Some former members of Congress who lost in 2008 have yet to find new full-time jobs

(WASHINGTON) They're out of Congress and still out of work.

A handful of incumbents who lost last fall have yet to land new full-time jobs.

They include former Reps. Christopher Shays of Connecticut, Thelma Drake of Virginia and Nick Lampson of Texas. There's also former New Hampshire Sen. John E. Sununu, whose latest Washington assignment is only part-time.

A former top Bush administration official, too, has had trouble finding work. Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned under fire in September 2007.
