[Joe the Revelator]

[Perky]

5. Were I a Clitnon Supporter....I would want answers

If she is the niminee.. as a dem I would want her no where near the campaign.

[abburdlen]

7. Were I a Clinton supporter

I'd be glad he ain't around stinckin' the HQ up.

[Cha]

13. I don't speculate much but can't

resist with ol' mark penn who's contributed so much to the ugliness of hilary's campaign..

Maybe he's fired and I don't mean UP.

[jgraz]

4. I think it's very likely that he's no longer her chief campaign strategist

You don't usually fail this badly and keep your job.

[Perky]

6. I guess///it sure looks like capitulation that is for sure

[thevoiceofreason]

8. HaHaHaHaHa

He's working on the Penn primary -- get it?

[sniffa]

9. To any Clinton supporters who may now be having buyer's remorse

Please know you'll have a very happy new home, despite some of the, um, er, more enthusiastic Obama supporters, or even the stealth Hillary supporters.

[DrFunkenstein]

10. Much More Ethical Than His Job Before The Campaign

I'm glad whenever he's not representing some of the lowliest corporations - and regimes - in the world.

[Perky]

11. Is Bill now chief strategist?

[Freetospeak]

12. Is this the guy who got $4.3 million for his services so far?

[Perky]

14. That's the one.

[Yael]

16. $5.8. He has an outstanding invoice for the other $1.5

[Adelante]

20. That much?

Good lord. No wonder the campaign went broke. These consultants are the devil, I swear.

[Yael]

Penn is CEO of Blackwater's PR firm.

[Perky]

17. Have clinton supporters been stunned into silence

No one seems to be rushing to defend this.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

18. Only Rove can defend the indefensible, & McCain just hired him.

[Perky]
