Mark Penn Still a Scumbag

by Ken Layne


Repulsive swamp cow Mark Penn has so many personal microtrends that they all add up into one megatrend, which is “Mark Penn will take money from anybody, including Satan.” Here is Rachel Maddow responding to Penn’s latest bullshit about his latest scandal — claiming his PR firm hasn’t done work for Blackwater murder gangs. [Gawker]

Looks like soon Mark Penn will be needing to call…Burton-Marsteller.

Capitol Hillbilly March 10, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Now the repulsive Mark Penn will slip into Rachel’s house under cover of darkness, eat everything in her refrigerator, and clog up her toilets. Call Joe the Plumber!

Gopherit March 10, 2009 at 1:20 pm

So you think he started to work for Hillary to get the taste of Erik Prince’s dick out of his mouth?

NoWireHangers March 10, 2009 at 1:21 pm

“If I’m wrong I’m happy to do a correction…”

Oh Rachel, you’re still so polite even when you’re eviscerating a repulsive person like Mark Penn.

SWOON!

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! March 10, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Sheesh, Mark, you let down one of the sisterhood during an election, and they all come gunning for you.

Dinga Dinga Dee!

Speaking of Blackwater. Just how much dirt has the Obama administration received or seen on Blackwater to make them eject the CEO (like it matters), change their name and be PNGd from doing DOS work…and probably many others?

I am thinking that the truth of their excesses is going to be coming out soon.

Gopherit March 10, 2009 at 1:23 pm

Look, a new letter from Mark Penn to the employees of Burson-Marsteller:

“I never wrote the letter that was leaked to PR Week. I categorically deny ever saying anything in that letter, and I believe Ms Maddow significantly mischaracterized my ownership of the letter in question. Now, please would you bastards stop leaking my letters!!!!”

Texan Bulldoggette March 10, 2009 at 1:24 pm

Sorry, Rachel, but Mark Penn wouldn’t do anything for free. Hell, he’s still billing Hillz for losing her campaign for her. Unless Blackwater paid him in donuts & Duff beer….

[re=261653]Capitol Hillbilly[/re]: Don’t call Joe, get a licensed plumber for your Penn Eradication Needs.

“Repulsive swamp cow”

Christ, Ken, how do come up with them? I keep thinking that you’ve run out of imaginatively repulsive ways to describe reprehensible people, but you continue to amaze, day after day. I salute your skill at creative invective.

Delicious March 10, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Imagine if Hillary won, this douche would be in the White House.

Shudder. PUMAs can suck it. Suck it long and suck it hard.

Vanity Smurf March 10, 2009 at 1:27 pm

If only Hillary had paid her invoices on time he wouldn’t need to whore himself to Blackwater… well, at least not for the money.

jagorev March 10, 2009 at 1:28 pm

Satan, maybe, but at least he was consistent in his opposition to the anti-Christ, aka noobama hussein jr

norbizness March 10, 2009 at 1:29 pm

It’s the only contract between a civilian-murdering pile of assholes and a PR firm to be paid out entirely in surplus MREs.

AngryBlakGuy March 10, 2009 at 1:29 pm

…wait, wait wait! I thought the bounty hunters worked for Jabba the Hut and not the other way around?!

Lorax March 10, 2009 at 1:32 pm

I’ve always suspected that I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. Thanks for confirming that. Egad, she’s awesome.

V572625694 March 10, 2009 at 1:34 pm

Is it possible to love Rachel too much?

Orangeen March 10, 2009 at 1:46 pm

I remember Rachel Maddow providing the most apt description of Mark Penn ever, sometime last year. “If Columbo were detoxing from heroin in a locked room that had no air conditioning and no water but was really well-stocked with movie theater popcorn with extra synthetic butter”

S.Luggo March 10, 2009 at 1:48 pm

Penn’s reply at the PRWeek link:
“It is the very fact that AIG realizes it has a responsibility, as a recipient of government money, to be as accessible and open as possible in its dealing with external audiences that led them to utilize our[Burson-Marsteller’s] media relations services…”
The man is without any shame.

“Just like lawyers and management consultants, PR firms are often called in to help when companies face difficult problems.” Translation: we teach a company how to spin the public until gets dizzy, vomits on its shoes and falls over..

Lionel Hutz Esq. March 10, 2009 at 1:48 pm

Please, Ken, show some respect. It is Secretary of State Satan now.

S.Luggo March 10, 2009 at 1:50 pm

[re=261720]S.Luggo[/re]: until ‘it’ gets dizzy

S.Luggo March 10, 2009 at 1:51 pm

[re=261652]Mr Blifil[/re]: Maddow said, “When evil needs public relations, evil has Burson-Marsteller on speed dial.”

Lemming Caution March 10, 2009 at 1:53 pm

[re=261673]norbizness[/re]: Penn looks like he would love that wheat snack bread and bacon-cheese spread.

StephanieInCA March 10, 2009 at 2:01 pm

Penn has always struck me as more of a capybara.

DoctorCulturae March 10, 2009 at 2:08 pm

[re=261688]V572625694[/re]: We are all lesbians now.

WadISay March 10, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Gosh, when Burson-Marsteller finds itself in a PR disaster for being lying sacks of shit, who do they call?

frumious_bandersnatch March 10, 2009 at 3:33 pm

[re=261657]NoWireHangers[/re]: I see your SWOON, and I raise you a ::THUD::

rachelrachelrachelmmmm…

Godot March 10, 2009 at 3:33 pm

What, no “bowser” tag?

Toomush Infermashun March 10, 2009 at 4:18 pm

I’d be happier, if later in the show, Rachel hadn’t put moves on Janet Naplotano, proving how absurdly awkward my undying love for her has always (sadly, sadly) been….I’m going to go back to drinking now…. well, really, just have another…

Bitter-Elitist March 10, 2009 at 4:20 pm

[re=261742]StephanieInCA[/re]: Gah, you beat me to it. Also.

thetalltexan March 10, 2009 at 5:02 pm

More Rachel Maddow please! Don’t people know she is the smartest human in the world and will bust you in a lie?

yorktronic March 10, 2009 at 5:32 pm

I think I’m getting a snark overdose.

nader paul kucinich gravel March 10, 2009 at 6:30 pm

Hillary ‘Carrots Sticks Coercive Diplomacy’ Clinton is a real treat too!

dasNeonlicht March 10, 2009 at 8:05 pm

[re=261681]Lorax[/re]: I know exactly how you feel.

evolutionista March 10, 2009 at 10:51 pm

maybe he didn’t receive a dime–probably paid him in doughnuts and cheese fries.
