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.

Lawyers don't typically teach undergrad students, they teach law to future lawyers. Texas Tech? Do they repair DVD players?

[Zen0469]

Which foreign dictator has hired Gonzales?

[JessWonderin]

Ethics Class 101 ????

[blukazoo]

What's he planning to teach? How to fu.ck.up a country?

[Scoppertop]

Maybe. Or how to become a white-collar criminal.

[ObamAtomic]

For some reason, I am portrayed as the one who is evil in formulating policies that people disagree with. I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror.

We thinking of you a war criminal.

Transcript of Alberto Gonzales Job Interview at Texas Tech

Texas Tech Interviewer: "So you'd like to be a Red Raider, Mr Gonzales"

ABG: "You betcha. That's Palin-speak! I could teach languages! I've got all the Christian Conservative and Neocon dialects down. Doublespeak, being vague and evasive...­"

TT: "What are you actually qualified to teach, exactly? Didn't you fundamentally violate the Constitution while you were in office?

ABG: "That's EXACTLY why I should be the one teaching it. Future Neocons will need to know how. Wiretapping, torture, all of these need a signed piece of paper justifying their use. Didn't you study Nazi Germany? The key thing is creating official looking documents, signing statements and so forth that make it LOOK as if its legal."

TT "Well, we're not a liberal school, but we're not exactly Regents Law school or Bob Jones University"

ABG: "I know, I know. But think about what you could someday become! Just imagine the Jeb W. Bush presidential library HERE, on THIS campus! "

TT: "What about torture"

ABG: Isn't dealing with undergraduates torture enough? What do you want me to do. I never say no!"

TT: Of course, mum's the word on some of our athletic fundraising activities, cash payments to football players, and so on."

ABG: "You saw me testify, I can't remember a thing!"

TT: You might just be the weasel we need for this job!

[madtom]

Yeah -- would Texas PLEASE secede?

And take Oklahoma and South Carolina with them?

And -- we'll pay them to shower and use deodorant.

[traveling1]

Definitely - but let's get Yoo and Cheney and Rumsfield to move to Texas first okay, then they can secede.

[Zen0469]

Splendid suggestion.
