We've already reported on the September issue of The Atlantic and its look into Burson-Marsteller CEO Mark Penn's involvement in the Hillary Clinton campaign stretching back to 2003.
One gem that may have been overlooked in the memos and emails featured in the story is this quote from Penn, noted by Computerworld:
A word about being human. Bill Gates once asked me, "could you make me more human?" I said "being human is overrated."
Says a Computerworld commenter: "Assuming what Mark Penn says is truthful, which is always a huge assumption, how much does Bill Gates appreciate Penn advertising what should have been a private discussion? And how many other private conversations with Gates or with other Burson-Marsteller clients has Mark Penn blabbed about?"
