Recount Rioters

Eschaton commenter Stunt Woman pointed us to this video. I'm posting it to mark the debut of HBO's Recount, which I won't be watching until it's released on video because I don't have HBO. Pay particular attention to the Bourgeoise Rioters at 2:24. Remember their faces and names, in case they ever ask you for a job or try to work in government again.



Who were they?
  1. Tom Pyle, policy analyst, office of then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.).
  2. Garry Malphrus, majority chief counsel and staff director, House Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice.
  3. Rory Cooper, political division staff member at the National Republican Congressional Committee.
  4. Kevin Smith, former House Republican conference analyst and more recently of Voter.com.
  5. Steven Brophy, former aide to Sen. Fred D. Thompson (R-Tenn.), now working at the consulting firm KPMG.
  6. Matt Schlapp, former chief of staff for Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), now on the Bush campaign staff in Austin.
  7. Roger Morse, aide to Rep. Van Hilleary (R-Tenn.).
  8. Duane Gibson, aide to Chairman Don Young (R-Alaska) of the House Resources Committee.
  9. Chuck Royal, legislative assistant to Rep. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).
  10. Layna McConkey, former legislative assistant to former Rep. Jim Ross Lightfoot (R-Iowa), now at Steelman Health Strategies
And where are they? In comments, Southern Beale points to this WaPo article which followed up on their whereabouts as of 2005. Of course, they put the riot on their résumés.
