err... Harvard is not Liberty U. Not even close.
But the choices from Harvard were people with credentials and
established careers, Paul, not people that had just graduated, as is the
case with Liberty U's hirings.

I probably should have said Regent University, but you get the idea.
Monica Goodling was one of their star alumnae.
"A Regent web page stated 150 graduates have served in the George W.
Bush administration.[11] Boston Globe journalist Charlie Savage, noting
that previously it was rare for Regent graduates to join the government,
has suggested that the appointment of Office of Personnel Management
director Kay Coles James, formerly dean of Regent's government school,
caused this sharp increase in Regent alumni employed in the
government.[3] Savage used Regent as an example of the Bush
administration hiring applicants with strong conservative credentials
but weaker academic qualifications and less civil rights experience than
past candidates in the Civil Rights Division.[3][12]
Similar assertions have been made by editorial columnists Dahlia
Lithwick of the Washington Post,[13] Paul Krugman of the New York
Times[14] and Andrew Cohen of CBS News.[15] Savage illustrated the
increased politicization in the Justice Department's hiring practices
with the example of a Regent graduate who stated he may have obtained a
job after telling his interviewer that Lawrence v. Texas, the ruling
striking down an anti-sodomy law, was the Supreme Court decision from
the last 20 years with which he disagreed most.[3] However, Savage also
suggested that the school had improved since its days of "dismal
numbers," quoting a prominent critic of the school, Reverend Barry Lynn,
who advised against "underestimat[ing] the quality of a lot of the
people that are there," and noting the school's recent wins in national
moot-court and negotiation competitions.[3][16]
On May 23rd 2007, alumna Monica Goodling testified at the House
Judiciary Committee under a grant of immunity and admitted using
political affiliation as a determinant for hiring career posts at the
Department of Justice.[17] Her testimony has been referred to as
"lamentable."[18]"

This goes beyond incompetence and reaches towards downright
lunacy.
What credentials could she possibly have had for that appointment?
