Sarah Palin has added veteran Republican strategist Michael Glassner to serve as COS for her political action committee, Sarah PAC. Glassner, an attorney and longtime adviser to former Kansas senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole, has signed on to steer the former Alaska governor's political operation as she considers a possible 2012 presidential bid. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Glassner managed her vice presidential operations.
ITEM Michael Glassner's work for Dole AND McCain does not denote a man of principle.
ITEM Michael Glassner served as counselor to NY/NJ Port Authority Chairman Lewis M. Eisenberg.
ITEM Eisenberg was one of the first to introduce pro-abortion policies into the Repub Party---was he a stalking horse for the dreaded neocons?
ITEM For many years, Mr. Eisenberg was a partner of Goldman Sachs & Co
ITEM The IRS has targeted govt authorities as the locus classicus for govt fraud. The NY/NJ/PA was fingered as one of THE most corrupt govt agencies.
ITEM Eisenberg served on New York Gov George Pataki's transition team and was a key advisor to New Jersey Gov Christine Whitman (both of them not known as staunch conservatives).
=========================================
REFERENCE After years w/ GS, in 1990, Eisenberg founded Granite Capital International Group, an investment management company headquartered in NYC. Mr. Eisenberg also served from 1995-2001 as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the NY/NJ Port Authority. The Port Authority is the owner of the World Trade Center, and Mr. Eisenberg led the agency through the first three months of recovery and clean-up after the 911 terrorist attacks. He was recently named a member of New York's Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Authority, which will spearhead the rebuilding of Ground Zero.
Eisenberg's community and charitable activities include leadership in health and healthcare related institutions. He is on the Planning Board of UJA/United Jewish Federation.
Mr. Eisenberg was once elected Finance Chairman of the RNC. He raised millions of dollars for the Republican Party and Republican candidates.
Eisenberg’s support for Republicans appears to be limited..... He also writes checks to liberal Democrats like Walter Mondale, Dick Gephardt, Tim Wirth, Chris Dodd, Bruce Babbitt, Joe Biden, and others.
She didn’t hire Eisenberg. It also seems Glassner won’t be in any policy-making position, just organizational.
Thanks for the imfo, Liz. I have been hearing more and more about this.
Glassner’s a Jew, too. I hope you don’t have a problem with Jews.
Maybe Sarah Palin will cause Lewis M. Eisenberg to have a moment of epiphany and change his pro abortion thinking. Remember, “A moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers.”
We have to consider that Eisenberg has raised millions of dollars for the Republican party. Also, he has strong ties to the Jewish community, being one of the Republican Jewish Coalition’s vice chairs. What this all comes down to is why kick a gift horse in the mouth?
Did she hire Glassner or Eisenberg?
Looks like she hired Glassner.
She hired Glassner as CoS for her *SarahPAC*.
Eisenberg rants are all yours...lol. You’re the only one mentioning him as though it’s a Paul Revere moment. *Not*.
Keep your friemds close, and keep your enemies closer.
