Can anyone say conflict interest? Ironman makes it easy to connect the dots. Louisiana, you lose.
One of the top media consultants for British Petroleum gave free rent to a politician who became White House Chief of Staff.
No, the recipient of the favor was Rahm Emanuel and the benefactor was Stanley Greenberg.
Stanley Greenberg is an interesting guy. He is married to CT Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Grrenberg is the principal of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a large polling and public relations firm. They do both political campaign work and “corporate communications” work.
The DCCC has paid Greenberg’s firm in excess of $500,000 during the 2006 and 2008 election cycles. They are also Dick Blumenthal’s pollster.
But let’s look at the corporate side, where Mr. Greenberg promises to ”help corporations increase competitiveness and profitability, improve reputation, and take advantage of global trends.”
Who are they helping? British Petroleum
Greenberg Quinlan Rosner helped BP plan and evaluate its successful re-branding campaign, focusing the company’s branding on energy solutions, including the development of solar and other renewable energy sources.
Let’s see what the honest Left thinks about Stan Greenberg’s work on behalf of the worst corporate polluter in American history. He’s been accused of being one of the top “greenwashers” out there. BP is charged with spending over $200 million on efforts to assert alleged environmental consciousness. (Meantime they cut corners to save money on the Deepwater Horizon) It’s been called “greenwashing of epic proportions” Obviously, BP would rather spend money on high priced DC PR consultants than on boring stuff like oil drilling safety.
And Stan Greenberg was the mastermind for BP’s faux concern.
So when Nancy Pelosi starts pointing fingers about the oil disaster, maybe she can look a little closer to home. Like to her loyal ally Rosa DeLauro and her husband, who profited immensely peddling the fiction BP cared about the environment.
via BP’s strange Democrat bedfellows. So much corruption, what’s next for the unprepared POTUS? Let’s not forget DeLauro’s ties to Monsanto either.

McN,
This is a stunning development. Your post belongs on the front page of every newspaper in the free world. But we know the story won’t even make it to the back page of the classifieds.
I thought DeLauro’s husband also had something to do with Monsanto???
