.

* Signing off on torture and other dubious practices as White House counsel.

* Signing off on eavesdropping without a warrant.
In sum, as the U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was little more than a White House tool, who saw the law as something to be skirted rather than upheld. He was the stooge who helped pave the way for Bush, Rove, and Cheney to do their dirty work.

And he wonders why he can't find a job in the legal profession . . .
