Hey, we could also all WRITE letters of recommendation for Bill Smith. Somethings the fingers type faster than the brain can think or spell.

Hey, we could all right Bill Smith letters of recommendation just to get him out of this area

I’m also worried about Bill Smith. Think about it…your life long ambition to be a community college president gets put on hold because political favors weren’t enough to get him appointed. I feel so sorry for Bill. Now he’ll have to wait to work his magic at MCC…I bet the wait is killing him. Poor guy.

Yeah, but did you see the job description and requirements. Alas, another community college that would reject this self-impressed Yale grad.

For example, the first line in the job description requires that he act in accordance with standards. That probably rules out political whores. And the qualifications require someone who is willing to fully intergrate himself with the citizens living in the community. Strike two. An inclusive leader, a strong, experience academic leader - strikes three and four, he’s way out. Darn. Can’t even get a job in some small, agricultural college. Hey Bill, better give up that life’s dream.

I had another wicked thought. What if Ted Nixon applied to be president of MCC??

I have a great solution to the Bill Smith problem. It’s a win-win situation for Smith and the people of Monroe County. Smith gets to be president of MCC and we don’t have to deal with him anymore.

I wonder if he displayed such contempt for MCC when he applied. Good thing Harvard educated Lori Van Dusen saw him for what he was and his party for what they were doing.

Yeah Bitter Bill is all about entitlements - his entitlements.

Bitter Bill almost sounds like he feels he has a “right” to get selected as MCC Prez

I’m staggered by the stupidity of Bill Smith’s quote. It’s crazy to compare getting into a college with being president of one plus this shows contempt for MCC. This should seriously hurt his chances of being president. It’s really a big gaffe on his part.
