Rove-protege Tim Griffin can’t find a job.
Former U.S. attorney in Arkansas and Karl Rove-protege Tim Griffin “is using a legal search firm and sources say Griffin is touting his political connections as leverage into a white collar or government relations practice.” But he’s having some trouble:
“His timing is just bad,” says a Washington recruiter at a national search firm. “He’s a politico, not a litigator, which people just don’t care about. If you’re a U.S. attorney with no experience someone is not going to bring you on board to create or enhance a practice.”
One chairman of a national firm says his firm was contacted regarding Griffin but declined. “We got a phone call from a recruiter on his behalf but wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole,” says the chairman. “Colleagues who I trust and respect said to take a pass.”

Holy crap, that’s funny.
What goes around comes around, Timmy!
:-D
June 5th, 2007 at 8:36 pmRepeat after me, Timmy.
“Would you like fries with that?”
June 5th, 2007 at 8:38 pmCouldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
June 5th, 2007 at 8:38 pmI’ll be Claude Allen can’t find work either.
June 5th, 2007 at 8:42 pmI hope he has to resort to robbing his neighbors…
…to feed his kids…
…and gets caught…
June 5th, 2007 at 8:46 pmROFLMAO!

He probably can’t get a job at BET either. :-D
June 5th, 2007 at 8:50 pmI hope TP gets more commentary from people/firms Griffin approaches, like the ten-foot pole comment. Let’s hear what the legal profession really thinks of slime that work for Karl Rove. You have to believe that the guy will never be trusted.
Can you imagine the guy responding to your typical interview questions with the Rovian smug bravado and clueless ego?!
June 5th, 2007 at 8:51 pmTimmy’s been caged.
June 5th, 2007 at 8:57 pmPoor pitiful Tim. Paybacks muthafukah. I hope you never find a job, you weasel! Maybe then you’ll appreciate that $21 bucks a week that many poor have to rely on. You friggin’ self righteous pinhead.
June 5th, 2007 at 8:59 pmI know someone in California who can’t get laborers to pick his cherries…
June 5th, 2007 at 9:00 pmWOW! I hope this is starts a trend. If you work for a corrupt Administration it should hurts your resume, not enhance it.

Perfect!
June 5th, 2007 at 9:04 pmMaybe Ken Russell will make a sequel and name it The Lair Of The Big Fat White Worm.

Now you’re just being naughty… :D
June 5th, 2007 at 9:04 pmFunny how people dont want to hire incompetant hacks. Try googling “incompetent.” You probably wont be surprised at what the first result is.
June 5th, 2007 at 9:13 pmGood all Bush Regime toadies should never be hired & become winos.
June 5th, 2007 at 9:17 pmI guess that job with Fred Thompson’s soon-to-be campaign didn’t pan out, either.

hahahahaha!!!
Jay you’re a treasure… :-)
…”winos”…
hahahahahaha!!!!
June 5th, 2007 at 9:30 pm22…wouldn’t that be whinos?!
I loved the comment too, the other way!

…they’re ALREADY “whinos”…
June 5th, 2007 at 9:54 pmOne of the author’s of Bush’s Brain once pointed out on MSNBC (On Countdown, I think) that people who work with Rove — be they friend or foe — usually end up losing their job.
Too bad it’s not Bush who lost his job.
June 5th, 2007 at 9:58 pmMr. Griffin?
June 5th, 2007 at 9:59 pmHave you considered being a paid troll on the internet?
It requires no more skill than you’ve exhibited to date, and you can be relatively anonymous.
Sound interesting?
Good, we have a dearth of intelligent trolls here at present, and we always enjoy fresh fis…, excuse me, I mean faces.
(figuratively speaking, of course.)
May I suggest you call Mr. Rove, he can probably set you right up.
I beg your pardon?
Rove… Karl Rove…. your mentor I understand……
What? He’s not answering your calls?
Oh, well, my condolences, sir.
Your welcome, sir.
Yes, just trying to help.
Why doesnt bushit appoint him head of FEMA? Hurricane season is just starting….Im sure he can do a heckuva job with his ivy league degree and lack of experience (other than a gop whore, gopher, karlrovepegboy and loyal bushiteater)…
June 5th, 2007 at 10:02 pmWhy would Griffin need a job in prison? The sentence for each count of voter suppression would make Libby look like the lucky SOB he truly is. From what I hear, Griffin makes Rove look like your aunt Sadie. Just waiting for Conyers to issue the subpoena. Count on the usual “can’t recall” crap, but get it on the record.
June 5th, 2007 at 10:35 pmI’ll tell you his timing is bad.
Who would want to spend money hiring somebody whose only selling point is political connections to a collapsing political movement?

Wow. That’s what I’m talking about.
republic of stupidity is snarkier after 9PM than most people are all night.
June 5th, 2007 at 11:06 pmWell Tim that’s tough titties to you fish face – be thankful you stay out of jail for the crime of voter caging…
June 5th, 2007 at 11:23 pmOh, some neocon with connections to big business will find a cushy something for him. Hope not though that would be at least a small justice delivered.

June 6th, 2007 at 1:04 ami think mr. griffin might like to be spending some time with his family about now.
i wonder how they feel with his name getting so much attention.
eventually we’ll know most of the truth.
hope it’s not as bad as it looks now.
June 6th, 2007 at 1:09 amMaybe the army or marine recruiters will give him a call.
June 6th, 2007 at 5:36 amThey’re looking for a few good men.
I imagine many Bush appointees will be jobless in about 2 years. Who would hire the people responsible for killing America? Who wants to employ liars, treasonous, no holes barred for what I want, employees? NO ONE>
June 6th, 2007 at 6:54 amGo apply for trash collector Tim Griffin… that is more in line with how you act and what you are.
or is he Homeland Security material?
June 6th, 2007 at 6:55 amI wouldn’t hire an attorney who may end up in prison for his crimes.
But, don’t worry, some fat cat corporation will hire him for a huge salary as their way of thanking him for his contribution to the corruption of this country.
June 6th, 2007 at 9:57 amI sincerely hope the list of BushCo cronies has-beens continues to increase.
June 6th, 2007 at 12:25 pmGriffin spent a few minutes as a JAG in Iraq (to pad his resume, IMHO) …. a story on TPM Muckraker in Feb. ‘07 spoke to a shortage of federal employees volunteering to serve over there…
Why not volunteer to go BACK TO IRAQ, Timmeh?
June 6th, 2007 at 1:24 pmTim– welcome to the NFL.
June 6th, 2007 at 3:11 pmHe also puffed up his resume by saying that he tried a number of cases as an Army JAG. The Army post where he had served spoke up and confirmed that he tried only about four plea-bargain cases and no contested cases.
That getting around also hurts his chances at getting a “real lawyer” job.
I would be surprised if any of Bush’s Lackeys are hired by any firm. If those firms choose to hire them, they run a risk of losing business as well as credibility. I would also be surprised and shocked if many if any Republicans are re-elected as they are the ones who allowed Bush’s fiasco to grow and flourish to this point. Had the Republicans done their jobs as oversighteers, we wouldnt be where we are. I guess there was a reason why the Republicans were in the minority in years past
June 6th, 2007 at 3:55 pmYo, Timbo Bimbo – I know where you can get a job. Lots of ads to be a caregiver for those vets coming back from Irack. It’s purrfekt for you. You can lift a quadriplegic up into his chair, lift him back into bed, empty his urine bag, clean his poop up, spoonfeed him, shave him, give him a bath, now thats some good ole hard American work ethic you have there and you can have Pumpkinhead talk about you on teevee making lots of money writing about you while you take home $250/wk.
June 6th, 2007 at 8:32 pmFor the first time in my life, I may even shed a few crocodile tears.
