BEST DREAM TEAM SINCE ‘92 USA BASKETBALL: Former Clinton chief strategist and irreparable dipshit Mark Penn is hiring a new vice chairwoman for his elitist Burson-Marsteller PR firm, and it’s Eleanor Roosevelt. Just kidding, it’s worse! He is hiring famous Bush loyalist Karen Hughes as his vice chairwoman, where she will “provide crisis communications consulting and advice to corporate clients.” What a catch! Karen Hughes has a well detailed background as a P.R. mastermind. [NYT/The Caucus]
At least she’s a fan of rock music.
Shit still floats to the top. Even whale sized turds like Hughs and Penn.
That’s so awesome for Mark Penn to capture Hughes after she successfully completed her last task over all the naysayers, and that was to improve the U.S.’ image throughout the Middle East, and she did that and everyone now loves us over there The End.
I can just hear these two numbskulls in a corporate board room right now, ruminating with a distressed CEO and board of directors about how to undo the damage they’ve done but won’t acknolwedge:
“Here’s what you do here, gang — all you need to do is hide under a pile of coats in the back of your closets for a while and hope everything has worked itself out just fine by the time you come out. POW! See that? See how we just did that for you right there? You like how we just did that just now? Problem solved! We’ll invoice you . . .”
Well, if you’re a legendarily incompetent sack of ambergris like Penn, surrounding yourself with people who make you look good by comparison makes sense.
I suppose it’s convenient to keep all the fuckwads in one place. I suggest they hire Dick Cheney in 1/09.
That bag of dicks would come in real handy just about now.
Mark and Karen are actually the same person.
Fuck her and the camel she rode in on.
Joke’s on her when she realizes Penn pays his cronies in Twinkie crumbs and mayonnaise packets.
Is George running for another four years or something?
All that’s left for Penn is to snag Scooter Libby,and his “Troika Of Twat” will be complete….
Well, she’s had lots of experience putting lipstick on a pig before. Not successfully, mind you — but if you’d seen the pig you’d understand. Rehabilitating Penn’s image will be a cakewalk compared to selling incompetent, thoughtless reactionary anti-Islamism to the Arab world.
honestly. who hires these people. there are armies of good consultants out there and these people have 1/10th the brainpower and as far as i can tell have never been successful.
oh, that’s right, payoffs!
SayItWithWookies: I don’t know if you check Gawker or Jezebel ever, but if you go to that evil empire, I just left you a private message.
norbizness: ah, i didn’t consider that. I hear there are some nice new offices offices in bagdad that need to be filled. soft muzzie target?
The should do a commercial like the KY yours and mine commercial.
Karen: “Whenever we conspire to rape the country by exposing the weaknesses in its democracy, we like to use KY yours and mine.”
Mark: “It’s also great for when Hillary comes over for a three way.”
Karen Hughes’s biggest selling point was being one of Bush’s cracker friends from Texas. That was 8 years ago, she has no other mission, therefore she must self-destruct.
Hughes is the one Bush remora I hate the most. All I can picture is her sputtering with spittle on hers lips during the 2000 Florida debacle. At least I can laugh at that simpering W, but Hughes makes me crazy. Oh, wait…
This is why, no matter how much the Secret Muslim sells us out to the center, you just KNOW it would have been soooo worse with the McEthics Clintons….
Satanist! She’s a witch!! BURN HER!!!
Awww…that’s so sweet! I can’t think of two kids who deserve each other more!
OK, I’m a little late, but this is clearly a good strategy. All of those Obama backers who were reluctant to send money to Hillary, because it would just go to Mark Penn, will now be happy to chip in, considering a good portion of it will be going to Karen Hughes.
