No Job Security In Politics
A Young Republican laments his new found unemployment status after being promised a job by "Speaker-elect" Jason Mumpower.
The reason I was in attendance is because I was set to be a research analyst for the Legislature, conditional upon a Mumpower election as speaker. I have been interviewing since November, and was finally offered the job on Saturday. Now, as a result of your election, I must begin searching for jobs again. Let me thank you for that.
Of course, one wonders what might've happened if Mumps, et al, swallowed their pride and welcomed their new Republican Speaker after they so publicly got pwned. Perhaps he would've been amenable to voting for the intended GOP Speaker Pro Tem, or hiring on some of he staffers who had been promised jobs by Mr. Mumpower. But, they didn't...instead, they booed, hissed, and threw temper tantrums, thus leaving Speaker Williams with little reason to work with the House Majority Leader.
Best o' luck to Young Goopers like Robert Martin, as well as the plethora of Democratic and Republican political operatives who have been hard up to find a job over the past few weeks and months.

Yes, best of luck. It's too bad, but, really, I doubt this fella would have been in good stead had Mumpower and the gang cozied up to Williams. It seems apparent that one of the prime (not the only one certainly) motivations for this was the preservation of the jobs for the numerous Democratic staffers. So there wouldn't have been a slot for him anyway, mostlikely
I know operatives would be let go -- that's fair, but I was told Mumpower planed to get rid of EVERYBODY...even clerical/adminstrative staff. Since when did clerical staff become a threat? Not even Ron Ramsey went that far.
There will likely be hundreds more people being laid off from state jobs in the months ahead. I won't cry for this little fella.
Eggs, chickens seems to apply.
Jason Mumpower is a dirty sumbitch! He can use all the flags he ordered as dust covers for his comic book collection.

Ron Ramsey is a regular sumbitch.
