Dana Perino gets hired

Hey, vixen!

Former Bush administration spokeswoman Dana Perino — lately a denizen of cable news green rooms and impossible lunches with wistful journalists — is joining former Clinton adviser Mark Penn at public relations firm Burson-Marsteller. Her job is “chief issues counselor,” notes the WSJ:

Ms. Perino, 36 years old, likely will focus on communications strategies for clients in the looming Washington policy debates over issues such as energy, climate change and health care. She may also develop business among newer defense and technology firms.

Penn, the firm’s CEO, told the Journal that Perino has “been through some incredibly difficult experiences at some of the highest levels, and comes out of that an extremely skilled practitioner.”

Congratulations, Dana. Ka-ching$$$!!
