Alberto Gonzales, former U.S. attorney general, expected to teach at Texas Tech University

Alberto Gonzales, who resigned as the Bush administration’s embattled attorney general nearly two years ago, has lined up a fall-semester teaching spot at Texas Tech University, the university confirmed today.

Gonzales, who was Gov. George W. Bush’s lawyer and Texas secretary of state before joining Bush in Washington, will be working in the university’s political science department, teaching a “special topics” course on contemporary issues in the executive branch, according to Dora Rodriguez, a senior business assistant in the department.

I’m trying to reach Gonzales as well.

He recently told The Houston Chronicle that he wanted to re-settle in Houston or Austin and work on a book recapping his ups and downs by Bush’s side. “You serve and you move on,” he’s quoted saying here.

He also disputed reports he was having a hard time finding work, saying he’s working as a consultant, giving speeches and doing arbitration work as a lawyer. He said then that his dream job would be baseball commissioner.

- You know, it seems to me that teaching would be a poor choice of profession for someone who can't seem to remember a damn thing.....

1. torture classes? how to break the law and subvert the constitution without repercussions?

8. Or....

2. It's disgraceful for a university to give him a job. NT

NT

[rurallib]

14. disgraceful that John Yoo has a job also.

[Eric J in MN]

23. Ideally, John Yoo would be in prison, but...

...it's not UC Berkely's fault that he's teaching there.

He got tenure before he promoted torture.

3. I didn't know they had Waterboarding 101 at TTU

[SoxFan]

4. Scums Up!

[DebbieCDC]

5. Sounds to me like someone "created" a job for Gonzo

To get him off the street as it were.

It was getting embarassing that this hack couldn't find a job, so my guess is so rich alumni or Bushco apologist put up some dough to give Gonzo a job for a couple of semesters.

Maybe they'll do the same for the governor formerlly known as Moosebreath.

[DeSwiss]

9. And most likely either bibery or torture was used....

...possibly both.

[gleaner]

19. Or maybe....

the entire college administration was water boarded until they consented to take the Torturer off the mean streets of anywhere and keep him out of sight so he wouldn't develop the same Palinistic tendency to run off at the mouth that Sarah has.

This is disgusting. His butt should be warming a bench somewhere in prison, as should everyone who participated in the politics of torture, euphemisms for torture, justifying torture and continuing to justify torture.

6. Perhaps he'll help to demonstrate waterboarding to his classes

You know which part of the demo he gets...

[YOY]

7. I wonder if he would accept a "I do not recall" on his tests.

He seems to think that answer works fine everywhere.

[peace frog]

12. Beat me to it!

GMTA.

[YOY]

15. Seriously, I'd like to see him fail a student for it.

I think we may actually see that.

[jobycom]

10. LOL! TECH???? A former AG and he can't get a job at a major university?

No offense to Texas Tech, it's an excellent school, but it's not of the same name recognition or pay grade as Harvard, or even UT.

[DeSwiss]

13. And he will have the dubious distinction of having gone....

...from the pinnacle of power, to http://www.ci.lubbock.tx.us/">Lubbock.

- Within the same lifetime.....

16. Gonzalez takes the 'science' out of 'political science'

The department will be renamed the "Political Fantasy" department while Gonzalez is on staff.

17. Just when you think the bar can't get any lower.

[OutNow]

18. First Bobby Knight and now this?

Can the Red Raiders sink any lower?

There is only one thing to say. Hook'em Horns!!

20. Here's hoping the proper authorities are looking at canceling TTU's accredation.

Then again, we've got fundy law schools...

[tanyev]

21. Good grief, how many of them is that now that really wanted to be baseball or football commissioner?

Did they screw up this country out of spite?

[RagAss]

22. Perfect.
