Politics As Usual

Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist met with Colombia's ambassador to the U.S. on Monday to discuss a bilateral free-trade agreement, a pact the presidential candidate opposes.

Attendance by the adviser, Mark Penn, was confirmed by two Colombian officials. 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.

[...]

Howard Wolfson, communications director for Sen. Clinton's campaign, said in an email that "Mark was not there on behalf of the campaign" and referred further questions to Burson-Marsteller. "Sen. Clinton's opposition to the trade deal with Colombia is clear," Mr. Wolfson added.

You say this is her chief strategist? A lobbyist who works for something she claims to be against? Nice choice, Hill.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

  1. As I was coming down the stair
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.
