Uh oh -- Colombia has fired Mark Penn

[JMDEM]

This is posted in the latest breaking news, but basically, Mark Penn said it was a "mistake" to push for free trade with Colombia just days after having high-lewel meetings about free trade with the Colombians. So they canned his ass.

Funny how this happened just a few days after it was exposed on the internet that Mark Penn was pushing NAFTA style agreements while Hillary was yabbering about opposing NAFTA.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that if he hadn't been exposed, he'd still be working with the Colombians, probably with Hillary's knowledge.

This whole Colombia thing is NOT playing well with the unions in PA!

What other sleazeballs does she have on her staff, bought and paid for while bills for schools, town halls, and youth group gyms here at home go unpaid?

8. Well, I don't know if I'd go so far as to call them sleazeballs, but...

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams, earned about $200,000 on the board of a Long Island subprime lender that charged prepayment penalties — a practice that Clinton, a critic of the subprime industry, now seeks to eliminate.

Williams, who took over the reins of Clinton’s campaign in early February, served as a director on the board of the Woodbury, N.Y.-based Delta Financial Corp. from April 2000 until the firm declared bankruptcy in December, according to Securities and Exchange Commission records.

<...>

Williams turned down repeated requests to be interviewed, although her assistant, Amee Patel, provided brief responses to several written questions by e-mail.
