Multitasking In The Modern GOP
0 commentsGOP hotshot Jeff Larson is padding his resumé:
Sarah Palin’s Personal Shopper.
John McCain's Personal Dialer.
Norm Coleman's Personal Landlord (oh, and Norm's Personal Dialer, too!)
Karl Rove's longtime B.F.F."... For a time, there was a blurb on the FLS [Larson's robo-dialing firm] website from none other than über-strategist Karl Rove, a friend and colleague of Larson's. 'I know these guys well. They become partners with the campaigns they work with. From designing the program to drafting scripts; from selecting targets to making the calls in a professional, successful way, they work as hard to win your races as you do.'
Larson has worked himself into the highest echelons of Republican politics from the dregs of the political hierarchy. His first job in politics was as a driver for Bud Westman, a man vying for a North Dakota Senate seat. Within weeks Larson was Westman's deputy campaign manager. Westman lost and Larson moved on. In 1984 he was working the re-election campaign for the state's governor. After another loss, he made an incongruous leap to executive director of the Delaware Republican Party. Incongruous leaps became Larson's thing. Next he was a Republican National Committee field agent under Lee Atwater."
A resumé any mother's son would be proud to post on Monster!
