    Yes, the internet is the reason I have yet to procreate, but that doesn't mean I don't cry every night wishing for a suburban with an ACK bumper sticker.

    @markscottmusic: Remember, during the 2008 campaign, Penn was the idiot who didn't hear about the importance of caucus states for delegate-building until Hillary lost a half dozen of them.

    I have nothing to contribute to this post other than to say that the last line of it reminds me of the hilariously genius tweet Lindsay Lohan wrote after she "caught" Justin Timberlake allegedly cheating on Jessica Biel:

    "where's jb cheater?"

    In reply to Mark Penn and Wall Street Journal Now Equally Pathetic
    You can see why Hillary lost to Obama in the primaries right here. The guys from BM (heh)are stuck in their self-made echo chamber of lies and excuses and have completely lost touch with how people really perceive them. They can get away with not giving a shit about that when it comes to corporate clients. But when you're marketing a person directly to consumers, like in politics, Penn's tone-deafness, excessive focus on dumbshit buzzwords and terrible ideas cost them the prize.

    This is about marketing honchos, who follow Mark Penn's 'advice,' being too lazy and too arrogant to get out into the trenches and actually listen to people and get clear first-hand information. Instead they use some erratic, semi-delusional, self-congratulatory insider as their go-between and promote his work like crazy because he says cool-sounding things. All this applies to Thomas Friedman too.

    Does anyone else find Burson-Marsteller domain name amusing? Awesome brand management, PR guys! Or am I just being fecal? (See Gottheimer's email address.)
