While the market for job-seekers in the United States might be sour, for most it isn't as impenetrable as it is for the nearly 3,000 former members of the Bush administration.

Between 70-75 percent who are looking for full-time work still haven't found new jobs, according to a Saturday report by the Wall St. Journal.

"That 'is much, much worse' than when Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton left the White House," Carlos M. Gutierrez, who served as Bush's commerce secretary, told the paper.

For many, the traditional refuge of conservative think tanks in Washington, D.C. has become a Fort Knox, with almost no positions available, and certainly not for lower-rung Bush officials.

The think tanks "lack interest in hiring high-profile Republicans when Democrats control the White House and Congress," said the Journal. "Mr. Bush's low approval ratings at the end of his term don't help, said Leonard Pfeiffer IV, a Washington recruiter for nonprofits."

In the US at-large, 6.54 million are receiving unemployment benefits, according to the Department of Labor.

"A handful of Bush cabinet officers have accepted academic appointments," reported the paper. "Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson joined Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies as a fellow. Condoleezza Rice, previously secretary of state, resumed her Stanford University roles as a political-science professor and senior fellow at its Hoover Institution think tank."

I think most people realize that anyone associated with Bush is probably a crony who isn't even qualified to run a mcdonalds, much less the government. This is a bit of comeuppance for these incompetent boobs.

Yes, I'm sure all 3,000 of those people are Bush's cronies....:roll:

Considering how a lot of us have fared under the Bush years, you can't expect people to not have a little schadenfreude about this...

It takes a lot of cronies to fuck things up as bad as Cheney did.

 

[Lanyap]

From the WSJ article:

Only 25% to 30% of ex-Bush officials seeking full-time jobs have succeeded, estimated Eric Vautour, a Washington recruiter at Russell Reynolds Associates Inc.

They don't say how he came up with his estimate. How valid does that make it?

 

[Lemon law]

At the risk of sounding vengeful, I certainly hope some ex GWB officials find gainful employment in our prisons, it may not pay even minimum wage, but someone has to stamp out license plates and show that crime does not pay. Of course some of the worst of the worst are better sent off to the Hague, but public dis service in the GWB administration is hardly a plus on anyone's resume. Even if the person in question did not commit a crime, one had to be blind to look the other way.

 

[OrByte]

I wouldn't hire Alberto Gonzalez to be a fvcking Wal-Mart door greeter.

Special place in hell for him. I don't mind sounding vengeful nor petty when it comes to AG.

John Yoo too...what has he been up to lately? enjoying the nice little political coffin he nailed himself in I hope...

 

[Zebo]

Yeah the revolving door is stuck ATM due to corp America downsizing, seeing the depression writing on the wall- 'jobs' they used to get, lobbying their 'enemies' who had the 'job' before they went to work for this Admin are simply not being refilled.

Yoo is a law professor moving between Berkeley and Chapman University.

 

[trenchfoot]

What went around is coming back around......with a vengeance.

The American people gave Bush and Co. all the rope they needed to hang themselves with and now it's so pretty to see them swinging in the breeze, albeit a few at a time, but I anticipate much more to follow. It seems that justice is taking its course from the bottom up, but that just makes it all the sweeter when the higher up's eventually start to pay their just due to the ordinary tax-paying citizens they gleefully ripped off for eight long years.

Gonzales, Rumsfeld, Bolton, Miers, et al, I hope you guys are thinking about Scooter Libby and how he got thrown under the bus by Bush your every waking moment and ponder about a fate similar to his. The investigations are building up steam and the headhunters have been set loose.

Good Luck.........NOT.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people :laugh:

I'd say, if that stat is accurate, that is a perfect example of karma.

Take a pill and chill, if you let what a lot of these wankers post here in this ridiculous forum get your panties in a wad then you are being too sensitive. I'm sure most of the Bush people will do alright as they are degreed and have job experience, it's just not the cushy jobs that other members f previous Administrations enjoyed.

 

[blackangst1]

This is one man's opinion, with no data to back it up. It sounds like a hate piece more than anything.

 

[Jumpem]

I wish all of them well and good luck in their job search. their service to the country is appreciated.

Judging by your criteria here, no one from Obama's administration will ever be employed again! And Carter's people should still be in the soup line. You left wingers really need to find another topic as "Bush bashing" is way to old.

We could easily say the same about Clinton bashing, but that continues more than 8 years after he left office.
Do the righties really expect any better than they've given?

Bush bashing will probably continue well into the next century.

 

[Kadarin]

Actually, come to think of it, if I came across a resume where someone listed a degree from Liberty University, I would almost certainly quietly put it in the reject pile. From Wikipedia:

Liberty University supports and works with Young Earth creationist organizations including Answers in Genesis. In Biology classes students are taught creationism alongside evolution and Intelligent Design theory in what the Biology department calls "an attempt to provide a balanced view of the different origins theories". A good amount of consideration is given to micro-evolution, however large scale (macro) evolution, although still taught as a theory, is rejected as fact. An additional class called Creation Studies: History of Life investigates issues of creation and evolution, and how to refute evolution.

In December 1991 Creation reported, Arlton C. Murray "excavated a dinosaur for Liberty University?s museum," which proclaimed "this dinosaur was the first of its kind in any creationist museum."

Currently, the school is looking for biology teachers with "a young-earth creationist philosophy."[4] Furthermore, the school asserts "there is now mounting evidence that man and dinosaurs did indeed live on earth at the same time" and says that "the chances are good" that there were dinosaurs on board Noah's Ark.

Hehe, yeah, right.
