Colombia Fires Mark Penn
By Eric Kleefeld - April 5, 2008, 2:40PM
The Colombian government has terminated its contract chief Clinton strategist Mark Penn's lobbying firm, after he apologized for personally meeting with their ambassador on Monday to discuss strategy for a free-trade deal that Hillary Clinton publicly opposes.

Apparently the Colombians did not take kindly to Penn calling the meeting "an error in judgment." From their statement: "The Colombian government considers this a lack of respect to Colombians, and finds this response unacceptable."

13. Last night one of the networks played a clip of Hillary stating how
wrong it was for someone on Obama's payroll to speak to a foreign country. She really needs to learn about YouTube.
BTW, Penn looks like a god damned pig.
