A Quick Thought on Derek Pillie’s Announcement

I realize Mark Souder is not the most popular guy these days but it seems like bad form to me to add his successes to your official bio without ever mentioning the guy’s name. Afterall, Souder did give Pillie a nice job, and the only reason Pillie has the name recognition he does is through his link to former Congressman Souder. This willful omission makes the bio an awkward read…

Derek A. Pillie, 34 (born June 9, 1976), has worked on behalf of the citizens of northern Indiana for nearly a decade. Since 2000, Derek has served on the staff of Indiana’s Third Congressional District, most recently as District Director. In that role, he oversees Indiana operations of the office, including constituent outreach and helping taxpayers solve problems with federal agencies.

    Ah, the ruling class….watching over us, the great unwashed. I’m surprised his statement did not mention he’s “doing it for the children”.

    That’s hilarious. When you have to leave your boss’s name off of your resume, you may have a problem.
