Tales from DC: The Administrator Who Could

As part of my ongoing attempt to sabotage my future, I shared a comment today wild enough that it bears repeating in this hallowed space. The conversation itself was about a Dr. Clark who is the president of a mid-sized evangelical university. The man, in his 60s, has seen his share of successes, but, quite possibly, more failures. So the conversation arose between myself and few colleagues:

Angela: Being a president requires people skills and he doesn't have any! I know he's a good businessman, but Greg, how do you think he got that job?

Greg: (pause) Because he will sleep with anybody.


Stunned silence followed. Updates will continue as I see whether I can keep my job in the country's most PC city.
