9. "Penn wasn't wearing his Clinton Camp Top BS Artist hat"
How can that be that Hillary's top surrogate was out supporting a deal she's against? Ah, for that you need Mark Penn's collection of invisible hats.

He wasn't there in his campaign role, but in his separate job as chief executive of Burson-Marsteller Worldwide, an international communications and lobbying firm. The firm has a contract with the South American nation to promote congressional approval of the trade deal, among other things, according to filings with the Justice Department.

So Penn wasn't wearing his Clinton Camp Top BS Artist hat, he was wearing his Smarmy Lobbyist Against US Workers hat. How nice it must be to have such a collection of invisible hats that no matter what you're up to, you always have an excuse.

A good thing, too, because without those hats, Penn would come off as a cynical jerkwad who would sell out anyone or anything just to put another buck in his pocket. And then Hillary would be putting her campaign in the hands of someone whose beliefs are no deeper than the oil stain on top of a mud puddle.
