    • Mark Penn's Wife Feeding At The Democratic Trough

      Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post

      Those who questioned the propriety of Clinton's decision to appoint as chief campaign strategist Penn, CEO of Burson Marsteller -- the premier public relations and lobbying shop in Washington -- have received further confirmation of their jaundiced views: the announcement that Burson Marsteller has signed up former Bush communications honcho Karen Hughes as Global Vice Chair. In doing so, Penn is further extending the long and proud tradition in the nation's capitol of bipartisan profiteering.

      Penn out as Clinton senior strategist

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      Mark Penn, the pollster and senior strategist for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid, left the campaign Sunday after it was disclosed he met with representatives of the Colombian government to help promote a free trade agreement Clinton opposes.

    • Comment is free: Will Clinton spoil the party?

      Posted by Jeff from commentisfree.guardian.co.uk

      This is the first time in my memory that a major candidate in a primary has said that the other party's nominee would be a better president than his or her own primary opponent. We also had the outpouring of negative advertising from her campaign that both candidates had largely managed to avoid up to this point.

    What was Mark Penn – college Republican and uber-lobbyist to the most evil corporations doing the most dastardly things ever doing in a Democratic campaign for the Presidency? Unless, Clinton’s more of a Coporatist than a Democrat.

    Why Hillary Clinton's campaign creeps me out

    I for one have no doubt that it was Hilary who masterminded Whitewater and that it indeed was a criminal offense, but then McCain is no better in his sidewinder dealings with the Dine People and the cover up of the dumping of millions of gallons of water into the Colorado River by a company that he has major interest in.

    It becomes obvious why so much corruption goes unpunished if we have a real perspective of what is truly happening.

    Here is a report by TRAC which will lend some understanding to the problem.

    But any question of Hillary’s ethics, associations, or inconsistent stances by Obama and his campaign is met with a raft of op. ed. blogs by Hillary’s supporters caling him “smarmy” etcetera – as if to suggest that calling attention to poor judgment is far more an affront to the population than displaying it in the first place.

    [sarcasm]Obviously legal and moral constructions of society must be backwards in their application. We should be shunning the people who raise attention to corporate misbehaviour, not punishing and even jailing the perpetrators.[/sarcasm]
