Mark Penn is a Hired Gun
Mark Penn is a hired gun. He doesn't have to believe what Hillary Clinton believes, he just has to help her get elected. So his admission that his meeting was "an error in judgement" speaks to the timing and not the underlying purpose of the meeting, that is, to promote a job losing trade agreement that Hillary claims to be against.
Things in Washington have progress so far in favor of business that you have McCain's "senior advisor" Charlie Black, advising McCain on the straight talk express and working for Clinton's chief strategist, Mark Penn at the same time, carrying on his lobbying business on the McCain bus. It is beyond irony that McCain sent Charlie Black to rebut the NY Times lobbyist story.
Whatever happened to campaign advisors believing, at least a little, in what they are fighting for?

I was surprised someone in the Obama camp called for Penn to go. Penn and Black are both doing wonderful work... for Obama!
Hil sure knows how to pick 'em. She keeps it all in the family. Hillary/McCain, Penn/Black. What a cozy group. Heartwarming, it is.

McHill advisors need more kool-aid. Cheers.
