Matt Drudge Fuck's Up - Misses Story On Senator Clinton

Today's Drudge Report contains a link entitled "Obama Aloof" which leads to Bob Novak's online publication, where the lead story is not that small issue, but a BIG STORY on Hillary Clinton and her chief strategist Mark Penn.

Mark Penn is also the CEO of a PR firm that has health care clients that back policies which run counter to Senator Clinton's.

Why did Drudge miss this? My theory is that conservatives like him are trying to promote Hillary Clinton because they think she has a better chance of loosing to a Republican challenger.

Bad form, Matt. Get your act together.

Hillary's Strategist

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Clinton is facing increasing Democratic criticism for using Mark Penn as her presidential campaign's chief strategist while he also serves as CEO of Burson-Marsteller, the public relations giant with corporate clients whose policies run opposite to Clinton's.

Clients include Royal Dutch Shell (attacked by Clinton for "windfall profits"), as well as tobacco and pharmaceutical firms with records she has deplored. Penn was a key operative in President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign and continued as a second-term adviser.

A footnote: Penn criticized Bloomberg News, which has reported on conflicts between Burson-Marsteller and the Clinton campaign, for obtaining "several months" of Penn's internal blogs. On June 29, a former employee who started a rival firm filed suit in New York City against Penn for monitoring his personal e-mails.
