Shorter Lanny Davis: “President Obama — no matter what anybody else says, tonight you need to do what you did in your highly successful first debate performance, only more so. If you show any signs of life, Rick Perry will be happy to mix you a double of his famous Ambien and Tito’s Vodka cocktail.”

And reach out to Todd Akin on the rape issue . . .
Holy shit:
“For example, you could say you regret not making a greater effort to break the logjam of the supercommittee on dealing with the then $15 trillion debt. You could say you wished you had done more to reach out to the Senate and House Republicans on the committee and intend to do so in your next term — and to do a better job seeking the counsel of senior Republicans who are, in fact, interested in achieving solutions and bipartisan consensus, particularly on making real progress on reducing the nation’s unsustainable national debt, such as Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) and Orrin Hatch (Utah).”
The real comedy comes in the author description, though:
“He currently serves as special counsel to Dilworth Paxson and is a partner with former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele in Purple Nation Solutions, a public affairs-strategic communications company.”
And if you visit http://www.purplenationsolutions.com/ you’ll find that:
“Rather than operating in the traditional model, Purple Nation Solutions takes a new multi-disciplinary approach to a client’s needs. We integrate law, media, and politics with our extensive bipartisan networks providing clients with a full service public affairs, lobbying, and crisis management firm. For those who need the privilege of legal counsel, we maintain a seamless strategic alliance with the law firm Lanny J. Davis & Associates.”
It’s just one great big circle of grifting. Impressive, in its way.

They are really leveraging the synergies.
Into a whole new motherfucking paradigm.
And that paradigm’s mother, who is a two-bit whore, is even tired of getting fucked by Lanny.
They structure their hermeneutics to action their consciousness for agencies of social totality.
In an impactful manner.
Doesn’t this description apply equally well to an organized crime operation? The old-school kind that has government and corporate connections, I mean, not the new gang-based model.
the privilege of legal counsel
Ah, back to legal counsel being a “privilege.” Says a lot there.
In this case ‘multi-disciplinary’ clearly means able to reach into every pocket the client has and ‘seamlessly’ means reaching into all those pockets without the client waking up.
Naw, ‘seamlessly’ means that all the cash goes directly into the pockets of Lanny J Davis and friends, without having to muck around with any referals or quid pro quo business arrangements with other firms and consultants.
Yeah, “multidisciplinary” means never having to share the money.
While this is true, I also imagine that they will deliver for their clients. The simple fact is that for many large businesses, paying a good lobbyists is one of the best investments you can make.
Mock him as he deserves, but Davis appears to be good at his job.
Yes, he is living very well by combining two business concepts:
- there’s a sucker born every minute, and,
- never give a sucker an even break.
Not his fault we elect a bunch of suckers to Congress.
I thought it meant that any crook or war criminal who wants to talk about their crimes just need to wait a few minutes until Lanny walks into the room.
This is witless in two complementary ways. On the one hand, Obama is supposed to dial down his demeanor in order not to heighten the differences between the two sides, and on the other he’s supposed to adopt the counsel of senior Republicans on the merits. If that’s the advice to be followed, why not follow its logic to a more natural conclusion, ie, Obama should concede the election in a “respectful” way, leaving Romney to take over and adopt that sage counsel? What’s the point of an election if you don’t point out the differences between the two candidates and even get excited about it?
I’m curious why Lanny Davis is
even relevant anymoreclaiming that his advice and the advice of going after Romney harder are somehow independent and untenable together?After all, one can raise the 47% issue and do it both respectfully AND forcefully. Indeed, Obama’s done this with his comment (periphrased) “You can’t President half the country.” A gem of a comeback, and yet, it’s not condescending or harsh.
As to admitting he’s made mistakes, Obama has and I’m sure he has no problem doing that in this format.
Ultimately, I think the last debate caught him flatfooted, fresh off the nonsense in Libya and Romney’s baldfaced lying took advantage of that moment. Obama’s got the chops to take him apart and then make Romney make his own mistakes.
Yeah, that was totally inappropriate. Taking notes and looking at your pad while you took notes. What were you thinking, Mr. President? Were you raised in a barn?
Gosh, taking advice from supporters of your opponent! I can’t see a problem with THAT.
Here is the only useful thing Lanny Davis has ever done, outing G.W. (“Oedipal Issues”) Bush. Sadly, I seem to be the only person who noticed.
