Hillary’s Lobbying Fix

Posted at 9:28 am on Friday, October 19, 2007, in Uncategorized, and tagged 2008, tapper.

Jake Tapper blogged yesterday about Hillary Clinton’s supposed luncheon for rural Americans actually being held at the offices of a big business lobbying firm, one that represents a controversial agri-biotech company,* and I commented…

This is devastatingly embarrassing to the frontrunner. Being so absent-minded of the real issues to “rural Americans” is evidence of contempt for the nominating process. Some things may look fine on paper, but the campaign really must look at the big picture, of what all of this means.

* In the interest of full disclosure, this controversial company (Monsanto) was a client of a company I have previously worked for, and I had worked on the project. I was not involved with the products Monsanto creates, or even their processes, but I had worked as an engineer on a project to improve their operations.
