Oh Jesus

150 graduates of Pat Robertson's Regent University have joined the Bush Administration. It is a FOURTH TIER law school. One of their graduates is none other than Monika Goodling, the assistant to Alberto Gonzales who is up to her neck in the US Attorney scandal and who has promised to plead the fifth if she is forced to testify to Congress.

The Boston Globe has a great article about the law school and the administration:

In a recent Regent law school newsletter, a 2004 graduate described being interviewed for a job as a trial attorney at the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division in October 2003. Asked to name the Supreme Court decision from the past 20 years with which he most disagreed, he cited Lawrence v. Texas, the ruling striking down a law against sodomy because it violated gay people's civil rights.

"When one of the interviewers agreed and said that decision in Lawrence was 'maddening,' I knew I correctly answered the question," wrote the Regent graduate . The administration hired him for the Civil Rights Division's housing section -- the only employment offer he received after graduation, he said.

The scary part is that some of these people will inevitably stick around for the next administration. If that administration is Democratic as we all hope it is hard to imagine that their #1 priority won't be trying to bring them down. People who think they have God on their side are a scary bunch.
