Tiahrt aide resigns to take post as...

...manager of the Holiday Inn Express in Andover. Chuck Knabb, communication director for Rep. Todd Tiahrt is resigning to take that lofty position here.

The Hill quotes one staffer as saying

"I knew times were tough for Republicans on the Hill but looks like things might be sinking to a whole new level if these are the only options we have left...”

Daily Kos observes

the freak out amongst GOP staffers is still hilarious.

And since Republicans will have far fewer seats in Congress and will lose the White House, their job prospects will certainly look bleak. There's only so many staffers that can be picked up by wingnut welfare (the think tanks), so the rest will probably be left taking "real" jobs -- but against their will.
