Klein & Weingarten: Separated at birth?
Trained as corporate lawyers.
Reached the highest positions in their organizations through appointment by the largesse of a powerful person above them.
Entered education for reasons unrelated to developing a career as a teacher.
Taught full time for only 6 months.
Run autocratic, rigid top-down, patronnage-ridden organizations top heavy with people making six figure salaries a year where personal loyalty is more important than competence.
Believe appearance is more important than reality.
Have in-house public relations staffs at great cost and pay high sums to outside PR agencies. View public relations as primary over trying to solve real problems.
Make at least a quarter of a million dollars a year plus expenses.

All true, it seems.
ReplyDeleteWhich one is which? I gotta say they both seem better-looking than the chancellor.
