TPM:
Earlier this week, the American Bar Association Journal, to universal derision, named Gonzales Lawyer of the Year. They tried to make it clear that the recognition was merely for Gonzo's talent for stealing headlines, a talent unmatched among lawyers in 2007, but still, the jarring combination of his picture next to the words "Lawyer of the Year" proved too much for many to bear.
When this article was posted online on December 12, 2007, it was titled “Lawyers of the Year.” The article defined that term as the year’s biggest legal newsmaker, identifying former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as the major newsmaker of 2007. The Journal regrets that we did not make this theme clear.
We appreciate the feedback we’ve received, and we’re acting on it. So that there can be no confusion, the term “Lawyers of the Year” has been changed in the headline and story to “Newsmakers of the Year.” The story is otherwise unchanged from its original version.

I emailed the ABA Journal about the worse Lawyer of the Year. Now the excuse they gave is stupid. You don't print anything like that for the public to see with that idiot on the front. Even Mikie is a disgrace to the Justice System. Now I have a suggestion to all the lawyers who brought that book with Gonzo, just use the paper to line the bird cage, litter box, curb your dog or flush.
