Why did the Clintons hire Penn in the first place? Was that a thoughtful judgment call?

[kid a]

We've had eight years of this.
Finding out in the midst of a crisis or event that the people our "leader" has selected to be in charge of important departments are there out of cronyism.

I hope Pennsylvania voters are listening.

1. That is the question alright!

So, is it that Hillary didn't know who Penn was working with ~ or is it that her stated positions on trade are bogus??

5. .........or is it that her stated positions on trade are bogus?

2. She based her decision on her vast experience.

Obviously.

3. "Heck of a job, Pennie!" n/t

4. Heck of a job, Henny-Penny!

6. please,this is the clintons-you expect something beside sleazy corporatism?

[Dr.Phool]

7. Because Dick Morris turned the job down?

Hillary brought Morris into the White House. Morris brought Penn in.

[blm]

8. Penn IS who the Clintons are - Democrats just don't WANT to believe the truth

when it comes to the people we were consitioned to defend for years even as they were in league with all those we were fighting.

Dog and pony show. Bush-Clinton-Bush style.

9. In a word, no.

10. If you paid attention you would know that Day One begins on Inauguration day

[moondust]

11. Exactly.

Why would anybody hire a moonlighting CEO as chief strategist for their PRESIDENTIAL campaign? If you don't take your campaign seriously enough to hire somebody dedicated to working full-time in that key job then why would anybody else take it seriously?

[Zachstar]

12. I agree. I hope PA voters note how Clinton puts these people in important positions in her campaign.

And who she will pick if she manages to get to the white house.

14. look at the hands!!!!

[dailykoff]

15. Well, the truth is we've had sixteen years of this

but we're just finding out about it now.

17. Penn had been doing Clinton's polls for years...

... and the Clinton's value loyalty over competence and integrity. Kind of like someone else we know of...
