Google hired Dan Senor as VP of communications. According to Search Engine Watch, Senor "recently served as advisor to the US presidential envoy in Iraq", which is a polite way of saying he was a PR apparatchik, paid by my government to go on my television and feed me happy lies. I have come to associate his triangular, brush-cut head with an unceasing stream of bullshit. He's Ari Fleischer without the charm.

It's understandable for Google to avoid Microsoft's experience of neglecting Washington until circumstances forced them to build a lobbying operation overnight, but hiring this guy is a repulsive move. 11:22AM «
