More Wingnut Welfare: Rummy Goes to Stanford

Barf:

Rumsfeld’s experience will assist the Hoover Institution’s research into terrorism, said institute director John Raisian.
“I have asked Don to join the distinguished group of scholars that will pursue new insights on the direction of thinking that the United States might consider going forward,” said Raisian.

This is the most perfect example of why I’m not sorry not to be in my former biz. Any institution that willingly associates itself with the creator of “how many vases can there be” and “unknown unknowns” should have its accreditation revoked. Not that I should talk, I know lots of “good” and “serious” and “scholarly” schools do this, but still. He’s going to do “research” because he’s got so much “experience.” With failure? Lying? Murder? Is that what “scholarship” is about these days?

Academics everywhere should hang their heads in shame. This is a new low. Even for the leeches/subs for the uberwealthy calling themselves “universities.”
