As you know, Mark Penn’s firm received $5.9 million Stimulus money for doing PR work on the Stimulus bill.
Sounds clean. Right? Well no. Penn was for a while the lead PR guy for Secretary of State Clinton’s presidential campaign, but a bill totaling $5.4 million was never paid to him. Until of course, Penn’s firm got approximately the same amount for doing “P.R. work” on the stimulus.
The cronyism of the Bush team could not have gone away faster. Right? The good news is that the Penn pay of $5.9 officially saved 3 jobs at Penn’s firm. Now I really feel good.
