I really am shocked at Penn's comments about his role with the Clinton campaign. It sounds like he is convinced the campaign will fail and he is looking to distance himself from the fallout.

His statement isn't very convincing, though. Penn is one of the most respected campaign strategists in America. For him to say he isn't really doing much and doesn't have any authority strikes me as totally implausible, particularly since he is so highly compensated. Why would a guy like that agree to a meaningless position on a campaign, when it could hurt his reputation if things go badly?
