Slog - Comments on Questions for Mark Penn? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/questions_for_mark_penn Top Clinton strategist Mark Penn is in Seattle today, doing some advance-work for Hillary Clinton's stop at Benaroya Hall on Oct. 22. I'm not in Seattle today, however. I'm in NY on vacation. But I don't want to miss the Penn action, so I'll be joining a conference call in about 45 minutes in which Penn is to brief Washington State reporters on the state of the Clinton campaign.

Blackwater is a client of his.

ask him how can we socialist far-lefty liberal bubble treehuggers help him prevent his DLC center-right DINO client from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

ask him at what point in the campaign does his client pander to the liberal democratic base, instead of the pro-war republican base?

If he weasels on the answer by saying that he personally isn't doing it anymore, ask him how Hillary can justify asking for union support while having someone with union-buster ties in her campaign.

Personally I'd rather have a candidate associated with the latter. Both bad but Blackwater worse.

Specifically.

I think before we can vote for her we really need to know that she can do all that.

He goes to NY on vaca, makes conference calls AND he uses the word 'brief' in a way that does not mean quick or underwear.

Is he some failed mayor or some slut who likes to get married a lot and sleep with mistresses he cheats on?
