Not Even Toastmasters Will Help Gonzales
After watching his lethargic public speaking engagements before the U.S. Congress, it is, perhaps, no surprise to learn that Alberto Gonzales is a wash-out on the college lecture circuit. The former attorney general has signed up with a talent agency that's been trying to gin up lucrative speaking engagements for him on college campuses, for $35,000 a pop. Gonzales needs the money to pay his legal bills stemming from the multiple investigations into his tenure at the Department of Justice, but the students aren't biting, reports the Washington Post. Not only are the schools refusing to pay his hefty fee, but when he has spoken recently on campuses, he's been greeted by hecklers. Gonzales is slated to speak in February at Washington University in St. Louis, where students are already looking forward to major protests of his appearance.
Speaking engagements? He should be in jail.
What I'd like to see is an entire audience of students, all wearing Gonzo masks all holding up copies of the Constitution and then lighting them on fire.
Maybe then Gonzo will get the message of his legacy.
What else would he expect, after what he did. I'm suprised that anyone would waste their time to go listen to him speak.
I don't object to Alberto Gonzales' inflated fees for speaking, I object to his continued freedom of movement.
The man should be indicted, tried, convicted and jailed.
Gonzales is just another affirmative action guy whose plane has finally crashed. Oh too bad. Look at all the more qualified people that he displaced to get his seat in law school.
