Birthday Present from HRC
Top Clinton Aide Leaving His Post Under Pressure [NYT]
ALBUQUERQUE — Mark Penn, the pollster who has advised Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1996, stepped down under pressure on Sunday as the chief political strategist for Mrs. Clinton’s struggling presidential campaign after his private business arrangements again clashed with her campaign positions.
Yay!
Unbirthday present from the NYT:
A statement from Maggie Williams, the campaign manager, and comments from aides suggested that Mr. Penn voluntarily stepped aside, but other knowledgeable aides said that Mrs. Clinton was furious when she learned of the Colombia talks and insisted on Mr. Penn’s demotion. Mr. Clinton concurred in that judgment, aides said.
One presumes the media will be reporting on Mrs Obama and Mrs McCain opinions about their husbands’ next moves, as well.

I dunno, given that Penn worked on Bill Clinton’s 96 campaign as well, I think it’s valid to include his thoughts on Penn’s conduct.
