Karen Handel, Komen stooge, writes book about being 'bullied' during Planned Parenthood

[CurtEastPoint]

snafu. Waaaah waaaah waaaaah.

NEW YORK — The former Susan G. Komen executive at the heart of the organization's clash with Planned Parenthood has a book deal. Howard Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Monday that Karen Handel's "Planned Bullyhood" will come out Sept. 11.

Handel is a former senior vice president of public policy at Komen. She resigned in February amid a furious public debate over the breast cancer charity's decision to cut off, then reinstate funding for Planned Parenthood. Handel is a Republican who opposed abortion as a candidate for Georgia governor. She actively supported Komen's move to end the grants.

Last week, Komen's founding CEO, Nancy Brinker, announced she was stepping down. A Komen spokeswoman says the decision is unrelated to last winter's controversy. Komen President Liz Thompson also is leaving.

1. These people care about nothing but money. n/t

2. Attempting to drum up sympathy fail.

Sorry you sided with the douchebags at the Catholic League and brought it on yourselves. You can't play the victim here.

3. They're all victims

I mean, that's what ALL right-wingers have in common.

4. "...Komen President Liz Thompson also is leaving..."

But she's not going far, and her salary for whatever job she takes isn't going to be any less than she's collecting now. And what about the family members on the payroll?

Komen's stance on PP was bad enough, but I don't think they'll ever recover after word got about about how they spent >80% of all the funds raised on salaries, events and fund raising. What a waste of a charitable dollar, eh?
