Gonzo gets a job

(snip)

Yes, just imagine the rich perspective of the executive branch he'll be giving his students: I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall ...

The ranks of the nation's unemployed have dropped by one.

As we had noted earlier in this space, at least one former Attorney General had been having trouble finding work in the legal profession. Now, the Austin American-Statesman tells us that Alberto Gonzales has landed a job teaching political science and recruiting minority students at Texas Tech University. Okay, so his dream of being baseball commissioner didn't work out. And there are those--not me, of course--who don't exactly consider the birthplace of Buddy Holly to be a garden spot. (Mac Davis once had a hit song that included the lyric: "Happiness is Lubbock, Texas, in my rear view mirror.") Still, a paycheck is a paycheck. And Texas Tech sounds thrilled at their big-name hire:

Kent Hance, Texas Tech's chancellor, was quoted saying: “I am excited that Alberto Gonzales is bringing his experience to Texas Tech. 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. He will help Texas Tech and ASU prepare our students for success and to be future leaders in the state of Texas and beyond.”

3. I find this disgusting. TX Tech's chancellor sounds like an idiot. I wonder
if he ever watched the news in the past 8 years? Pathetic.

4. Recognize the name of the chancellor?
The former Democrat Kent Hance who then joined the dark side.
