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."
