WASHINGTON -- Former Sen. George Allen will give talks on college campuses, write op-ed pieces and promote the ideas of President Ronald Reagan for a conservative political group.

The 55-year-old Virginia Republican is joining the Herndon-based Young America's Foundation as its Reagan Ranch Presidential Scholar for 18 months, the foundation said yesterday. The post is a part-time job. The foundation would not say what Allen will be paid.

A few other nuggets from the RTD article:

The job will not be exclusive, Allen said, alluding to unnamed opportunities that he said he would reveal when the right time comes.

Kate Obenshain Griffin sits on the board of the Young America's Foundation. *** She served as Allen's Senate chief of staff after his re-election defeat.

Allen's work will include doing a monthly radio show . . . I do hope it's a call-in show.

Wonkette offered this observation:

The Young America's Foundation refused to embarrass Allen by revealing his paltry salary, and did not indicate whether he'd be receiving dental benefits. The job will "allow him a platform for staying visible if he chooses to run for office again," wrote a newspaper reporter who is either delusional or very sarcastic.
