Turton was born in Bangor, Maine, but grew up mostly in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. He moved back to Connecticut as a sophomore to attend high school. He graduated from Franklin & Marshall College with a degree in government.

After college, Turton landed a job with then House Majority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Miss.). He stayed with Gephardt for more than 20 years, moving from a receptionist to a key player.

Turton left Capitol Hill in 2003 to work with the powerful lobbying company Timmons & Co. He worked with 41 clients, including many corporate ones like the American Council of Life Insurers, Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, Chevron, the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Rifle Association and Unocal Corp, according to Roll Call.Crabtree, Susan, “Days before Nov. election, three Dem aides departed,” The Hill, Jan. 25, 2007(4)Crabtree, Susan, “Days before Nov. election, three Dem aides departed,” The Hill, Jan. 25, 2007

In 2006, Turton returned to Congress to work for Slaughter as majority staff director for the House Rules panel

The move surprised many inside the Beltway, particularly because Slaughter had previously used harsh words to describe lobbyists. “Watching Washington be taken over by these little sleaze merchants is not only expensive and repulsive — it is destroying America,” she said on the House floor in 2005.

Like I told my friends earlier today, this is classic: Gibbs lies his ass off for a couple years, and the Democrats are silent. He TELLS THE TRUTH ONE TIME and then they get pissed.

Funny! What do you think caused him to tell the truth?

The Network

Turton’s work with Gephardt has tied him to a slew of prominent Democrats and Obama advisers like campaign manager David Plouffe, and spokesman Bill Burton. He is also connected to former Clinton aides like ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Paul Begala.Timmons and Co. Web site(2)Timmons and Co. Web site

Turton also has ties to top Hill staffers like Matt Gelman, who answered phones with Turton. Now Gelman is working for House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.). Bernie Raimo, who is chief counsel to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sean Kennedy, who is chief of staff to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Miss.) were also Gephardt staffers.O’Connor, Partrick, “Six degrees of ... Dick Gephardt?,” Politico, July 24, 2008(8)

The Dems have Gibbs & We have Steele. I’d almost be willing to trade with them.

True. If the GOP wins back Congress and fails to stop Obamacare immediately, then the painful stuff will go into effect under GOP control. And the general population who get their news from the MSM will be led to believe it was the GOP that caused the problems. And, sadly, I think they will fall for it.

When the Dems lose the Huse, Pelosi will no doubt say “It’s all Bush’s fault”
