Clinton Campaign Senior Strategist Mark Penn Steps Down After Disclosure of Colombian Meeting
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.
"After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as chief strategist of the Clinton Campaign," campaign manager Maggie Williams said in a statement released Sunday. "Mark, and Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign."
Communications director Howard Wolfson and pollster Geoff Garin will direct the campaign's message and strategic efforts for the campaign going forward, Williams said.
This ALSO means that the heads of THE SHADOW PARTY, ickess and Jordan, are now running things!
Gee... Who'd a thunk it.
If this is what "Ready to lead on DAY ONE!" is, we're truly screwed if she gets elected.
NOTE TO MODS:
This is an EXCERPT from the ABC article.
Some dude who was in the IL state senate 5 years ago and has accomplished nothing is set to be the DNC nominee. But he offers to change America from the worlds greatest country into whatever.
If this is what "Ready to lead on DAY ONE!" is, we're truly screwed if she gets elected.Yup. As much as I hate and fear Obama, I almost wish he would have to guts to laugh at her publicly and say, "Look, Ms Ready On Day One, you took a sure winning hand and turned it into a hopeless loser." Then he could finish up with an SNL-style "what's that b* talking about" and have the whole country laughing at both the b* and her sycophantic supporters on SNL.
But of course he won't do it. He's cruising towards an easy victory. Why rock the boat?
But I wish he would. I'd really enjoy seeing Hill&Bill reaping the pain.
Mr. Penn was seen wearing a T-shirt that said,
“I survived the Clinton’s campaign”
I wonder why they make stories like this happen on weekends. Newspapers are irrelevant, and no one watches the ‘nightly news’ anymore. For them to air their dirty laundry on a weekend, thinking that everyone won’t see it, is just backward thinking with regard to how the world today get its news.
I hope the final check clears!
Teller had no comment.
They let him live? Wow...
In Clintonland, everyone and everything is expendable except, of course, their royal highnesses themselves.

Thought question: How do you think Hillary will handle defeat? Will she graciously bow out and congratulate BHO? Does her spite get the best of her, and we are treated to a full scale meltdown?
My guess: She holds it together long enough to make a semi-gracious exit. But... being who she is, we'll see plenty of venom over time.
BUT HE DID NOT SURVIVE MAGGIE WILLIAMS WHO WILL SINK HIL IN THE END.
This week. Next week she'll endorse it again.
"CBS Reports: Hillary Goes Britney."
Penn should just reply. “I took my lead from Bill Clinton? who is making millions working for the Buckle investment firm, a type you have repeatedly opposed and want to shut down.
I think she’ll eventually exit gracefully, and appear graceful (as graceful as a skunk-Clinton can) through the general election, during which time she and her crooked hubby will be doing EVERYTHING they can to undermine MadrassaBoy and clear the way for Clinton ‘12.
EVERYTHING now is about 2012 for the lying skank and her rapist hubby.
They will not have to clear the way for Madrass Boy. They will have to go against who ever is Mc Cains succesor.
I guess the Sword was mightier.
I agree. Maybe my post was unclear.
Here’s what I think is going to happen:
The ClintonDemons will bow out “gracefully”, and behind-the-scenes will do everything to sabatoge MadrassaBoy so that McCain will win in ‘08, thus clearing a shot for the ClintonDemons in ‘12.
They do NOT want a President MadrassaBoy. Under ANY circumstances. They hate him.
I think that those Clinton idiots will do just that!
