gonzales.jpgThere’s a reason there are so many lawyer jokes. Well here’s another one: Who is the American Bar Association’s Journal Lawyer of the Year? Alberto Gonzales! It wasn’t bad enough that earlier this year CNN held up the pro-torture, anti-human rights former Attorney General as a Latino to admire.

The monthly magazine gave the awards to lawyers who made the most news, said editor and publisher Edward A. Adams.
“Think about Time magazine’s Person of the Year,” Adams said in an interview. “In years past they’ve named people like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin. So we’re not suggesting by these awards that these are the best lawyers in any sense of the word. We are saying they are the most newsworthy — and perhaps also the best.”

Well that’s a relief, I think.
