  1. Competition is fierce lately, but this dude is on the list for the Wonkville Asshole of the Week award.

    1. "(A) bill he is sponsoring which would limit the number of liberal professors that state universities could hire."

      Really…so who's going to conduct the survey? If you're a math professor and a screaming liberal (as many are) do you count against the total? How about civil engineering? Everybody knows they're all tree-huggers, right?

  2. I had a really good political science professor when I was at the community college- he wasn't liberal, but he also wasn't a jerk.

  3. “This was not an attempt to inflate anything,” he remarked. “I didn’t concern myself about this, honestly.”

    No doubt!

    Edit: no wonder he's an expert on what kinds of professors a university should have. Perhaps he should visit a university some day.

    1. Oh Chelgreen's been at a university campus:

      The Senate Republicans’ website states that the lawmaker “attended the University of California at Riverside majoring in astro-physics, geo-physics and mathematics.” Chelgren said that he attended the school for three years but did not receive a degree. But University spokesman John Warren told NBC News that there was only a record of him attending for one year, from 1992 to 1993.

      1. Does playing video games in the student center count? I say- yes!

        Pretty funny, majoring in fancy, difficult and esoteric was something he couldn't handle. Boo hoo.

        1. I spent about 20 minutes in the admissions office at Skyline College once, so that's got to be roughly equivalent to an AA, by my estimation.

  4. As an alumnus of Yum! University! (Bachelor of Fried Arts, 2011, Yumma! Yum! Loudly! ) I must seriously object to this clown's presumption of attending a legitimate school of higher burning!

  5. Chelgren’s Senate File 288 would require that state universities determine the party affiliation of professors and then implement a hiring freeze until there are no more than 10 percent more Democrats than Republicans or vice versa.

    Chelgren has said that he based the bill on his own experiences with “liberal professors.”

    Sizzlers is overrun by liberals now? Thanks for the update!
