Mark Penn has spear headed on abysmal failure after another. What was Microsoft thinking?

What a fat incompetent nincompoop. Seriously I hate this guy.

Penn got lucky ONCE. He was on the Big Dogs team in '92. Every campaign he has been involved with since has been a disaster & he has demonstrated a level of political tone deafness and incompetence that is truly stunning. I'm shorting Microsoft. If Penn brings his unique skills to them in the ways he has to politics they are screwed

Mark Penn's continued employment is proof we do not live in a meritocracy.
