As Gawker points out, this comical footnote is the douchiest possible way Mark Penn — or anyone, ever — could have ended his Wall Street Journal column today. (Oh, yes, he has a regular WSJ column now called… “Microtrends.” His punishment from God is to hawk this dumb book for the rest of his life.) [WSJ, Gawker]

Once again, I am reduced to saying, How the fuck did this douchenozzle get a gig writing anything that anyone is expected to take seriously?
Jeebus.
Not only did that article say nothing relevant, at all, it also attempted to add five new phrases to the English language, all of which fail, miserably, just like Bowser.
If the WSJ continues publishing crap like that, they can burn in Wall Street, like the res’ o’ dem.
Mark Penn’s dick is a Microtrend.
[re=202151]Hamster[/re]: That is his brain. No one knows the size of his dick because it has been hidden by his overhanging belly and pillowy thighs for years.
On a completely other note, Paul Weyrich is the first True Conservative to decide to shuffle off this mortal coil rather then endure the Obamacalypse. Any bets on who is next?
[re=202148]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: The WSJ has turned into a rag ever since Rupert took over & they implemented the tabloid style format.
Anything, if they’re one thing we learned over the election is that Microtrends sucks. I’m much more a John Naisbitt fan
Looks like another exciting Christmas at the Penn residence. Once again it’s he, the dog, and an economy size jar of creamy Skippy.
Once again, I must applaud the fine work Rupert’s doing to turn a once reputable paper into fish wrapping. I give the WSJ 2 weeks before the word “Hizzoner” appears in a headline.
[re=202144]FMA[/re]: How the fuck did this douchenozzle get a gig writing anything that anyone is expected to take seriously?
He didn’t. He got a column in the WSJ instead.
What happened in America before the financial crisis is that we had the fastest expansion of the elite population in history.
Um…a rapidly expanding elite is not an elite, okay?
Also, a microtrend is apparently anything Mark Penn wants to write about in conjunction with pushing his book.
[re=202160]donner_froh[/re]: ahh, thank you. Correction: Mark Penn’s brain is a Microdick …or…whatever, I was just impressed upon by personality–not issues–and lost my train of thought.
Maybe now the Wonkett should FAIL that little WSJ website, whatever it is.
[re=202151]Hamster[/re]: Mark Penn is Envy.
Other Microtrends:
The post-primary PUMA movement.
The approval ratings of Sarah Palin.
The “center-right” electorate.
The cognitive abilities of Mark Penn.
Hasn’t he crept back under a rock yet?
[re=202160]donner_froh[/re]: Is that why he’s a dickhead? HARHARHARHARHAR
[re=202169]Borat[/re]: Luckily I have religiously hated the WSJ since the beginning of time, so the News Corp. takeover didn’t matter.
OT! Breaking! Lizard People disenfranchised! Their vote for Franken thrown out!
But! FSM in the tank for Franken!

[re=202167]NewSpence[/re]: Do you think they are going to bury Weyrich or will simply flushing resolve any disposal issues?
Pages 131 to 135 is actually a naked spread of Mark Penn. Four full pages was the minimum required space to give proper scale to his Markstrosity.
[re=202242]Dramatist[/re]: Please. Not while I’m eating.
I’m sure that all 13 people who haven’t immediately converted their copy of Microtrends into birdcage lining will immediate flip to said section.
[re=202261]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Did you know that the phrase “not while Mark Penn is eating” is a nullity?
[re=202299]norbizness[/re]: Win.
[re=202217]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I knew it was too lowbrow for you – I always knew you were an Investors Business Daily reader. Or maybe you are a man of leisure only needing to read the weekend FT and Barron’s?
microtrends from a microdick
[re=202299]norbizness[/re]: Now that’s not true! I actually saw him speak once and his mouth was empty!
Of course, he was ordering dinner…
Is Mark Penn suggesting that the majority of super rich, elites in the US are voting Democratic?
