The rescinded offer for liberal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky to be the founding dean of UC Irvine's law school has been quite the cause celebre during the past week. I don't want to wax too much on the issues -- here's a bunch of links that do -- but did want to make note of what LA County Supervisor Mike Antonovich, who had sent an e-mail to two dozen Orange County folk urging them to oppose Chemerinsky, told the Associated Press:
Making Chemerinsky the head of the law school "would be like appointing al-Qaida in charge of homeland security."Frankly, I don't see the resemblance.
* Updated: Chemerinsky gets the job back.

i mean where else will you have such ironic talk about upholding our freedoms and suppressing them in the same breath?
Only in Orange County :)
