Declares Most Questions 'Off Limits'
Gary A. Condit, no longer a congressman but seemingly still embattled, bombed out in his first foray into the post-congressional job market today during a disasterous interview for a video clerk's position at a Modesto, California Blockbuster Video store.
The interview reportedly got off to a poor start when Donny, the store manager, asked Condit if he had ever worked in a video store before.
"Now, you know I'm not going to answer questions about that," Condit is reported to have replied.
Thrown off balance by Condit's evasive response, the manager went on to the next question on his list, which pertained to whether or not Condit had a car with which to drive himself to work.
"I've been married thirty-four years," came Condit's puzzling answer. "I'm not a perfect person. I've made my share of mistakes."
Donny, the store manager, called the encounter with Condit "Spooky."
"No way would I hire that freak," he said. "He gave me a bad case of the willies."
Later that day, Condit reportedly had a job interview at a Modesto area Olive Garden restaurant for an open dishwasher's position.
As in the case of Blockbuster, Condit's interview with the Olive Garden did not go well at all, according to the restaurant manager, Karl, who conducted the interview.
"When you ask somebody if they've ever washed dishes before, you really don't expect them to say, "That's none of your damn business," Karl said.
