Hillary Hires Coke Marketing Exec [Trying to sell Hillary]

Hillary Hires Coke Marketing Exec Who Claimed to Be 'Blood Brothers' With Bill

".......The Wall Street Journal confirms that Clark indeed has taken an unpaid leave of absence from Coke. "Coca-Cola Co. North American Marketing Chief Wendy Clark is taking a leave of absence and is expected to advise potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton , according to people familiar with the matter," the paper writes......

Interestingly, the hiring of a corporate marketing executive is something Hillary has tried before. In her 2000 Senate run from New York, the then-first lady hired a man named Dwight Jewson, who helped make Doritos (and Taco Bell!) popular.

As Michael Tomasky wrote in his book Hillary's Turn: "[Dwight] Jewson is the head of a consulting firm called Strategic Frameworking, based outside Seattle. Strategic Frameworking's clients were, by 2000, mostly corporate--the firm helped the Frito-Lay Corporation figure out how to sell Doritos, developed and introduced Red Wolf Beer, and marketed the Taco Bell Value Menu. But Jewson had a political pedigree. He, like [Mark] Penn, had once worked in New York for David Garth--in fact, he and Penn had worked on campaigns together. One of his areas of concentration over the years had been the emotional and psychological terrain of politics. He had led a study in 1996 about voters' emotional attachments to the parties that examined how the Republicans had won voters over on an emotional level in 1994, and how Clinton had won them back in 1996. His expertise, in other words, was exactly what Hillary's campaign needed."

But the political professionals didn't exactly welcome Jewson in to the fold. It remains to be seen whether Clark's transition from corporate work into politics will be more smooth.

I think “New” Hillary will be a lot like “Classic” Hillary.

Dan Lassiter of Mena. Arkansas by any chance? He was a coke tycoon pal of Bubba's (and probably hers, too) back in the day!

Jennifer Flowers quotes Clinton to have offered her cocaine, and to have said that he uses so much that his "head itches." These revelations were made by Flowers in a publication which paid for her story. She had been ignored by the national media when she came forward with her accusations that she and Clinton were sex partners. Clinton denied that he had sexual relations with Flowers until he was backed into a corner where admission was his only option. Among Clinton's close Arkansas associates is the notorious Dan Lassiter, a drug dealer rumored to have been the main drug supplier to Clinton. The mainstream press has never directly confronted the Clintons about these drug accusations, nor as Clinton sycophants, would I expect that they will. Embarrassing questions for the Clintons may surface however, compelled by a frank and honest admission by candidate Bush, that he experimented with the drug 28 or so years ago as a young man. ...

One of Hillary's standout qualifications (/snort) is that
she gallantly stood by him when Billy got lubed in the
Oval Office by a young intern...who Hillary later
vilified as a "stalker."


MEMORY LANE Hillary has a cute way of bouncing out of
trouble. When Billy got lewinskied in the Oval Office,
Hillary's sub rosa political ambitions were in deep doo-doo.
What to do? Easy. Blame it on conservatives.

Hill went on network TV---the go-to when a Dim is in trouble.
She was all decked out in virginal pearls and blamed
Billy's B/J on the "VRWC."
