Cheney’s Flack
by digby
They really don’t get it, do they?
Under threat of receivership and criminal investigation for its destruction of the Gulf of Mexico, foreign oil giant BP has hired a former top aide for Vice President Dick Cheney to be their new spokeswoman. Anne Womack-Kolton has been hired to be “head of U.S. media relations.” A rising star in the Bush-Cheney White House since the 2000 campaign, Womack-Kolton served as Cheney’s press secretary during the 2004 election before running public affairs in the Bush Department of Energy.
Just the optics alone are bad.
Our business leaders are so inept that I’m becoming more than a little bit alarmed. They think they can do anything if they have the right public relations — but they can’t even do that right.
