American Bar Association Compares Gonzales to Hitler & Stalin

The American Bar Association has named Alberto Gonzales as its Lawyer of the Year. Wait till you hear their rationale:
The monthly magazine gave the awards to lawyers who made the most news, said editor and publisher Edward A. Adams.

"Think about Time magazine's Person of the Year," Adams said in an interview. "In years past they've named people like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin. So we're not suggesting by these awards that these are the best lawyers in any sense of the word. We are saying they are the most newsworthy - and perhaps also the best."

I know you were trying to soften the blow with that "perhaps also the best" line, Edward A. Adams, but the fact remains -- ouch.
