Addington can’t find a job.
Addington can’t find a job.
Former officials of the Bush administration have had a notoriously hard time finding work. In February, the Wall Street Journal reported that “only 25% to 30% of ex-Bush officials seeking full-time jobs have succeeded.” The New York Times reports today that one of the down on his luck Bushies is top Cheney aide David Addington:
David S. Addington, a top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney who was a forceful voice in internal legal debates, is also said to still be looking for work. The former Pentagon general counsel William Haynes II had been nominated by Mr. Bush for an appeals court judgeship, but was blocked because of his role in detention policies.
The Times suggests that the inability of Addington and other Bush lawyers to find work is a “likely consequence” of the fact that they “blessed conduct that most mainstream legal scholars contend was, in fact, illegal.”

That, and they are getting a dose of their own greedy Conservative policies…
March 9th, 2009 at 10:00 amThis traitor should first be disbarred from practicing law. Secondly he should be fitted for an orange jumpsuit. Then he can have his lifetime gubmit paid healthcare stripped. Maybe he can learn a new trade in prison. Are their any odds out their yet as to whether any former Bushies might convert to Islam while in prison?
March 9th, 2009 at 10:00 amWell, well, well… do I detect “the invisible hand of the marketplace’ at work here?
A perp walk would be more satisfying, but this is a a start.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:05 amYou know it’s a tough economy when one of the great war criminals of our generation can’t get work.

Perhaps, ROS, but I think it would me more accurate to call this the “middle finger of the market place” at work here, directed towards the job seeking criminal element.
Liberty University may need a janitor. Addington should check it out.

March 9th, 2009 at 10:14 amIs the wing-nut welfare FINALLY drying up?
March 9th, 2009 at 10:15 amThe new Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood is looking for delivery drivers — maybe I’ll give them Addington’s name…
Then again, that might adversely affect the local economy in my area…
March 9th, 2009 at 10:17 amThey can just join the rest of us struggling in this crappy economy that his bosses created. Welcome to our world, Mr. Addington.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:18 amWell, well, well… do I detect “the invisible hand of the marketplace’ at work here?
The invisible hand of Karma would be more appropriate. One where the likes of Addington end up jobless, then homeless, and then thrown in jail to share a cell with Straight Tony.
Just saying this would be Karmic for a Bushie.

Tee hee… well… I didn’t specify exactly what part of that hand was at work… perhaps it’s the entire “knuckle sandwich of the marketplace”…
Poor, poor David…

March 9th, 2009 at 10:19 amSlightly o/t but there is an effort underway to have fellow Bush lawyer/apologizer/torture approver Jay Bybee impeached. He was appointed to a federal judgeship(lifetime appointment) position by Bush. Although he was confirmed by the Senate at the time, the recent release of memos from the Office of Legal Council shine a harsh light on Bybees involvement on behalf of the Bush Administration to undermine our Constitution and approve illegal activities.

Although I feel prison sentences are warrented for all of the Bushco legal flunkies, I would be happy to see disbarments of them across the board from Bush’s Attorneys General to his and Cheney’s legal councils as a start.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:23 amWhat I want to know is when will he and Yoo and the rest of their clan be disbarred?
March 9th, 2009 at 10:24 amAddington can get a job- making license plates IN PRISON!
Good morning, campers
March 9th, 2009 at 10:27 amIs there info on who has hired all the major bushies? I want to keep track if possible — and put all these companies on my “no fly” zone.

Disbarred is the least of it. Unless you feel punishment for war crimes should be more or less equivalent to fibbing about a hummer…
Nope, impeachment for Bybee – as mentioned above – and criminal investigations for all concerned.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:29 amI know a hog farmer who needs someone to help with cleaning up after the sows.

Yes! I think that one covers all bases.
And Lord knows, there’s plenty of us here with waiting and willing “knuckle sandwiches” to take over the pummeling should the “market place” need a breather.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:35 amMaybe he can get a job washing dishes in prison to earn some cigarette money. Don’t forget that soap on a rope, Davie.
PEACE
March 9th, 2009 at 10:35 amIt’s always tough for an ex-con to find work.

I laugh in your war-criminal FACE, David Addington. Shave the beard. Maybe no one will recognize you…

March 9th, 2009 at 10:38 amJUSTICE AND KARMA UNITED!
March 9th, 2009 at 10:44 amWatch, he’ll get a tenured professorship at Oral Robers school of fauxlaw.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:44 amNot much demand for a Sith apprentice in today’s market. I am surprised he isn’t teaching ethics at Regent Law School, perhaps along with Monica Goodling. Somebody has to warp the next generation of wingnut lawyers.

March 9th, 2009 at 10:45 amBoo Hoo.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:48 amWacky lawyers working for a wacky mis-administration tends to type cast them and their skills.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:55 amDoes Fox News have a hiring freeze?
March 9th, 2009 at 11:06 amIsn’t the neocon machine paying people to write books and then buying up all the books anymore?
March 9th, 2009 at 11:08 am“dear mr. addington,
at the present time our company
does not have anyone it wishes to torture
or illegally imprison. therefore there are no
openings for a person of your qualifications.
we’ll keep your resumé on file for the next
three months. in the meantime we wish you
good luck in your search.”

March 9th, 2009 at 11:08 amWhy is Ashcroft never mentioned in connection with the torture memos? Wasn’t he in charge of the justice department from which they flowed?
March 9th, 2009 at 11:13 amjudyinnm- Yes, ssshhhhhhhh
March 9th, 2009 at 11:19 amWell, even though Ashcroft ran the shop, I’ve always given him a smidgen of credit for refusing to sign off on warrantless wiretapping when Abu G approached him in his hospital bed. True, he simply passed the buck to Comey, but he knew Comey wouldn’t sign off. It seemed like a rare moment of integrity to me.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:20 amDoes Addington really need a job. As Cheney’s closest confidante it would seem likely he shared in the no bid contract bonanza of the Iraq war.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:29 amAddington is a War Criminal and a Traitor to the Constitution of the United States. He should be indicted and prosecuted immediatly! F*##ck you Addington! I hope you rotten in hell!
March 9th, 2009 at 11:38 amAddington, move to Israel!
March 9th, 2009 at 11:40 amWhat, suddenly there’s a shortage of tin pot third world dictators, in need of a mouthpiece?
Try Mugabe. But don’t expect the same wages as you were getting during your salad days as a torture justifier.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:45 amAddington, I think the Pentagon building is high enough. Go there and Jump! The world would be a much better place without a scumbag like you moving around.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:47 amI guess his views on the unaccountable vice presidency didn’t make him any friends, either
March 9th, 2009 at 11:47 amI love justice……
March 9th, 2009 at 11:49 amI was thinking “picking up garbage along side of highways”. Added bonus: Free uniforms provided.
Cheers,
March 9th, 2009 at 11:59 amWell, does he HAVE to work?
My guess is he’s STILL a millionaire, as are ALL of Bush cronies!
March 9th, 2009 at 12:03 pmO.T., but, slightly related, Texas is in the throes of a major drought and is also suffering from major wildfires. All of this since W. moved back to Dallas. New headlines in the World Weekly News: HELL HAS BEEN DISCOVERED IN THE LONE STAR STATE!! BUSH SITS ON SATAN’S THRONE!
March 9th, 2009 at 12:03 pmIt’s hard for criminals to find work.

For which of these job titles, Mr. Addington, do you best qualify? Lawyer? but didn’t you get disbarred? Doctor? but don’t you have to take the Hippocratic oath “first, do no harm”? Rich man? but didn’t your cohorts disembowel the economy? Merchant? see economy. Chief? of what?
Let’s see: what does that leave?
March 9th, 2009 at 12:27 pmCan one of his friends from PNAC get him a job?
March 9th, 2009 at 1:11 pmMaybe there is some justice after all. Addington thought he was untouchable because of his relationship with Darth Cheney.
What goes around does come around :)
March 9th, 2009 at 2:43 pmUnfortunately, once faced with the necessity of putting some food on the table, these scum will go to their former bosses and tell a sad tale of how they’re being discriminated against, and walk away with fellowships at the American Enterprise Institute or one of the other right wing think tanks.
Last I heard, that’s where wolfowitz is now.
My vote is to bypass the “truth commission” stage and to move directly to the gallows for the lot of ‘em.
Maybe when more Americans come up with that problem of having no food to put on the table, and their children look up with hungry eyes wondering why daddy’s sad all the time? we’ll start hearing more about holding the people responsible for turning the economy, and our manufacturing base, and our Constitution out to dry actually to account for their crimes and experience the penalty for having destroyed my country.
March 9th, 2009 at 2:51 pmSo, Addington is unemployed. He wasn’t the chosen person by Bush to land a cushy job. Yet, Fred Fielding, Bush’s WH counsel, Andrew Card, Michael Mukasey, and Harriet Miers are doing fine. Addington joins Gonzo on the unemployment line. Bummer. It’s hard out there for a GOP pimp.
March 9th, 2009 at 2:54 pmMr. Addington thought he could simply move forward filling his coffers after spending eight years filling coffins.
The long game of battleship is over, Addy. I witnessed your demeanor before congress; your arrogance, your evasiveness, your caveman mentality, and you don’t belong in any workplace.
March 9th, 2009 at 3:10 pmQuestion: Is David Addington one of the most arrogant Zionists in America? What level of treachery would you rate him at?
Discuss, please.
March 9th, 2009 at 3:12 pmGood. I only hope he never does. I want to see all of Bush’s lawyers in jail or on the bread line. Preferably in jail.
March 9th, 2009 at 6:35 pmKarma. It’s called karma.
March 9th, 2009 at 6:47 pmCheney’s Number 1 Son of a b i t c h, David Addington…maybe you should have tried reading the Constitution before trying to destroy. How in the hell do these bastards like Addington and Gonzales make it through law school? Where do these a$$holes get their degree anyway, on the back of a match book or some right wing sanctamonious hypocrite College Of Republicans?
March 9th, 2009 at 7:45 pmHah, I bet if those ex-bush officials checked went to http://www.jobaphiles.com, they could have pushed up their re-employment rate. Everyone’s got to start their job search from somewhere.
