Alberto Gonzales Doesn't Want Your Pity
He just wants your money. From the ACS Blog:
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will receive $40,000 for a speech at the University of Florida, according to the Independent Florida Alligator, UF's student newspaper.The November 19 speech will be paid for by student activity fees. (H/T The Blog of Legal Times)
Being an ex-AG: nice work if you can get it.

then again, it's also inexcusable to police someone else's spelling while writing like a tard face. disregard "it."
Sorry SLJ....the "schtick" is officially over-staying its welcome.
as a UF alum, i'll certainly be saying no the next time they hit me up for money.
I had no idea Movember was up and running in the U.S.

Subject: Black & White Suits in Support of Pakistani Lawyers
The world was inspired this week when thousands of Pakistani lawyers, many of them from law schools in this country, took to the streets as torchbearers of democracy. After President Musharaff abolished the Supreme Court and four Provincial High Courts, scrapped the Constitution and detained Supreme Court judges, lawyers in black suits and ties marched in peaceful protest to this affront to the rule of law. Their march was not met peacefully-instead, they encountered police batons, fists, and tear gas. Thousands of them have been injured and arrested. Some have even been charged with treason, which carries a sentence of death.
In a quiet gesture of respect, and in honor of all those who risk life and liberty to take a stand for justice, Austin lawyers are asked to wear black suits and white shirts on Wednesday, Nov. 14. May we all be granted the strength and courage to make the sacrifices that they have.

I LOVE the 'stache. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to respect FAGAG after all.
UF gave that idiotic war criminal an opportunity to speak? I'll never give a penny to that shit-hole. Why don't they pay him an extra $10K to remove the porn-stache
And the law school's career services office is the worst. It's amazing that UF school is ranked as high as it is (which it isn't).
UF alums have money??

UF Law School, that is
Only the ones who play professional sports.
Alberto Gonzalez = tremendous ass clown.
No bonus talk today? Figured Friday would be key ...

Don't listen to them, SLJ, you are the best thing to ever happen to ATL comments!
where's the bonus talk. I NEED MY BONUS TALKKKKKK.
What a stupid thread. "Washed up politician gets paid to speak." This happens, uh, constantly.
Yeah, but if he hadn't authorized torture he'd be worth 10k a pop, tops. Think about it.
How about, being a war criminal, nice work if you can get it.
When is he coming back to V&E...
Houston to working with disgraced former AGs
maybe V&E can get GW back too, he used to work in the mail room (no shit)
I'd say he's about worth about 40 cents.
Maybe he's hoping for a stint on Battlestar Galactica if Olmos kicks the bucket. Because that's all he's ever been qualified to lead--an imaginary space ship.
UF is awesome. I got to see President Bush (#1) and Mikhail Gorbachev when I went there. Don't hate sip on Haterade folks...
And FYI - UF invented that shit, too.
