Mark Penn Annoys His Georgetown Neighbors

One great thing about being a Democratic campaign consultant is that win or lose, you are going to get paid. So even though Clinton pollster Mark Penn is the most always-teetering-on-the-brink-of-being-fired political consultant in the history of the known universe, his economic forecast is bright enough that he can embark on a whole slew of home renovations without concern for his neighbors.

From Page Six:

Hillary Rodham Clinton's pit-bull pollster and chief strategist Mark Penn has his Washington, DC, neighborhood in an uproar. He recently started multimillion-dollar renovations on his house on O Street in Georgetown, but didn't alert anyone beforehand, said one local. "It includes an underground garage and home office. His yard is an ugly, huge gaping hole that looks like the descent into hell."

Penn also put a Port-A-Potty on his lawn, no doubt in an effort to kickstart an awesome new microtrend. Some of the annoyed and aggrieved neighbors apparently include former Clinton White House Counsel Lloyd Cutler and his wife Polly Kraft. But neither are superdelegates, so whatevs.

Looks like a descent into hell? Sounds perfect for Penn's home office, which I believe was described in Chapter 5 of Dante's Inferno.....
