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.

Why is this creep not in jail?
Obviously he can't teach law, because he knows nothing about it.--maybe it's a course called "Subverting the Constitution--I did it My Way."

[Feanor]

In time, I think we will see him in jail. Well, I can hope so, anyway.

[2bsure]

I hope his students get more information out of him than congress did.

[Retrofuturistic]

Ridiculous. What integrity does he have, in terms of teaching about justice? Or the Constitution? When he willfully undermined both?

[GLT21]

I know which School my kids are not going to.

[NealHib]

Just as his extended unemployment benefits are running out.

[earlyearlyearly]

What in the hell is he teaching?

[randyjet]

Living in Lubbock is pretty good punishment by the way.

[randyjet]

How come he didn't get a job at Ashcroft's new firm? They hired Johnny Sutton who railroaded Ramos and Compean.

[BigAl72]

Texas Tech? I thought he would be washing dishes at Denny"s.

[TXfemmom]

Obviously, you aren't aware of what Texas Tech is like. The school is like a giant Denny's training program.

[Symphysodon]

He couldn't teach people to pour urine out of a boot! And that's if the instructions were written on the heel!

[Articulator]

So, does anyone want to try to make the argument that he didnt lie to Congress
Just asking for the sport of it.

This is not Princeton, Yale or Harvard. It's a dirt patch plum full of hillbilly types who cannot pass the State Bar without a grading curve. In other words, there are no Rhodes Scholars at this school.

I wonder if they can keep their accredidation having a criminal on staff?

[madtom]

Will they let him keep his job after he's disbarred?
