Alberto Gonzales Nabs Teaching Job

Alberto Gonzales resigned two years ago as President Bush’s embattled attorney general, but it looks like he’s no longer out of work. Gonzales has lined up a teaching job at Texas Tech University for the fall, according to sources. He’ll be teaching a “special topics” course on the executive branch in the university’s political science, according to a member of the department. Gonzales was much maligned during the controversies over illegal federal wiretapping and the alleged politically motivated dismissal of several U.S. attorneys.

Wasn't it Texas Tech that hired the basketball coach who slaps kids?
Gonzo can teach "How to Not Recall," and "How to Misread the Law," and "How to Be A Really Bad Lawyer But A Really Good Liar."
he wasn't that good a liar, just good enough to stay out of prison (so far).
rapierwits,He is out of prison.he was a good liar. They all will stay out of prison.But remember,they all were under orders. It was not them,on their own.No one is ever going to pay for anything.We have to make sure,maybe we have some control,the people,over the new administration.At the end they all do what they want.We cant stop them.they seem to appease us,but only when it is what they want.
Hope he keeps class notes handy or uses a teleprompter for his lectures - he seems to have a problem "recalling" things.
He's fit right in the Obama administration
so will you
OMG, you are so right! He's the first President EVER to read from a teleprompter.....mostly because the last President couldn't read, from a teleprompter or not.
FAIL!
You're illerate as well as stupid.
He finally landed a job.He better do something cause the spanish are going to Tri him.He is a Freemason Push boy .He saw that Bush's Freemason secret society agenda got pushed thru.Therefore the name PUSH BOY along with Rove and the rest of Bush's PUSH BOYS........!
Matt, please get help.
A PhD from Texas Tech is equivalent to a HS diploma from Anaheim High! No offense Anaheim. Those people are so far right, they want to bring back yesterday. Those people in Anaheim might lean a little right too. Orange County is the home of The John Birch Society, you know.
Did W pull another string? No room at SMU?
I don't think that SMU really wanted 41 either. I think that he was pushed down their throats. They couldn't refuse all that money.
correction: 43
ur right, they were the only ones left after Baylor dropped out.
Dang it! he coulda been stuck in Waco!

What do you expect from the premier "Girls Gone Wild," school in America? This is where young Republicans go to sow their wild oats and engage in alcohol fueled orgies before settling down and turning perfectly ugly and uninteresting.

Well, Its not Harvard.
Its not even the University of Texas.
But hell, this lapdog mouthpiece is lucky to have a job.
As much as I disagree with the decisions he has made, I would totally enroll in one of his classes. Honestly, if you were at Texas Tech would you pass up the opportunity to learn?

Learn how to lie? That subject is taught at home (in republican houses).

Texas or Alaska the only places where he could "nab" a job....ugh what a sleaze this one is....
Its time to interject some reality into this "hate-fest".
If the wire-tapping policies of Gonzalez were so bad, then why has Obama gone to court to continue precisely the SAME wiretapping policies?
Because he's turning into a scum bucket. I'm loosing a lot of respect for him. If he continues on the same course, he can forget 2012.
Reality has nothing to do with it. This guy's real contribution to Bush was covering up Bush's DWI from his alcoholic haze. This is the guy who (along with too many GNOPs) got that dimwit elected.
Plantangenet, why will none of the Bush enablers finally admit that Bush is an idiot?
Disgust for people like Gonzalez, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rove, etc. is not hate, it's just disgust.

It's still not legal according to the constitution.
Oh, for Pete's sake!
Texas Tech is no tier-one university, but it isn't exactly Podunk U either.
And if anybody thinks Gonzales will actually be in the classroom, pardon my guffaws.
Still, one has to wonder what the board of regents at Tech was thinking.
Maybe there is no such thing as bad publicity?
IDK, J I was "pre-approved" to their law school!
The board was thinking, "where did all this money come from"? Someone had to pay back Gonzalez for his ability to lie.........Huuaach, gfrauugh. Sorry, I started to puke.
OMG. I'm am stunned. I live in Lubbock. Maybe I'll run into him in the grocercy store and have the the chance to slap the shit out him.
BTW. Texas Tech is an excellent University. Well... used to be.
If you had been here during the primaries, you would have been amazed at the amount of support for Obama. The kids here went ape shit over him. They are not as backward as some of ya'll seem to think.
Please don't make assumptions.....here in Raider land we are not all dipshits.
The question about being backward is for the board and faculty, not the students.
From our hometown newspaper. Read the comments. Some of us are not pleased.
