I Wanna Know What Loven Is (I Want You To Show Me)
August 12th, 2010 at 7:40 pm by BrianIt’s not like we didn’t know what Loven was a long time ago:
From the May 9, 2009 White House Correspondents Dinner:
Jennifer Loven -
“Seriously, there are those who think this center (the WHCA) has really outlived its purpose. That it makes us in the press too cozy with those we cover. That the relationship with those of us covering The White House and those in it are too easily manipulated.
So, as your President of this Association, I plan to address all of those concerns tonight just as soon as Robert Gibbs spoon feeds me my dinner.”
Once spoonfed, now she holds the spoon. Out of the mouths of Not-Babes accidentally slips the truth (via Brent Baker at NewsBusters).
Jennifer Loven, an 18-year AP veteran and the wire service’s chief White House correspondent, has decided to put her communications talents to work for The Glover Park Group, a DC-based “strategic communications firm” founded in 2001 by a bunch of Clinton and Gore staffers, most prominently Joe Lockhart, who found themselves unemployed after the 2000 election. She’ll be “Managing Director in its Public Affairs practice,” a Thursday press release from the Glover Park Group, plugged by Politico’s Mike Allen, announced.
She’s the second President in a row of the White House Correspondents’ Association to leave journalism for a left-wing, or at least left-leaning, lobbying outfit. In June, Bloomberg’s White House reporter, Ed Chen, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, jumped to the Natural Resources Defense Council as Federal Communications Director. (My complete Obama-journalism revolving door list.) Loven held the WHCA position for 2008-2009 and was succeeded by Chen.
It’s not a “revolving door” Brent – it’s a revolving sweat stained mattress. If we held Loven under a blacklight she would glow like Chernobyl.
At least now she’s being paid to be the outspoken liberal she has always been vs. the pretend objective reporter that she’s never been.

OMG, NIIIIIIICE screen shot of Jenny. Should have included her in that video of Conservative Women vs. Liberal Women.
“Who let the dogs out! Woof! Woof!”
(That’s all I got. Brian took all of the best lines already…as usual)

She’s kind of rocking that Audrey Griswold from National Lampoon’s European Vacation look.

C’mon, Brian… Admit it… You’d hit ‘dat after a few Cosmopolitans.

A good reason to take the pledge. It falls into the category of “I wouldn’t f**k her with YOUR d**k!” THAT is what I LOVE about this website! The audacity of exposure!

Cosmos may be Cranky’s department. I’m more of a Fat Tire / Crown & Coke kind of guy.
Besides, she’s very environmentally conscious. It would never work what with all the brown paper bags and rubbers I’d need.

Funny Brian. Even at my expense, that’s d**m funny.

Oh, Cranky. It’s at your expense because you can afford it!
Philadelphia is culturally rich with the Rodin Museum, the Franklin Institute, the Mutter, etc., etc.
Nashville has a historic honky tonk, one of Elvis’ pink cadillacs and gets excited about a Chihuly visit.
We’re a simple folk not accustomed to those epicurean ways.
Just kidding. We’ve had half a dozen high-end cocktail bars open in the last year in one part of town alone. What we lack in class, we make up for in big city penis envy.
