Fitzgerald, Gonzales to Rub Shoulders on Roundtable

By Paul Kiel - March 27, 2007, 12:17 PM

From The Chicago Tribune:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is likely to face questions about the allegedly mediocre status of U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald when he arrives here Tuesday for a scheduled round table discussion and press conference.

Gonzales is supposed to be at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse to discuss the "Project Safe Childhood" campaign designed to protect kids from online predators. But he's likely to be asked to field inquiries about Fitzgerald being ranked as undistinguished on a chart sent to the White House from the Justice Department in 2005, as well as the controversial fall firings of a group of U.S. attorneys.

We'll get you word of how that went later. Via Firedoglake.

Gonzales is so interested in protecting children from predators.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

I wonder what happened that made Gonzales leave the Air Force Academy at the end of his first year there.

serving for two years at Fort Yukon, Alaska before being accepted to the United States Air Force Academy in 1975. In 1977, he transferred to Rice University, where he was a member of Lovett College and earned a degree in political science in 1979; he never completed the remaining two years of his USAF obligation;

I've never heard of Rice University.

I thought he lasted two years at the USAFA.

I stand corrected. Robin's posting shows you're right.

I wonder how Gonzales could afford it, and I wonder how normal it is not to fulfill a 2 year obligation with USAF.

Guessing some affirmative action initiative, and he could have fagged his way out of the service back in those days.

Who knows?

Is Affirmative Action that old? This was in the late 70s. There weren't many grants back then and no student loans (I don't think).

Affirmative action derives from an executive order of LBJ's, and really got going under Nixon. Clarence Thomas was an early beneficiary of affirmative action.

There were grants, loans, student-aid, all kinds of stuff back in '65 when I started college. Of course back then you could take up to eighteen hours at any state of TX institution and pay $50 plus a few bucks in various "fees" per semester. Yes, that's per semester, not semester hour, as they charge now.

I've mentioned that my dad thought that room & board for $35/month was a royal rip-off...the deflation power of fiat currency over forty-two years is amazing.

Thanks, for some reason I wasn't aware of it until the 80s.
