75% of ex-Bush officials can't get hired!
While the market for job-seekers in the United States might be sour, for most it isn't as impenetrable as it is for the nearly 3,000 former members of the Bush administration.

Between 70-75 percent who are looking for full-time work still haven't found new jobs, according to a Saturday report by the Wall St. Journal.

7. Halliburton and Exxon only have so many positions at the company that pay 7 figures
Gonna be tough for the rest of them to find large corporations that will pay hacks 7 figures.
