Clark Hiring "Masters of Disaster" - Tell him to keep it clean! [View All]

[VaLabor]

DISCLAIMER: I'm a Dean supporter that could go to Clark but having reservations about his experience level and his flipfloppiness on the war...

Okay, Mark Fabiani is being quoted as a Clark "spokesman". Fabiani was Gore's deputy campaign manager for communications, so he'll probably reprise that role for Clark.

And remember Chris Lehane, who I called an asshole yesterday? Remember how I hoped he wouldn't end up on the Clark campaign, because he was such an asshole?

Well, Lehane and Fabiani are business partners. In fact, they are known as the "Masters of Disaster", specializing in public relations damage control. With campaigns, their MO is to create such disasters -- for their opponents, by tearing them down. They did it to Bradley on Gore's behalf. They worked for Gray Davis and Garry South (masters of sleaze themselves).

That's why Lehane quit the Kerry campaign -- because Kerry wasn't aggressive enough confronting Dean's rising star (though ironically, it was Lehane's early attacks against Dean that helped raise Dean's stature).

Now with his Fabiani near the top of Clark's organization, it shouldn't be long before Lehane is working right alongside him.

Now, folks, let's make sure this stays clean. No personal attacks on candidates.

Send a letter to the Clark people making this clear. Here's a sample for Dean supporters leaning Clark:

I am excited about your entry into the campaign and am considering supporting you. I've been in Dean's camp for a few months. If you want my support, do not allow Fabiani (and Lehane if he joins your team) to engage in attacks meant to tear down other Democratic candidates personally or politically.

If your team attacks Dean or any other candidate the way they attacked Bradley, I'm switching back to Dean. If they play nice, I'm in your camp. Please understand and allow me to be very clear about this.

Keep your honor, keep your dignity and most of all... keep it clean.


Here's a sample for current Clark supporters:

I support you now and I am excited about your entry into the campaign. If you want my continued support, do not allow Fabiani (and Lehane if he joins your team) to engage in attacks meant to tear down other Democratic candidates personally or politically.

If your team attacks Dean or any other candidate the way they attacked Bradley, I'm switching back to Dean. If they play nice, I'm in your camp. Please understand and allow me to be very clear about this.

Keep your honor, keep your dignity and most of all... keep it clean.
