Oh, the irony of it all.
Kenneth Starr has quit his job as a law professor at Baylor University. You’ve heard of him, yes?
He once was a special counsel who was hired by Congress to investigate a real estate deal involving President Clinton and his wife, Hillary Clinton. Then the investigation turned into something quite different. He began sniffing around about allegations of an affair between the president and a young White House intern.
His investigation resulted in the impeachment of the president on grounds that he lied under oath about the affair to a federal grand jury. The Senate acquitted Clinton.
Starr moved on, first to Pepperdine University and then to Baylor.
But … while he served as president of Baylor, the university got caught up — wait for it! — in a sex scandal involving star football players. The school was accused of covering up some serious misbehavior.
It all happened on Starr’s watch.
The head football coach was fired. The athletic director quit. Starr was demoted from president to chancellor. He kept his classroom job.
Now he’s quit the professor post, severing his ties with the university.
Do you get the irony? Sex propelled Ken Starr to a form of political stardom and sex has caused his fall from grace at a major Texas university.
As the saying goes: Karma’s a bitch, man.
