Mark Penn, Karen Hughes Team Up On Corporate Crisis Group

July 9, 2008 08:22 AM

The Wall Street Journal reports
Two hard-charging political operatives are teaming up to create a bipartisan consulting organization to advise corporations in crisis -- as they work to burnish their own reputations as well.

Former Clinton strategist Mark Penn, chairman and CEO of public-relations firm Burson-Marsteller, is hiring former Bush adviser Karen Hughes as a vice chairman, the principals say. The political combatants, known for their partisan efforts, decided to combine forces to offer a one-stop crisis-communication and public-affairs shop to corporations caught in front-page headlines or faced with a changing Washington.

Associated Press
Mark Penn, right, former Clinton strategist, is hiring former Bush adviser Karen Hughes in pursuit of bipartisan success at Burson-Marsteller.

And Al From? It's the standard former-big-shot try-for-a-comeback thing to do.

Edit: and who can forget Dick "toe-sucker" Morris?
