Mark Penn Has Something To Say About Blogging! Crowd Round!

by Choire posted @7:56 PM

Mark Penn, publicist and pollster for corporate murdering outfits, dodgy mortgage companies and Hillary Clintons, strikes again in the Wall Street Journal—on the topic of blogging. Do not look! He is trying to make you blog about this—using the tactics of PETA and Aubrey O'Day! Okay, but did you know that nearly 1% of Americans earn income from blogging, according to Mark Penn? I do not believe that factoid for one minute. And yet it is still fewer than the number of Americans in prison.

    Yeah but incidents of assrapery and applejack toilet distillation are higher in the blogging community than the incarcerated.

    I believe Mark Penn is a fabulist.

    The 1% stat is true.

    Butterfinger has deep pockets, my friend. Very deep pockets.

    which is/was worse: mark penn at the wall street jounal or bill kristol at the new york times?

    Penn? Mark Penn? The same Mark Penn who though California was a winner-take-all primary state? The same Mark Penn who not only though California was a winner-take-all primary state, but bet the entire Clinton campaign on this fact without anybody calling him on it?

    Yeah, 1% probably does sound right to him. I wonder who he's billing for that little factoid?

    Eee gads! One can earn money for doing this shit? Next, Penn will break into the shadowy world of upper-middle class women who like to spend time with their school-aged children. Wait, what?

    (But seriously, all of his employees seem to hate him.)
