Tough job market for Bush appointees
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Many of the soon-to-be laid-off political
appointees of U.S. President George Bush are scrambling to find new jobs,
Republican Party veterans say.
The Washington Post (NYSE:WPO) reported Monday high-ranking Bush White
House political operatives have inundated Washington job-hunting
specialists with pleas for help at a time when corporations and non-profit
organizations have stopped hiring. And lobbying firms, once a sure source
of employment for Republican job-seekers, have trimmed their golden
parachutes, the newspaper said.
"For Republicans, the inn is full," veteran GOP operative Ron Kaufman told
the Post. "You have lots of folks in the House and Senate on the streets
and 3,000 administration appointees on the streets at a time when the job
market is shrinking anyways. It's just not a fun time."
Political appointees who have remained through the final days of the Bush
administration are facing a collapsed job market, the newspaper said.
"It's a bear market out there, no question, for Republicans leaving the
Hill or the administration," said Tom Korologos, a longtime Republican
adviser. "In this political business, you live by the sword and die by the
sword."
