Longtime Clinton adviser and confidant Paul Begala took full aim at Mark Penn on Friday, expressing scorn for the recently demoted strategist, and comparing his time with the Clinton campaign to that of Donald Rumsfeld’s tenure as Secretary of Defense.

And he is not even fired. He has been demoted. How could this be

I recognize that as a ‘rat, Begala is not used to deep thought.   However, by Begala’s logic, such as it is, if Penn is Rove, then Mrs. Clinton is George W. Bush.
