Three months after the bruising November election, thousands of Democrats - mostly ex-campaign staffers and out-of-work congressional aides - are still searching for jobs.

Well, well, well. Just cry me a river of tears. What were these people doing BEFORE the "bruising November election"? Sucking on the government's nipple would be my bet.

Andrew Poag, 26, was communications director in West Virginia for America Coming Together, one of the many groups that tried to get out the vote in November for Kerry. His job ended Nov. 15.

Guess he didn't a very good job to get out the vote for Kerry. His job wasn't a job after all. What was he thinking?? This "job" was going to continue after the election??? DUH!!

Cry me a river full of tears ping.....

The Democrats are the party of the elitists and the government employees, not the working people.

>You mean the private sector has no use for them?<

They lie, cheat and steal for a living. Who would want to hire them?

Well, let's see... Union Organizations, The Mafia, The MSM,...

You get the point...

"It's worse now than two years ago. There are just fewer jobs."

Fewer jobs for DEMOCRATS, that is.

When you have to, you take ANY job. Of course these socialists think the country OWES them a living.

"This is what we do. We can't imagine doing anything else."

These people have no idea how funny they are! I suspect there will be a spike in law school applications.

I read this article or one extremely similar about a month age.

After I read this, I heard, one of those things heard only once, that many of out-of-boss congressional staffers were being absorbed into existing congressional and senatorial staffs. When whatever committee meets to allocate the budget for each office, the Republican proportion should have gone up, and the Dem proportion gone down by the same amount. The Dems would not agree to the downsizing of their budgets.

I did not get amy more details of how that was resolved, but would bet that the Dems beat the Rs in the final budget resolution.

said Pritchard, 38, who moved to Washington to work for Michael Dukakis, the former Massachusetts governor who ran for president in 1988.

The glorious misadventures of a misspent youth.

Nah, the mob is pretty conservative and patriotic...back in WW2 Lucky Luciano helped keep the docks on the East Coast sabotage-free and he and Vito Genovese helped US Army Intel in the invasion of Sicily.

COBRA isn't free, so I guess they didn't feel like using their "savings" to pay for it.

Let me see, I couldn't find a job in IT, so I worked at a call center, hardware store, convenience store and a print shop.

I did whatever it took to make a few bucks. During that 2.5 year period, even though I qualified for unemployment, I collected a total of 8 weeks worth.

My point being, a job is a job, even if it is outside your so-called profession.
