“She also said Kerry wasn’t on his boat until he was busted.
David Shuster and Jake Tapper attended her wedding to another liberal democrat operative.”

Love, dedication and Rahm Emanuel helped Jen Psaki and Gregory Mecher get down the aisle.
Psaki was six weeks into a new communications gig with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Rahm Emanuel, then chairman of the DCCC, was traveling to Philadelphia to speak at an event where she would be handling the media.
As Psaki, a Luddite, scrambled to set up a Web video for Emanuel, a call came on her cellphone — the chairman’s driver was lost and needed directions.
“And I have no sense of direction. I didn’t know even where we were, but I was like ‘Oh, I think you take a left,’ “ recalls Psaki, now 31.
Mecher, a deputy finance director at the DCCC who regularly traveled in “a very small entourage” with Emanuel, was on the other end of the line that January 2006 day, taking instructions from Psaki that led them even further afield. Finally they reached the event site, and once Mecher moved on from thinking, “Why did she get us lost?” he thought: “She’s cute.”

Since then, the better part of her waking hours has revolved around Obama and his political pursuits. Jen had previously worked for Senator John Kerry’s failed bid for the presidency, caught the bug for such madness, and wanted another go at it. A rising star in the Democratic party, Obama had the back story and principles that appealed to her. People she knew from her Kerry days, including Robert Gibbs, who would go on to become White House press secretary, and Burton, were now working for the senator from Illinois. They had some conversations, and she signed on.

Sounds good, Jen thought, and off she went. Living in ignoble conditions and putting in godless hours, she worked for the Iowa Democratic Party, then in the press office of the Kerry campaign, first in Des Moines, then Washington, D.C. Among other duties, she was spokeswoman for the adult children of Kerry, his wife, Theresa Heinz and John Edwards.

Former Patrick Kennedy staffer joins staff of Rep.-elect Joseph Kennedy
Comments
December 24, 2012
Gregory Mecher, who served on former Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy’s staff, is returning to the Kennedy fold.
He was named chief of staff to U.S. Rep.-elect Joseph P. Kennedy III, D-Massachusetts, last week.
(snip)
Mecher most recently served as deputy chief of staff for the U.S. General Service Administration. Prior to that, he was chief of staff to former U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-Ohio. He also worked for former U.S. Rep. and current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Thanks Maggie! Looks like she is no stranger to ‘lying for the cause’.
Geez....(shaking head).
Sent the link to Drudge and Breitbart.
From your Greenwich link:
“With midterm elections heating up last year, in an effort to fire up the Democratic base, Jen became something of a point man for attacks on the Republicans via the White House blog.”
Hmmmm...go figure.
