Clooney takes up teaching post
By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com ReporterOne-time 4th Congressional District candidate and journalist Nick Clooney is headed to a teaching post at American University, in Washington, D.C.
Clooney will be the "distinguished journalist in residence" at American, as part of a coordinated effort between the school and Washington's Newseum.
Clooney worked as a newspaper columnist, a news anchor and a host on the American Movie Classics cable channel. At American, he will teach a course in "Opinion Writing" as well as a class on film.
In 2004, Clooney ran as a Democrat in an open seat race in the 4th District, losing to now-U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Hebron) by ten points.
