Gonzo Rehab Campaign Has Its Work Cut Out

We told you earlier today about Alberto Gonzales’ apparent use of the nomination of the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice — a distinction for which Gonzo himself was once a top candidate — to rehabilitate his reputation.

But judging by the way that the ex-AG’s name is being invoked today — as a prime example of an unqualified political hack who was seen to be in the running for the top court thanks largely to his personal ties to the president — that rehab campaign doesn’t seem to be going so well.
