Pat Robertson's Regent University Places 150 Alumni in Bush Administration
Monica Goodling, the Justice Department official who announced that she will take the Fifth Amendment rather than testify truthfully to the Congress about the fired U.S. Attorneys issue, is a graduate of the law school at Regent University. Regent University was started by Pat Robertson. According to its website 150 alumni have taken jobs with the Bush Administration. This is just one more example of the marriage between the religious right and the Bush Administration.

While not surprising, it still scares the hell out of me and brings me to my senses. I believe that Bush really thinks he did did not bring us to war , GOD did.
Regents University has apparently scrubbed from its web site any mention of the 150 graduates of their law school that they stated work for the Bush Administration. Could they be embarassed that the public now knows where Bush's advice comes from? Or maybe the info has been removed because of the Gonzalez Attorneys General scandal? Or perhaps they withdrew the info because their claim was overblown/inaccurate?
We had not heard that information. Thanks for telling us that.
Regent University corrects an inaccuracy?
As late as 6 April, 2007, Regent University's “facts” web page proudly boasted that they had:
“150 graduates serving in the Bush Administration.”
Between April 6 and April 13, the University removed that statement from their web site and, for at least several days, (April 13-16) there was no statement listed at all about any Regent U. graduates working for the Bush administration.
Sometime on April 16, a new statement appeared on their "facts" page:
"150 students have served in the Bush administration."

Apparently, not all of the 150 are still "serving" Bush, but does this statement also mean that some of the 150 "students" never actually graduated from the U?
