Out-of-Work GOP Aides flood the streets

Who's looking for a job now?

That would be the GOP Aides who will flock to K street and think tanks to find work now that THEY'VE LOST! Ha!


RC The hundreds of Republican staffers — not to mention more than a few Members — who will lose their jobs in the next few weeks are going to face a hostile marketplace on K Street as unemployed Republicans flood the market....

Rich Gold, who runs the lobbying practice at the law firm Holland & Knight, said he has sent word out to his team that “we’re hiring for our needs, not to give people jobs who are going to need jobs.”

Another Republican lobbyist who heads a firm said he was preparing “to get inundated with résumés” and wasn’t looking forward to it.

“It’s going to put me in a very awkward position. It’s especially awkward when they’ve been helpful to us,” said this lobbyist, who has no openings at his firm.
