Former Bush adviser on working for Bush: Don’t want to ‘emphasize that on your resume.’
from ThinkProgress:



Former Bush adviser on working for Bush: Don’t want to ‘emphasize that on your resume.’»

In the Texas Observer today, Anthony Zurcher describes how “no one’s been rolling out the red carpet” for Bush administration officials as they return to Texas. “For every Karen Hughes who lands a highly paid consulting gig, there’s an Alberto Gonzales, who seems condemned to wander the Earth in search of gainful employment,” writes Zurcher. Former Bush pollster Matthew Dowd explains why the Bush association makes it difficult “to make a go of a political career“:

If any of Bush’s Texas crowd wants to make a go of a political career, however, they’re going to have to do it in spite of their ties to the administration and not because of them, at least in near term.

“Bush is an anchor,” Dowd said. “I don’t think you can take your experience in Washington working with the Bush administration and emphasize that on your resumé.”


After leaving the administration in disgrace, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales found it difficult to find a job. Gonzales has only been able to find work recently, providing assistance to a special master on a patent case.

1. Abu Gonzo...
Should wander the earth for the rest of his days, dressed in sackcloth and ashes and dragging an Ingolstadt Closet behind him, offering himself up as a Public Toilet Slave for all and sundry.

May he die in the most abject poverty and manner possible. That will scratch the surface of the Karmic Debt he possesses.

2. Good!
These bastards should be made to suffer for their service to the giggling Murderer.

As far as Abu Gonzales he should be gainfully employeed being passed around like a party favor for the price of a pack of smokes and a candy bar in Leavenworth.

3. Only Bush and his Fecal Midas Touch
could make working for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES a flaw on one's resumé.
