Gonzales ‘angry’ his reputation has been tarnished: I don’t deserve this treatment.
Think Progress —
The New York Times Magazine has a new interview with former Bush attorney general Alberto Gonzales, who is set to begin a job teaching political science at Texas Tech this fall. Gonzales is also currently writing a book — although he doesn’t yet have a publisher — in which he plans to discuss more about why he resigned. In the meantime, Gonzales said that he has been upset at the way his legacy has been ruined:
Would you agree that your reputation was damaged by your service as attorney general?

Justice Comes to Alberto Gonzales
MoJo Blog Posts: mojo —
... Not enough justice, mind you. Still, in tomorrow's New York Times Magazine, Deborah Solomon has a satisfying interview with Bush's former attorney general, who resigned in disgrace over the attorneys generals firing scandal. Upshot: Gonzales has had no law firm job offers, has no book publisher, hasn't talked to Bush, who isn't helping out with legal bills, and a considerable portion of Texas Tech's faculty signed a letter protesting his appointment.

Lame Questions for Alberto Gonzales. Cheesy, Whiny Answers
The Moderate Voice —
I enjoy Deborah Solomon’s weekly interviews (”Questions For…”) in The New York Times Magazine, a column that has appeared in the Times’ weekend magazine since 2003.
Although her interview techniques and the published results of her interviews have come under fire, I find them interesting and generally learn something from them.
Sadly, I could not say the same about her “Questions for Alberto Gonzales” this weekend.
The questions and answers were lame, whiny, and cheesy and, as my local ...

The Alberto Gonzales self-rehabilitation tour continues?
The former Attorney General, who launched a mini media blitz in May, is back, this time trying his hand with New York Times magazine interviewer Deborah Solomon.
Among other tidbits, Gonzo says he hasn't talked to George W. Bush since the president left office. And he confirms that no law firm has offered him a job in the years since he resigned. (Though his lawyer told TPMmuckraker in May he was engaged in unspecified "legal work.") Gonzo is clear-eyed about how his ...
