U.S.C.C.B.'s New Spokesperson, a Thankless Task?

Bobby Kennedy worked for Joe McCarthy and lived it down. Good luck with Daniels shaking away from Palin. Resume is a resume. .

I just don't understand why the USCCB would hire her for this job. She's a political operative. That's how the conservative Catholic media understands her as well. You have to conclude that the choice was political.

"What would you write if someone served as a political adviser to VP Joe Biden and then was employed by, say, Call to Action, and then was appointed by the USCCB?" That they're probably very good at their job. I have a close friend who worked in Democratic politicians in various capacities, and is now a lobbyist for our Bishop's conference. I have no doubt that he is probably a Democrat, and that I probably disagree with him on more than a few issues. But there is no question that he is very good at what he does and ought to be doing it. Working for people I politically disagree with seems an awfully thin ground on which to object to them getting a job. Moreover, lawyers get paid to take positions for their clients that they themselves may not agree with. But the real question is what YOU would say about it.
