History of one degradation: Paul Goble

I was looking through a biography of Mr. Paul Goble at Wikipedia - what a background, what a career! University of Chicago, special adviser to Secretary of State James Baker, CIA, Radio Liberty...

And now? "Publications Advisor" at Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy, prime lobbyist for the current authoritarian government of Azerbaijan, analyst and academician for hire...

Mr. Goble, with such interesting career, haven't you made a smallest fortune to live quietly in retirement?

What a degradation, really!
