This is just getting sadder and sadder. The overt political takeover of a prominent and respected, even loved, womans' health organization for political purposes.

Quote:
Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for George W. Bush and prominent right-wing pundit, secretly helped guide Komen Foundation’s disastrous strategy regarding Planned Parenthood.

Fleischer personally interviewed candidates for the position of “Senior Vice President for Communications and External Relations” at Komen last December.

According to a source with first-hand knowledge, Fleischer drilled prospective candidates during their interviews on how they would handle the controversy about Komen’s relationship with Planned Parenthood.

Fleischer’s relationship with Komen and the Planned Parenthood controversy was previously undisclosed.
