By March or April or whenever it was that she got fired, everybody knew that Patti Solis Doyle was personally responsible for every single thing that went wrong with the Clinton campaign, except for the things Mark Penn and Bill Clinton and the candidate herself and even Harold Ickes were responsible for. Ms. Doyle was banished to her native Chicago uranium mines with only her public humiliation to keep her company, until the Obama campaign hired her, with predictable results: the Clinton people went insane with rage.
Now in a very looong article in the Washington Post, notable mainly for Solis Doyle’s marvelous Katharine-Hepburn-plays-intrepid-lady- journalist-in-North-Africa tab-sleeved shirt, David Axelrod professes wonderment that anyone would assume that Obama’s hiring Mistress Spendsalot would mean Hillary Clinton had no spot on the Democratic ticket.
“There was no message — absolutely not,” Obama senior strategist David Axelrod says. He said he never asked Solis Doyle, whom he’s known for 20 years, where she stood with Clinton, and he says he was not aware of issues associated with her management style.
“Honestly, we were not privy to the history of the campaign’s relationships,” he says.
David Axelrod will be here all week, and advises you to try the veal.

To the victor belong the spoils.
Suck it, Hillary.
I would totally do her.
Someone Hitler-ize Axelrod’s ‘stache, via the Photoshops. I see a resemblance.
I’ll be waiting.
[re=47717]Anita Cocktail[/re]: Don’t you mean to the victor go the (Solis) Doyles?
I don’t know how to take that “I will lie out of my ass and you will write down every word” attitude.
Cool Evil or Scary Evil?
Yes, after reading the entire article, you will still not give a shit about Solis Doyle, at all.
DoNutz for everyone!
[re=47722]magic titty[/re]: i think ore more like that guy from “Cheers”. You know, the mailman.
Patti Solis Doyle can totally sit on my face. She’d probably cum money all over my nose.
[re=47722]magic titty[/re]: The guy from Cheers. The mailman. I try to avoid Hitler, Genocide, Dictatorship references.
…everyone knows that the Obama campaign should have hired Mark Penn and Terry McCauliffe!!!
Cliff!
Asked whether he had given consideration to Solis Doyle’s reputation as a controversial manager, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe says: “There’s a culture to an organization that influences people’s behavior, and our culture has been collegial and respectful. . . . I heard theirs was not as collegial.
Snap!
Why hasn’t she been deported yet?
what i learned from reading that:
1) Bill tried to bone her.
2) women are catty.
3) something something truck nutz
At least she’s doing well with that new gig modeling American Apparel® swimwear.
Is ‘insane with rage’ better or worse than being insane from other causes? Not that I’m implying anything…
Who could possibly fire her? It has to be someone that is getting some seriously delicious trim. Oh, and why is anyone thinking Hillary had a chance against Barry in a Democratic primary race? Like we’re going to vote for a chick? I mean…you know…we vote for the most qualified person. It totally has nothing to do with her being a bitch, er, girl, I mean, woman. Really!
[re=47722]magic titty[/re]: Not fair. Anyone looks like Hitler if you give them one of those mustaches. Even kitties!

so am I hearing this right… Hillary was cock-blocked by Solis-Doyle?
and don’t get me wrong, but since Obama’s not campaigning right now, and there’s no need for snow shovels in August, Patti probably isn’t a very big spender right now.
Wonkette is slipping big time, who wants to see a picture of D. Axelhose when pretty Patti could have graced this page!

Awww…
It’s cute that you all miss Hillary so much.
Take it from someone who was on the midnight call after IA, PSD couldn’t lead a Dunkin’ Donuts night shift.

Sara K. Smith,
Yes, she was hired as his VP’s Chief-of-Staff. And people still speak of a “Dream Ticket”. I personally would have loved to hear Hillary say, “What do you mean you spent $100,000,000 on snow shovels?” I guess Patti took in Ickes for backup when she told the candidate they needed her to loan them some money as her campaign was broke.
If Obama is going to ask Hillary to be VP, he has a vicious streak in him. I guess that’s true in reverse as well. Either way, Obama is an ass.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
