The Pomona College student government is considering bringing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to speak on campus. Pomona Associate Professor of Politics Heather Williams today writes an op-ed in the school’s paper, The Student Life, wondering why student funds will be used to bring this “disgraced former member of the Bush Administration” to campus:
My question to Pomona College students is this: With a host of people out there with conservative viewpoints who are articulate, smart, and willing to speak in a detailed way about their ideas or their records as public officials, why invite a man who repeatedly broke the law, shredded the ethical codes of the institutions he served, and then lied about it? Is this really going to balance your political horizons?
Gonzales will reportedly receive $40,000 to speak at the University of Florida later this month.

I guess the big colleges are out. No UCLA, USC, CAL STATE, Yale, Harvard, Princeton or Brown. What about the Columbia University crowd no takes on hearing a fired liar and the dumbest Attorney General in the History of America. Next Gonzo will be speaking at elementary schools and head-start. Yes it's all about the money. Maybe the kids can give Gonzo their milk money for a speech. He'll tell the babies to tell the truth and give me your money.
Oh, no, Jackie. Gonzo will never step foot on UCLA. Since my alma mater is UCLA, that won't happen. In additionally, Jason told me today in an email that his wife, Lisa, went to UCLA and she is against Gonzo speaking at UCLA. She would protest.
Ummm, Fitz is going to marry a Head Start teacher so Gonzo may still need to keep looking. He can be on ex-Illinois Orange Jumpsuit's appeal team.
