Alberto Gonzales To Teach At Texas Tech

LUBBOCK, Texas — Alberto Gonzales, who resigned as U.S. attorney general two years ago, is coming to Texas Tech this fall to teach political science.

Texas Tech Unversity System Chancellor Kent Hance confirmed the hiring on Tuesday.

It was first reported on the Austin American-Statesman in its online edition. A senior business assistant in Tech's political science department, Dora Rodriguez, told the newspaper that Gonzales will teach a "special topics" course on contemporary issues in the executive branch.

Gonzales served as then-Gov. George W. Bush's personal attorney, then was Texas secretary of state and a Texas Supreme Court justice before joining Bush in Washington.

he can still get his instructions from his puppet master,
and it won't be an out of state call
how's that succession thing going?
did he advise honduras?

At least he's off the streets... and they know where to serve the indictments.

I'm sure someone's beat me to this already...

Cronyism 101?

"Hey Albert, John Yoo is over here at UC Berkeley teaching (torture 101?)" Do you think you could swing him a job over at Texas Tech. It would be a win-win. It would help to wipe out the stain that he casts upon the universities reputation. And you and John can renew your friendship! Just think, you two can have lunch and talk about the "good old days" when you came up with ways to circumvent the laws of the land, trampled on peoples civil rights, and redefined torture to be the amount of physical damage that a person can take that is just short of death or organ failure.

Alberto Gonzales and Texas Tech. I'd call that a perfect fit!

I guess the sh** shoveler job at the zoo was already filled.

Given the state of Texas' educational systen, it figures Gonz0 would end up there.

That man should be in prison. He is a symbol of all that is corrupt in government.

[OutsourcedAgain]

Are they going to hold these classes in the gray bar hotel?

[stavros]

Nothing against the fine students of Texas Tech, but you can have him.

You can always rely on Texas to manage to make an even bigger fool of the state and to hire failed criminals for positions of responsibility. After having lived here for 25 years, I keep telling myself that nothing would surprise me, but somehow they always find a way to be even bigger a****.

Isnt Yoo currently teaching "Law" in Berkeley....

[gfm975]

yo bigal, teaching law at tx tech is equivalent to washing dishes at DENNY's....

[Rule Of Law]

The only job he should get is one where he says, "Would you like cheese on that?"

[SamEllison]

Don't take any class trips to Europe there Gonzo!
