Mark Penn thinks media is tougher on Palin than the Democrats

[Peacetrain]

And he has LOTS of advice for the Democratic campaign.

You just cannot make this stuff up. He really hammers the media, Well Mark , I am so sorry, but if it were not for the media, Palin, would have NO vetting, and this woman wants to be in the second most powerful office in the world, not only the United States. So a little support for their efforts would be appreciated instead of pulling them down. Honestly I just do not know what to think of guys

"I think here the media is on very dangerous ground. I think that when you see them going through every single expense report that Governor Palin ever filed, if they don't do that for all four of the candidates, they're on very dangerous ground. I think the media so far has been the biggest loser in this race. And they continue to have growing credibility problems.

And I think that that's a real problem growing out of this election. The media now, all of the media — not just Fox News, that was perceived as highly partisan — but all of the media is now being viewed as partisan in one way or another. And that is an unfortunate development."

1. Mark Penn is an insect. A very bloated insect.

[Peacetrain]

2. You are not going to get any argument out of me on that one NT

[renie408]

3. It's about fucking time the media was hard on a Republican. They just don't

know how to live in this new world where the media isn't repeating all their talking points verbatim.

4. And wouldn't it be nice if our supposed own would cut them slack?

[Starry Messenger]

5. Mark Penn...

:rofl:

[Tutonic]

6. I'm gonna send him a big bag of pretzels...and hope that nature

does the rest.

[saltpoint]

7. Penn is like one of those pompous full-of-himself lords you expect to

be peopling a Dickens novel.

I didn't like him much in the first place and like him a lot less now.

8. Between him and Wolfson..with friends like that who needs enemies NT

9. Hillary Clinton started out with everything

More money tha God, name recognition up the wazoo, married to an ex president, an established organization - and managed to lose the nomination to a virtual unknown.

That greasy fat slob Mark Penn was about 75% of the reason why (Mr red faced finger wagger was the other 25%).

It's fucking ludicrous that he would even imagine that anybody would pay any attention to what verbal flatulance emerges from his mouth.

10. Because the bitch is not qualified to be VP

[Peacetrain]

13. The truth is, the American people have vetted Obama, Biden and even McCain

for the last couple of years. McCain made an arrogant error in judgment putting someone up with only 60 days to go basically unvetted (his people are in AK now trying to cover up the mess) and the media is left with the job.

She is not ready for the job. And with McCains health history and age, it is a very BIG concern. If there was ever a time for media to jump in it is now.

But the idea that the media is being tougher on her than they were on Obama or Clinton is laughable.

11. Who's he sending the bill to? n/t

12. Mark Penn is the new Dick Morris

And they can both go fuck right off.
