Oh To Be Mark Penn, Senior Strategist For Hillary Clinton

3:38 am EST February 12th, 2008 | News | 7 Comments

At 2:30 he writes one of his memos telling markpenn.jpgus a bunch of stuff that he’s just positive would make Sen. Obama weaker against John McCain. Remember this is the guy who asked “where’s the bounce” about 10 mins before the bounce manifested. And then, he runs off 4 1/2 hours later to do a book signing. The day before his candidate competes in three primary elections after losing five.

For this he has been paid something like $5.8 million so far.

Where can I sign up to be one of these Democratic consultants? They seem to have no accountability, great hours, and spectacular pay.

UPDATE: Mark Penn no longer believes in polls (when they’re not going his way). He’s selling a book all about how to interpret polls and focus groups. Is he a graduate of the Dick Morris school of political strategy?

    $5.8 million? Good god, where can I get a job like that? I’m sure I can’t be any more incompetent than he seems to be at his job.

    If he is worth $5.8 million, than my slogan of:

    McCain…
    More of the Same

    Should be worth at least $1 million.

    Penn is to campaigning what Rice is to statecraft?

    The world abounds with people who are getting paid huge for their incompetence and dishonesty.

    Unfortunately, saddled as I am with ethics and a conscience, I can’t participate. Even an atheist such as myself understands the concept of selling one’s soul in return for money.

    Unbelievable.

    He and “Dick” Morris are like peas in apod.

    Wonder if he likes to suck on hookers’ toes too?

    This guy should have been out on his ass after South Carolina for what he’s done to the Clintons’ public image, to their campaign warchest, and just for how incompetent he is at reading poll results.

    I don’t know that anyone can be 10 times as incompetent as Mark Penn but I could be equally incompetent for a tenth of the price. Mark Penn should have his ass in Arlington or Prince William County RIGHT NOW. New York is long since done and he should be on the clock. Unless he has been fired, to be announced tomorrow.

    Fixed.

    Kind of like the Bobs from Office Space. “We don’t actually DO what needs to be done. We just tell you what needs to be done.”

    Penn may be a mole, an Obama operative. Would explain the results. Along the lines of the bush administration, now known to be only a ruse by conspiring progressives to get the people to hate conservatism for years to come.
