Gonzo gets a job.

Bloomberg reports:

Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who was forced from his job amid a controversy over the firings of federal prosecutors, has been hired to provide assistance to a special master on a patent case.

Gonzales will help former U.S. District Judge Layn R. Phillips oversee settlement talks in the case of a Texas company which claims banks such as Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc.’s Citibank and Bank of America Corp. are violating its patents for taking and transmitting digital images of checks.

Phillips, in an order signed yesterday, said he needed Gonzales’s help because of the number of parties in the case and the “overall complexity of this litigation.”

C&L’s Logan Murphy adds, “Times are tough, with the recession, mortgage foreclosure crisis and rising unemployment, but it appears former Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales has finally landed on his feet. Well, if you’re trying to find evidence of illegal activity, why not hire someone who has experience in breaking the law?”

1. Complexity? Gonzales? Not a good idea.
He has a serious memory impairment.

He'll probably get his wife to pick him up every day because he'll forget where he lives.

5. "Alberto Gonzales has finally landed on his feet"
why, just once, can't one of these fuckers land on their big fucking head. Sorry for the profanity, but these asshats NEVER face the consequences of their actions.

6. none of those reasons
he is a revolving door candidate with ties to the crime families in the white house - sounds a lot like the godfather series. Its certainly his legal expertise they are hiring - they are hiring a way into the putrid halls of congress and the sewer of what is commonly known as the white house. Of course by the time bushie is dont with it it should be called the brown house.
