Alberto Gonzales Finds A Job

Sounds a bit like Molotov getting a permanent post as USSR Ambassador to Ulan Bator, Mongolia after Stalin died. Tornadoes are welcome break from the otherwise crushing boredom in Lubbock.

If I was a student I would answer every test request with "I don't recall."

GWB to Hance: You beat me once. Congratulations. Now I have another loser for you...

I'm not an expert or anything - or rather, I don't recall being an expert - but this doesn't seem like a prestigious job for a former Attorney General.

Sotomayor:"I would hope that a wise Latina woman, with the richness of her experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Kent Hance, (re: Gonzales): “His own upbringing in Houston as part of a migrant family with eight children makes him qualified to tell underrepresented Texas students that college is possible."

Ergo, IOKIYAR.

Former A.G. A.G. is lucky he isn't in prison.

He can help their student-athletes forge their SATs.

It's kind of sad, really. He could have a lot to bring "to tell underrepresented Texas students that college is possible." Unfortunately, he also could tell them how to cut corners, pervert justice out of misplaced loyalty, perjure yourself and destroy your reputation.

KT: OT, but thanks for mentioning Buddy Holly. A little before my time, but still one of my favorites. Gonzales? Not one of my favorites.

Stolen from the comments thread at the Statesman:
-
Those who can, do. Those who can't: Tech.

Will Texas Tech now start teaching Waterboarding 101?

I still can't figure out why the right wing crazies haven't tried to justify waterboarding by claiming that cleanliness is next to Godliness.

This is like Dick Cheney using his corporate experience in Big Oil to run a service station in Valdosta, Georgia.

Not a knock against less-hallowed institutions of higher learning--I went to grad school at the University of Missouri and Georgia State University--but this seems somewhat small for a former A.G.

In the case of Gonzales, however, this is as good as it's gonna get.

Does Harriet Miers clean his office every night?

At least he's out of government. Or is this just killing time till he tries to run for office in Texas?

I was starting to think his next job would entail asking people "Do you want fries with that?".

Hey...TTU has hired other big names!....like Bobby Knight (the Dick Cheney of college basketball)!!! They have a track record with people like this!

Is hiring a disgraced schlock ex-attorney general really going to improve recruiting and TX Techs reputation? The man was incompetent, why would the university bother?
