Ha. American Bar Assn got a lot of grief for its Gonzo Lawyer of the Year story

[Robbien]

So they decided to change the title to Newsmaker of the Year.


from ThinkProgress:

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.

Putzes.

1. Well deserved IMO! He sure was a newsmaker. Maybe they should have

prefaced the word newsmaker with "NOTORIOUS"!

2. Should have re-named it Sniveling Weisel of the Year

3. He needs the spotlight;

4. Idiots should be pushing for his disbarment...

not any grandiose acknowledgments, no matter how generic they try to make it.
