Hey, Mark Penn just earned $101,600 from the Clinton Campaign

[berni_mccoy]

That's how much he pulls down in ONE DAY on the Clinton Campaign. $101,600. (data from the FEC, based on March data).

He's still drawing a paycheck from her.

[tekisui]

1. He's drawing IOU's at the moment.

He's owed $2.5 million by the Clinton Campaign.

[berni_mccoy]

4. He received 3.15 million in March... he's paid up as of then. They are less than a month behind

in paying him... I don't know about you, but I only get paid once a month.

[rainbow4321]

55. Meanwhile she was TWO months behind in her Iowa grocery bills...

Screw the small business owners but pay off that millionaire's IOU!

HRC debt to Iowa grocery stores from January...on her March IOU list

2. kinda looks like he just got mugged there.

[JimGinPA]

3. He's Worth Every Penny!

:evilgrin:

[kwenu]

5. He looks like a serial killer. John Wayne Gacy

[Cali_Democrat]

6. One Hundred Thousand Dollars!!!

[Lucky 13]

10. Sadly that guy is better looking than Penn... and less creepy.

[Johnny__Motown]

7. I hope they give him a $20 million bonus.... soon

[Lucky 13]

8. Jesus Christ. Making $101,600 a day you'd think he could at least afford:

A comb, an iron, a tie, some Jenny Craig and a shower.

There's no WAY this guy is married right? To a man OR a woman... no decent spouse would let him leave the house like that.

[XemaSab]

18. When they finally make a good film version of "Confederacy of Dunces"

I think we know who the logical choice is for Ignatius. :hide:

[Tresalisa]

28. Yes, Mark Penn is married.

Here's a link: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Mark_Penn

He does look a bit disheveled in that picture.

:hi:

[stratomagi]

37. To What?

[Lucky 13]

42. Apparently... Nancy Jacobson

According to her Third Way biographical profile:<1>

Ms. Jacobson is a longtime Democratic Party fundraiser. In addition to helping found Third Way, she also serves as Senior Advisor to Senator Evan Bayh, National Finance Chair for the Democratic Leadership Council, and Founder and Executive Director of Next Generation, a political action committee devoted to supporting moderate, centrist Senate candidates. Ms. Jacobson was an early supporter of Bill Clinton’s 1992 Presidential campaign, and was Finance Director of the Democratic National Committee when he assumed office in 1993. Ms. Jacobson received her B.A. in Political Science from Syracuse University and a Masters in Public Relations from American University. She is married to Mark Penn, the worldwide CEO of Burson-Marsteller, who served as pollster and strategic advisor to President Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Well this may explain some of Hillary's loyalty to Mark Penn...

[quantass]

9. $3 million for a how-to sink a ship?!?

[mtnsnake]

11. I guess thats why he's standing there smirking his fat rich ass off at you, bernie

because he just doesn't give two shits what Obamawhiners think.

[catgirl]

41. sssssssssssssssssss.......

[berni_mccoy]

44. It must really hurt to know how your donations have been wasted.

[MannyGoldstein]

12. That Doesn't Sound Correct

So he's made $50 million or so from Clinton's campaign? It's amusing to think that she paid $2 million for each point she lost in the polls, but it seems off.

[berni_mccoy]

13. Here's the link to the FEC data

[MannyGoldstein]

17. That's Probably Not Just For Penn's 'Brilliance'

It's probably also for other services - direct mail, polling (and we know how important polling is to The Clintons), etc. Also, we don't know if it's a monthly bill.

Don't get me wrong - I hope that she keeps tossing as much money as possible into that human toilet.

[berni_mccoy]

19. It's a monthly disbursement according to the FEC.

And given that she's got 10s of thousands going to printing and mailing services for the same Month, I'd wager the 3.15 million to Mr. Penn was not for that purpose.

[Bigleaf]

14. Speaking of Mark Penn, I saw him driving today and grabbed my camera as fast as I could but could

only get a partial shot. Oh well.

[TLM]

15. Hey Clinton supporters....

Aren't you glad that the hard earned money you worked for, and donated to Clinton, is now in Mark Penn's pocket?

Would you have sent Mark Penn 100 bucks of your hard earned money directly?

[quantass]

16. "Hillary didnt pay me today so i was compensated with this young man on the left"

[MonkeyFunk]

20. That's Peter Beinart

of the New Republic. But one never tires of hearing how everyone evil must be gay.

[berni_mccoy]

21. Is that an admission that Penn is evil?

[MonkeyFunk]

22. No

it's an acknowledgement that many so-called progressives use homosexuality as an insult to people they don't like.

[mkultra]

30. well, no one said he was gay. but he does look like a pack of starburst

[thereismore]

23. I don't know who he is, but the guy on the left looks like a Young Republican. nt

[berni_mccoy]

25. He is Peter Beinart

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Beinart

He had been a vocal supporter of the war in Iraq, and chastised liberals and Democrats for failing, in his eyes, to adequately recognize the threat from Islamic fundamentalism and develop an alternative response to conservative and Republican policies. At the same time, however, Beinart has been critical of the Bush administration's handling of the war and its aftermath. Beinart renounced his position supporting the war in his book, The Good Fight.

He's also a member of PNAC.

[thereismore]

45. OMG, I knew he had those wild republican eyes. nt

[cooolandrew]

24. Very well paid for a pollster ain't he.

[berni_mccoy]

26. He's doing a hecuva job... them polls is hard work.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Did he press his face against the bank window?

[stillcool]

29. Damn... Is that the going rate?

[berni_mccoy]

31. Obama did much better with Plouffe at a mere $7800/month.

[stillcool]

32. Golly Gee...I'm confused...

I must have a decimal out of place...there is $7,800.00 per month vs. $101,600.00 for how long?

[berni_mccoy]

33. $101,600 PER DAY!

56. Plus he had NO IOU's to schools/grocery stores/health insurance premiums

HE seems to pay as he goes.

Given all the press/'Net talk that HRC has gotten for her outstanding IOU's, she would have been better off paying off the smaller people's IOU's than Penn's.

[NanceGreggs]

34. I could have done a much worse job ...

... than he has - and I would have done it for a lot less money.



(Okay, I was lying about the "could have done a lot worse job" part.)

[FrenchieCat]

35. You think earning that kind of money for nothing, he could afford

better clothes! Geeze!

[MonkeyFunk]

36. Did he get paid that?

Or was that payments to his firm for services?

[hfojvt]

39. earned? earned?

Okay I guess the first meaning of "earn" is the same as "get" while the second meaning is "deserve".

Cripes that's stupid and confusing. Let's do math like that. Instead of two = ** and three = ***
We'll make the primary meaning of three = ** and let it have a secondary meaning of ***.

That way sometimes 2 + 3 = 4 and sometimes 2 + 3 = 5.

But that's still too simple, we need to change the definition of + and give that operation multiple meanings. :crazy:

But I digress. Whatever that means.

[berni_mccoy]

40. I see your point... next time I post this thread, it will say paid.

[Symarip]

43. WHAT?!?!

Hey Hillary, can you 'fire' me too? Daddy needs a new BMW.

[berni_mccoy]

46. *snicker*... yes, it's an incredible lack of good judgement on her part. Think of how many TV ads

she could have in PA if she weren't paying Penn so damn much.

[greguganus]

47. A fool and her money are soon parted. n/t

[Vinca]

48. I'm sending my resume to the Clinton campaign.

I can sink her campaign for half the price.

[berni_mccoy]

49. Hell, I'd do it for one tenth!

So far to date, she's spent over 10 million for his 'expert advice'!

[usregimechange]

50. He is still working for them?

[berni_mccoy]

51. Yes. He stepped down in his title only. He is still providing advice and polling services

To the campaign. At his usual rate of $101,600 per day.

Penn himself has down-played the role-change.

[berni_mccoy]

52. Kicking for the Dinner Time crowd.

[samsingh]

53. he's disgusting

[samsingh]

54. he's disgusting

[democracy1st]

57. u got that right

[thevoiceofreason]

58. Bring back Samantha!
