The last election put many Republicans out of work. As difficult as it
is to feel sorry for Bob Schaffer, Tom Tancredo, Wayne Allard and
Marilyn Musgrave, it’s even more difficult to imagine them dusting
off their resumes and seeking gainful employment in this brutal new

vouchers, guns and gays. They’re all going to be in for quite a shock
to find that jobs in the real world are based on “productivity,” and
demand employees to “actually do something.”

employable, and none of us wants to see them laying around on their
backsides, collecting government checks. The trick is just to match
each of their unique skill sets with the right new job. — Kenny Be
