Penn praises McCain ad

[GoesTo11]

In an op-ed in Politico on Tuesday, Mark Penn, former top strategist to Sen. Hillary Clinton, said negative ads are often effective in forming public opinion of a candidate. He pointed to the McCain campaign's recent ad featuring Paris Hilton and Britney Spears as an example of an effective television spot.

"Fair or not, as advertising it did its job: It used humor, stuck viewers with memorable images and created a debate, just as Lyndon Johnson's 1964 'Daisy' ad, Walter Mondale's 'Red Phone' spot 20 years later and Hillary Rodham Clinton's '3 a.m.' commercial in 2008 did," Penn wrote.

2. Please put "Mark Penn" in the title.

It could have been Sean Penn or Penn and Teller.

3. That's why Penn is no longer a strategist for a major party campaign

and Axelrod is.

Penn is a mercenary SOB who will whore himself out to the highest bidder--and he's a moron if he thinks that ad went over like anything more than a lead balloon--and made McCain the target of ridicule.

5. He must be auditioning for a Fox job like his buddy Wolfson. NT

8. Penn is responsible for one of the WORST-RUN campaigns EVER

That's like asking Icarus on tips on how to fly.
