Top Clinton Adviser Howard Wolfson Joining Fox News

Washington Post:

Howard Wolfson, one of the members of Hillary Rodham Clinton's innermost circle and perhaps the most visible member of the New York senator's television surrogates, is joining Fox News Channel as a Democratic analyst.

Wolfson confirmed the move this evening via email. In addition to his part time commentary duties on FNC, Wolfson will remain a partner at the Glover Park Group -- a major consulting firm in Washington, D.C.

"Fox has the largest audience in cable television -- many of its viewers are independents who will help decide the next election," said Wolfson of his decision. "It's critically important for strong progressives to be talking to and offering analysis to that audience."

Professional liar is rapidly becoming one of our higher paid careers.

Are there university courses yet?

Only a matter of time.

Great! Means he won't be joining the Obama camp.

[DMcD]

Stinkin' traitor !

[TheCritic]

FOX NEWS is hiring former Clinton people because it knows their still BITTER about that beating! What's better than having Dem's criticize Dem's! TURNCOAT!

[kcam44]

Yep, I smell a rat. They're gearing up for more Obama smears...How come no one from the Obama circle has a job at FOX?

[SwingVoter]

It will be just like home.

"many of its viewers are independents who will help decide the next election,"

Well I see Wolfie is off to a good, dishonest start.

Yet another reason to skip Fox News. I dislike Howard Wolfson more than I do Bill O'Reilly, and that is saying a lot.

[igiveup]

Wow... a Wolfson in Fox's clothing!

[BatedBreath]

That's a good'n. *chuckle chuckle*

[BlueLogic]

A "Democratic Strategist" on Faux Snooze is usually a sleeper GOP aligned 'DINO' or a disgruntled hack with an axe to grind *cough*Wolfson*cough* who is purportedly added to a discussion panel to counter the GOP commentator's tripe but essentially rolls over and plays dead letting the Repub bloviators drill down their schpiel and making Democrats look ineffectual under the guise of being a staunch advocate for the opposition. Morton Kondracke and Alan Colmes have relegated this to an artform.

Sad but maybe he really thinks he can represent the dem party on Faux. The majority of dems will never probably see him as most don't do faux for the reasons we all know. Maybe this is the only job open he could find.

I'm soooo shocked...NOT!

""Fox has the largest audience in cable television -- many of its viewers are independents who will help decide the next election," said Wolfson of his decision. "It's critically important for strong progressives to be talking to and offering analysis to that audience.""

what a load. isn't that lanny davis' job?

these fools will just be used as talking heads to provide points that the idiot rightwingers can refute. that is the whole point, and either they don't see it or they don't care.

or as some have mentioned below, they will be there to undermine obama.

[mistlesuede]

I think the "being there to undermine Obama" is correct. There is really no other explanation.
I always found him to be a swine just like Mark Penn and some other current and former "advisors" to the Clintons.
He has no credibility now at all. I really don't think the Clintons have any either.

[mellene]

What a pity that he can defame the Clinton name in this way. He's no better than a Karl Rove.

[Demoid]

Another reminder why It's good that Hillary got beat. Hacks like Wolfson are typical of the people who hang around the Clintons. I'm sure he'll make a lot of money for giving Fox a fig leaf.

[Bluejay00234]

Disgusting, they should revoke his Dem card.

[AdamND]

My biggest fear is that Wolfson might leak any campaign dirt to fox.
