"I'll give you any job you want!"

No one should be surprised at the revelation that disgraced former AG Alberto Gonzales is having trouble finding a job:

Mr. Gonzales, the former attorney general, who was forced to resign last year, has been unable to interest law firms in adding his name to their roster, Washington lawyers and his associates said in recent interviews.

He has, through friends, put out inquiries, they said, and has not found any takers. [...] He has had no full-time job since his resignation, and his principal income has come from giving a handful of talks at colleges and before private business groups.

Why would any respectable law firm want to hire a proven liar who is prone to memory lapses? Their interviewers probably preemptively discard his resume out of concern that Gonzales might waterboard his way into a job offer even if there are no openings.
