Stumble It!
It took nearly two years, but Alberto Gonzales finally found a job teaching at Texas Tech:
Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that Gonzales will start Aug. 1, and that his salary will be around $100,000.
“Anytime I can get a former cabinet member to work for the university, I will,” Hance said. “He can teach (students) about government, about goals, about diversity. Here’s a guy whose parents were migrant workers, and he went on to one of the highest offices in the land.”
Fortunately, Mr. Gonzales will be kept away from the Texas Tech School of Law since he’s only been hired to teach political science.

Fortunately for Texas Tech’s law students, he’ll be teaching a political science course.

There are some excellent links at Mike’s post (click the link in the preceding comment). I especially like this part of the Texas Lawyer article Gonzales: “I’m Excited About the Tech Opportunity”:
[Emphasis mine.]
He’s ambivalent about not getting a firm job? Really? Even though it’s what he wanted to pursue when he left D.C. in 2007, has been pursuing for nearly 2 full years and is, admnittedly, still searching for one? For some reason, I don’t believe him. And I really hope there’s no ‘happy ending’ for AG if he ever does get a ‘firm job.’
