Yep, that’s right. The American Bar Association Journal has named Alberto Gonzales Lawyer of the Year. Wait a minute, you say, isn’t that like naming Alec Baldwin Father of the Year?

But there’s a rationale. Gonzales makes the cut for being the “most talked-about” lawyer around, not for the quality of his lawyering. True, most of the talking had to do with how he should resign, but there was undoubtedly a lot of talk. Other administration figures like Monica Goodling, Scooter Libby, and David Addington — also much “talked-about” — got honorable mention.
