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."

This is very appropriate for Wolfson who towards the end of Clinton's campaign didn't even try to be subtle about his Rovian style tactics.
And with Hillary's kissing up to Murdoch and Richard Scaife, this will be a nice fit for him.

Wolfson, Davis, McAwful, Geraldine and Hillary. All will be comfortable on Fox with their smearing, fact bending, out right lying, ruthlessness and biased commentary.

Gearing up for 2012. This bunch has not given up on the Hillary coronation. Just moved on to the next phase.
They will continue to undermine Obama but will have to be really subtle about how they go about it and subtlety in not one of their better attributes.

This guy always reminded me of a greasy toupée salesman. Just looking at him gives me the creeps.

[mistlesuede]

I always had the same reaction!

[nativeeyes]

Judas!!!! Wolfson on Faux News, who knew??

The Obama train will runneth over him too!!! Chooo Choo!!

[MariaHopeful]

I am shocked! Shocked that it took this long to announce it. Over there he can continue the grand plan of undermining Obama so that it can create an opening to make HC the nominee.

[CostaMesaJoe]

Oh lookey, another "disinterested" observer from the Clinton campaign finding the warm embrace of Fox News.

What a joke that network is........­..........

[FogBelter]

Lanny Davis to Fox and then Howard Wolfson ... a stealthy way for the Clinton's to poison the Obama well water? I guess we will find out soon enough.

[mom2sons]

Come on now, do you really think so? Glad he's showing his true colors, that's why he is not joining the O-Team. Fits in right well with the other criminals.

[Roopez123]

Are we shocked by this? The Clinton agenda has and is till to make sure Obama doesn't win the election. Wolfson to Fox is just another link in the chain.

[suecr]

Doesn't that say alot...he is preparing himself to sit with the other Fox losers & throw stones at Obama-so he can jump back in with Clinton in 2012...Doesn't this guy have any pride? Why Fox (I guess the other more reputable news organizations were not interested in being a Clinton shill).

Rove/Wolfson/Lanny Davis...losers of the world unite!!!!!
Macauliffe shouldn't be too far behind.

I had to take a shower after reading about all the pond-scum @Fox news!

[EspressoAtNoon]

I do find it interesting that all those Clinton surrogates and campaign spokespeople seem to fit in very well with what FoxNews is doing: Geraldine Ferraro, Lanny Davis, Howard Wolfson, etc..

It does say something about where Clintoniism is heading ->> towards the likes of Karl Rove and the FoxNews team.

[wilburr0g]

Agreed. Hillary wasn't running for a third Clinton term, she was running for a sixth ClintonBush term. The two are practicaIly identical as far as cronyism, influence peddling, and general sleaziness are concerned. As Andrew Sullivan says, we dodged a bullet.

Ouch! Great insight!!

[rationalthought1]

Gee, what a surprize! Fox news is becoming a reuniting of Clinton surrogates. Watching Lanny Davis flail about in Rove's kitchen is a pathetic sight, indeed. They all seemed so nspired by Rove in their dirty, divisive techniques during the primary. Now the Wolfman can join them, too. This will only add to the coiling mass of that right wing and pseudo-right wing viper pit.

[naschkatze]

And let's not forget about Mark Penn's connections with the likes of Blackwater.

[ajax2]

Wasn't he always a right wing Fox?

[LeftHandedBrain]

I just wish all of the writers of these articles would quit calling this organization fox "news"! Please, news means facts, and fox never uses facts.

[SmellyOne]

LeftHandedBrain, here's what's ironic... YOU are NOT using FACTS when you say "fox never uses facts". It's a fallacy that Fox doesn't use facts. YOU are less factual than Fox. That's irony.

[doctorwang]

I agree, oh smellyone. Fox does use facts........of course they twist those facts in order to promote their own neocon agenda. Why now they're even performing the same type of manipulation with photographs! (that Douchey is a clever one!)

[steamboat]

Along with Lanny Davis, another great pick-up for FOXNEWS

[barackobama4prez]

He can definitely give his thoughts on a losing campaign.

[haleywins]

As if any Fox viewer will pay attention to anything he says. Sellout.
