Few of us will ever know what we're worth, but former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has an idea of his value. According to the people at Pomona College, Gonzales's $35,000 price tag (plus expenses) was quite the overestimation, and a school committee took a speaking invitation for the ex-top lawyer off the table, the Student Life reports. As one professor put it, "Call me old-fashioned, but I think there's something really gross about a celebrity lecture circuit that rewards people for misconduct, scandal, and even felony crimes." Not that she's biased or anything.

He got $40,000 for speaking in Florida. He was asking $35,000 for Pomona. By my count you'll be able to get him off of the Dollar Menu by the first week in March '08.
