So this morning I'm doing some research on Cindy McCain's theft of prescription drugs from a charity, and former McCain press aide Torie Clarke is involved.  I head over to her wikipedia entry to check out her profile, and lo and behold, here's the book she wrote about political spin.

Incidentally, Torie Clarke and Mark Salter were probably engaged in a conspiracy to hide Cindy McCain's illegal activities, but that's another story.

It's a common PR term ... (0.00 / 0)
especially when the PR agency gets brought in after some kind of major fiasco.  "Umm, we just had a data breach and lost a zillion customer records.  Can you make this look good?"  That kind of stuff.

Holy crap (0.00 / 0)
Have you ever seen such flagrant hypocrisy?  I almost want to compliment the McCain campaign for getting away with it.
Oh, how funny! (0.00 / 0)
And McCain's daughter this morning said her dad uses that term (which we know and have record of on YouTube).

But I guess it's ok for McCain to say it and for Palin to say the only diff between Hockey moms and dogs is lipstick.

Flagrant hypocrisy is right.

This has to be the lamest swiftboat attack, ever. Well, maybe not, the racist pedophile was worse.  

NO surprise about Salter and Clark (0.00 / 0)
I remember her press conferences, selling the White House Iraq Group lies, she is pure trash.
hilarious! (0.00 / 0)
i mean, of course we all knew that they were being hypocritical here, but seriously?!  the TITLE of her book?  

i mean, who even writes a book with a title like that?

I think... (0.00 / 0)
...I'd like to know more about that "other" story.
Case Closed, Next? (0.00 / 0)
I suggest taking down the "McCain is a proven leader" concept. But that GOES WITHOUT SAYING, as I'm certain all the surrogates out there understand, right?
