Almond served as adjunct professor in creative writing at Boston College for five years until publishing an open letter of resignation in The Boston Globe on May 12, 2006, in which he explained that his resignation was intended to protest the selection of Condoleezza Rice as the college's 2006 commencement guest speaker. He later appeared on the Hannity & Colmes show on Fox News to discuss his decision.

I was no fan of Bush, but this should have been a red flag.

Also, anybody who is or was a short story writer published by little presses probably isn't a good fit for Fox News.

But wait, there's more. Do a websearch for "Steve Almond Trump" and see what the guy has said and written. Things like "Donald Trump's Nihilism, And Our Imperiled National Soul" and "Mining Trump's 'Heart of Darkness'." No way would any halfway competent staffer have picked him for Ingraham's show.
