Know Your Enemy

Here she is. Merrie Spaeth. I wish I could have run her picture with this, but I could not steal it off her website.

This puppy-eating PR bitch is behind the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth." And if that was not enough to ensure a lengthy tenure in hell, it also turns out she was behind that disgusting attack on Senator John McCain during the 2000 Republican primary. In South Carolina, it was that he had "a black daughter." Actually, she is adopted, and, uh, Indian, which I guess in South Carolina counts as black.

Here's her bio:

Merrie Spaeth has a unique background in media, government, politics, business and the entertainment industry. She is a pioneer in communication theory and executive training, and is acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent crisis management strategists in the country.

Merrie founded Dallas-based Spaeth Communications, Inc. in 1987. The Firm provides communication training and consulting for a wide range of companies and institutions. She is also the founder and president of the Institute for Strategic Communications, a not-for-profit foundation devoted to studying and reporting on business communication issues.

Merrie served as a White House Fellow and was assigned to FBI Director William Webster. She was the first Fellow and one of the first two women on the director’s staff. After the FBI, she served two years at the Federal Trade Commission as director of public affairs, and in 1984, President Ronald Reagan named her director of media relations at the White House. Merrie introduced satellite communications to the White House, and the electronic White House News Service. One newspaper headline said she “took the White House into the Space Age.”

She has worked in every area of print and electronic media. She’s been a radio and television talk show host, a reporter and writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer and the New York Daily News, and a producer for ABC’s “20/20.” Family Weekly (later USA Today Sunday Magazine) for several years featured her weekly column on personal finance and investing called “Your Finances.” Her first book Marketplace Communication (MasterMedia) is a collection of her commentaries on “Marketplace,” the daily business show on public radio stations across the country. Today, she writes a weekly column for UPI on communication challenges facing businesses, and she is a regular commentator on public radio and television.

Nothing good can ever come from Dallas. Keep that in mind. Oh, and despite the Swift Boat Veterans saying they have no tie to the White House, and the White House disavowing anything part in the planning or delivery of this disgusting ad, please note that Spaeth, who also drinks baby kitten blood, was a White House fellow under Reagan and has very very close ties to the Republican Party.

It's witch bitches like Spaeth who gives PR the dirty name it deserves.
