Btw, this seems unfair to me.


EXCLUSIVE: ROSEN FIASCO EXTENDS W.H. GENDER WARS - Per a senior Dem: "Serious Dem operatives are aghast at Hilary Rosen's misguided attack on Ann Romney's work history. She and others at PR firm SKD Knickerbocker have represented many clients that have raised hackles with senior White House staff. It's an open secret in the Dem consultant community that SKD has been signing up clients based on 'perceived White House access' tied to prior relationships and employment. An example is the Gerson Lehrman Group, the NY based international firm that is a broker for consultants to the business community, but there are many others. ...

"A sure sign of WH displeasure is the strong and fast repudiation of Rosen's remarks by David Axelrod and other staffers. Rosen's [initial] refusal to apologize in the face of a WH request to do so was seen by senior aides as a maddening example of political freelancing and self-promotion that only undermines the president and his re-election effort .... Remember when Anita Dunn made a splash about the 'male dominated' WH? She and Hillary are pitching clients at SKD together. Hilary's refusal to cowtow to the (so far) male voices in the WH and campaign trying to rein her in is a continuation of those WH gender wars."
