Axelrod and Trippi Tag Team Penn
http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view.php?id=26694

It's the three stooges. No offense intended to Curly, Moe and Larry.

Get the hook for these guys. It's time the women took over, because this spectacle on "Hardball" was a disgrace. Children, all of them, Matthews included.

No clearer case could be made for women taking over the politics in this country. Because whatever these guys have we need to rid ourselves of it immediately.

But can anyone doubt Trippi and Axelrod are tag teaming the Clinton camp? With Matthews chiming in this was three on one, the guys all going after Clinton's man Mark Penn, who should be replaced by Mandy Grunwald, as one example, whenever Clinton needs a TV spokesperson. Seriously, what are they thinking? Trippi does such a disservice for Edwards, whining and practically winking to Axelrod as he attacks Penn. As for Axelrod, he has no class whatsoever. Even after Shaheen steps down, with Clinton personally apologizing, Axelrod obviously thinks the Shaheen event is Obama's ticket to the nomination so he will not let it go. Penn repeating the word cocaine infuriated Trippi, but you didn't hear Trippi calling Axelrod for ignoring the fact that Clinton has done all she can on the Shaheen score. Obama is even raising money off of it now. It's clear that both Trippi and Axelrod were hoping to make Penn look bad by working together in order to humiliate the Clinton camp, with Matthews acting as an enabler. The whole segment was such a turn off it's hard to judge who looked worse.

Axelrod also has a lot of nerve talking about negative attacks. Perhaps it has slipped Mr. Axelrod's mind what Marc Ambinder wrote recently:

His campaign staffers, too, have become frustrated by the focus of the media’s attention, specifically that the press has not covered Clinton in the way they expected it would. During an interview this summer, Obama’s friend Valerie Jarrett said to me, unbidden, “He is a man who is devoted to his wife. There aren’t going to be any skeletons in his closet in terms of his personal life at all. Period.” And at a campaign event in Iowa, one of Obama’s aides plopped down next to me and spoke even more bluntly. He wanted to know when reporters would begin to look into Bill Clinton’s postpresidential sex life.

If she really cares about helping HRC, she should be begging Team Flawless never to let this oaf near a camera again.

3. She did. She suggested Mandy Grunwald as his replacement. Not a bad idea.

2. Not impressed. Another "everybody ganging up on Hill" piece. She started this
nastiness. She needs to have the guts to finish it or bow out. "Poor Hillary"?? "Poor Mark Penn?" Puleezeee...

4. The author has never seen female campain staffers on these shows?
Not saying they any worse or better. Sometimes they're both.

Just sayin' the author is making a needless distinction.

5. Trippi and Axelrod (especially Trippi) were AWESOME today!


Kudos to the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams for showing the Hardball segment.

Trippi "tripped up" Penn badly!!

6. The only "stooge" in the bunch was Penn.
The other two came off as mature and above the dirt slingin fray. What Penn was saying and doing was frankly disgusting and the other two were 100% correct to go after him.

Clinton needs to fire Penn publically.

7. Does Taylor Marsh whine this loudly all the time or just since she's been writing for HillaryIs44?

Penn deserved to be ganged up on for all the garbage he was spewing. I loved every minute.
