Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention

Posted by kdawson on from the what-were-they-thinking dept.

An anonymous reader sends us to Boing Boing for a report that "the Director of Communications for the RIAA, Jenni Engebretsen, has been appointed Deputy CEO for Public Affairs for the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Denver." The DNC site has the official press release. Cory Doctorow notes that the RIAA is the most hated "corporation" in America, having beaten out Halliburton and Wal-Mart for the honor, and writes for the DNC's attention, "This represents a potential shear with the left-wing blogosphere."

    I stopped reading when I saw "blogosphere"...
    "Blogosphere" was the last word in the writeup, so you stopped reading at the last word.

    Way to stick it to the man.

    I'd say, "Let's have a Slashdot poll," but I'm afraid I'd wake up in 2009 to find Cowboy Neal laughing his ass off from behind the podium ...

    How many butterflies would I have to stomp on to keep that from happening?

    Well, our tanks rolled into Poland today, and let me tell you, it went even better than I thought it would. Got a bunch of military stuff to handle tonight, so I can't post much for a few days, but it let me just say, I expect a lot more Vaterland and a lot less Juden, if you know what I mean ;-)
