Wal-Mart All Star Collectible Cards: Leslie Dach

In the wake of Wal-Mart’s massive anti-union political scandal that broke late last week, we decided to release a new Wal-Mart All Star Collectible card: Leslie Dach, Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Government Relations.

As Jeffrey Goldberg points out, Dach was hired by Wal-Mart to convince Democrats to like the company. Wal-Mart, the born-and-raised red state company, has traditionally had a hard time with liberals, and Dach was brought in to win them over.

Leslie came to Wal-Mart from Edelman Public Relations, the company still responsible for most of Wal-Mart’s PR work. While there, “he led the Washington D.C. office, the company’s research, advertising, and corporate social responsibility consulting divisions and its global public affairs, crisis, technology, and healthcare practices.” He can spin with the best of them, but more important than his ability to doublespeak, Leslie Dach has serious Democrat cred. From Wal-Mart’s website:

    Leslie has been active as a strategist in Democratic politics and worked in senior positions in a number of presidential campaigns, including as a senior advisor for communications for the Democratic National Committee in 2004 and managing the program at the 2000 Democratic Convention. He served the Clinton administration in a variety of project capacities, including special advisor to the National Security Advisor during the Kosovo conflict. Leslie was also a lobbyist for the National Audubon Society and Environmental Defense, and the special assistant to the chairman of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee.

If Wal-Mart really wants to win over Democratic consumers, maybe the company should stop badmouthing Democratic candidates to its entire workforce. What does Wal-Mart’s recent Obama-bashing mean for Mr. Dach? Will his work appealing to sentimental liberals get flushed down the drain by the retailer’s political bullying? How can a self-proclaimed Democrat work for a company so blatantly un-Democratic? And what will it take for Democrats to look past the hype?

-Ode from the Sleazebag Dach-

How fair are thy women board members
their numbers but few,
Oh Susan thy memos rejoice me
downsized old bags due.

Youthful conscripted locked within
economy miracles Ernesto unt Juan,
Elaine of the labor
the choicest of pawn.

Oh Hillary Oh Hillary
the dust bin you say,
so quiet to kill him
Freudian return to another day.

Time is but narrow
the sun bleeds your life,
Bill won’t endorse him
but talks with the knife.

Darling of the Orient
my beloved WalMart,
stabbed middle America
right through the heart.

Edelman my companion
balance the brink,
give PR wings to live
aroma therapy for stink.

Since at least ‘anonymous’ is on a crapflooding poetry bender, how about another contest?

-Note from the Past-

Oh Hillary Oh Hillary
fairest queen of the beast,
bring corporate amusements
or evil at least.

Oh Hillary Oh Hillary
your RFK crime,
while America is napping
now is the time!

You prophetess of Harlem
your instincts gave clue,
not to analogy
but what you would do.

Bill sends up the river
the team of the hurts,
to do a young man
just like he was Kurtz.

I’m losing my country
lets advertise fake fear,
lay the ground work
in America’s ear.

Precondition the people
‘Crime from the Bankers!’,
no one will suspect
the Arkansas wankers.

I don’t understand the above two posts, however what I don’t understand is this:  doesn’t the SEIU also have many members who are independent and also might vote republican?  If so and I am sure you have many such in your union.  Then why does SEIU take their unions dues and spend about $3,000,000.00 or more on promoting Obama?

Leslie came to Wal-Mart from Edelman Public Relations...

What more needs to be said? Can you imagine the Bentonville vetting process that resulted in hiring Dach? I see it as the bar room scene from Roger Rabbit.

What’s good for Wal-Mart is BAD for America!

I don’t understand the above two posts...

You’ve been gone for awhile, Sage (BTW, welcome back)—it’s SVD who was obviously inspried by some poet who has been making the rounds at WMW, recently.

...doesn’t the SEIU also have many members who are independent and also might vote republican?

Probably so—just like the recent flap with WM’s take on the upcoming elections—you’ve got ‘em on both sides.

Then why does SEIU take their unions dues and spend about $3,000,000.00 or more on promoting Obama?

Truth be told, Sage, if a stuffed teddy bear was the Democratic nominee for President, the SEIU probably would’ve spent the $3 million on him, too.

unions should not be using members dues money to support politicians political campaigns

True, but that’s been happening for way too long, already…

“I don’t understand the above two posts, however what I don’t understand is this”

However...implies that you actually do Sage. Like the fact you still owe the $200 as a donation to WMW for the bet you lost from your Ron Paul hallucinations here on this blog awhile back, remember Sage? Or conveniently not?

Here, let me get you a little Mark Twain for your WalMart/Edelman ‘war room’ internet troll/fake/fraud return.

“It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.”
Mark Twain

(btw) The WalMart propaganda guild and ‘war room’ frauds are late by about 10 days in the resurrection and return of the Sage. Right bbrd?

OK;

I’ve given you a day;

On this infernal invention - the Infernal Machine.

So I’m reading the paper;

Of Detroit.

And me sees this cnc cheap metal riveted unable to invent heat recapture tumbler turners machine -

Exhaust (heat rising); adding to tesla.

And so

(scientist only now);

I wonder why so heavy;

And wonder why not three machines;

Each adding to the other at half the weight;

With magnetics in-between.

Some day;

So Eduardo Castro Wright;

A leader amongst men;

I was reading usa today;

August 11th; Page 9A.

And below the fold I saw it;

An advertisement for a golf-course;

And man with a hemiarthroplasty;

Many vowels.

And I wondered;

Yet eyes;

If I should teach him what I’ve;

Beeing sooo sooo old;

That hope;

Is the only thing;

That matters.

Perhaps I’ll take his crutch;

invent the transition bucket;

Take the lower portion of the stainless crutch;

Turn it into titanium;

Give him a little hgh;

So his eyes remain as clear;

And as hopeful;

And as werary;

On page 9a.
